Hello again
An issue with my bike lights running out of juice midway through a ride yesterday has prompted me to looking into ways of charging them back up in such an emergency. I have a couple of USB chargeable lights and I was wondering if they'd be a way of charing them up or keeping them running using a sidewall (bottle) dynamo connected to something like a Kemo 172N USB charger pack? Are there any tech experts who could set the record straight on this issue? I forgot to mention I use a Cateye Volt 800 front and Exposure TraceR back light both of which are usb charged, I'm on a tight budget so a dynamo hub would be out of the question and I don't want to change anything on my '80s road bikes.
Thank in advance.
