I have an Anker Powercore that has enough output to charge the SD while playing, so just wondering what is the most efficient method to get the most out of both power sources for long haul flights.

I think you'll want to minimize using one battery to charge the other since that would cause more losses, so my vote is on keeping the SD full by playing off the external then continuing with the internal battery once the external is empty. That way most/all power goes directly from battery to being consumed.
