2. No electrical outlets available (even the one used by the... computer)

Even if you are charging in a car or boat (ironic for a bike light), it would be nothing more than getting a charger with a wall wart and getting a 12V step up/down adapter for it. Or even buying an inverter.
Simpiler than getting TWO chargers and less expensive.
Most peole have a spot at work or home with an available USB port. This way you can recharge it before you ride home from work etc.
