+1. On tour I run my lights often for a couple hours leaving before daybreak. Then the hub keeps my iPhone plus other rechargeable lights including a camping light charged day to day. I don't stop at motels to charge up, I'm not searching for places to let me plug in. I don't hang out somewhere when I'd rather keep moving, because I'm waiting for something to charge.
I keep a mophie juice pack pro charged up with it plugged into the hub for most of the day. Then I use the juice pack to charge the iPhone/other at night.
