I've got a little Lumintrail that I like, but after about a year, and only about 6 months of actual riding, it's not holding a charge very well- less than an hour.

Most of my rides are on rails to trails paved routes, early in the morning.
That's up to you and your particular needs. But you should know that battery quality varies, especially among rechargeables. A good USB rechargeable battery should last three years.
