No difference either way. Most flights have electrical recepticals under the seats, so you should be able to plug into power regardless.
As to your original question, you're going to get the same performance either way. I personally just play the SD on battery and then charge it back up with the battery bank and then play it again.
I have actually never flown on a narrow body plane that had charging ports, so I wouldnt say "most flights"
They mentioned it was a "long haul" flight, so I wasn't clear on exactly what kind of plane. But for most commercial flights, they have those amenities.
Recently I've seen several of the newer Airbus A321s and 737-800s have charging ports and power outlets standard. A couple of low cost carriers (intentionally) omit them, and it seems like a coin flip on the older 737/319/320s, esp for US domestic flights. I've taken a couple transatlantic narrowbody flights recently and TAP and Icelandic both had power at the seat. My biggest pet peeve as that, for many flights, you just don't know until you actually get to your seat.
SAS's new A350's are making under-seat outlets an economy plus feature 😑
