Has anyone used a portable USB charger battery to charge USB rechargeable lights? I am using a Serfas E-Lume 450 on the front, and a Serfas Cosmos 60 on the rear on my Terra Trike Traveler.
Will be going on rides where USB adapter won't have 110v available, or a USB port is not available.
Would like to here from anyone who have used these USB charger batteries for this purpose. There are some pretty high capacity (mah) units available. The E-Lume 450 uses 700 mah during recharging, but the literature with the Cosmos doesn't state that information. I'm guessing it uses a lesser charging rate than the 450. I would guess one could get multiple charges from one of the higher capacity units. What do you think?
Thanks for any info/experience in advance.

Not all lights will work while they are charging. You would have to test them to see which will work and which won't.
You can always get a solar panel and charge the light off that, if you can find a way to mount the panel so it's in sunlight while you are riding. For that matter you may be able to charge the portable charger that way.
Am looking for a decent USB power back to not only recharge lights from but also to run an LED light strip. Hard to find a power bank that supplies 5V for USB devices and having a 12V output for the LED strips while being affordable.
Have a SunTactics s-Charger 8 solar panel to recharge USB devices on sunny days. Used the solar panels to recharge a GoPro Hero Session mid-ride. It has two ports to charge from at the same time.
