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.

I bought 2 packs of 20pc x cr2032 battery from Deal extreme for $3.43 + SH per pack. Comes out to about 17 cents a piece before SH. Probably the best deal and some of the very few things that I do buy from Deal Extreme. Still have several sitting around the shelf for almost a year now and they still are good.
