I read you. I felt the same way but couldn't find a better side light.
So after doing a little shopping online, I found I could purchase a pack of (5) Energizer CR2032 Lithium batteries at Amazon for $5.79 including shipping. Comes to $1.16 per battery and each battery should last at least 30 days for my commute. Not a bad investment for the amount of safety.
On the other hand, a rechargeable spoke light is not practical due to the weight of the heavier battery revolving around the wheel making it out of balance.
