I have both, but have decided that the risk of re-chargeable (U.S.B) lights are a risk.
If you get caught out at night on a pitch-black country road that is infested with
mosquitoes and your U.S.B light goes out because your ride took longer than usual
or you thought it had enough juice, you're in trouble. With battery-powered, pop
the new ones in and you're out of there.
If you're talking about re-chargeable AA batteries, then I wouldn't even even
bother, unless you know that your ride will be under 2 hours. Go with Lithium
Ion batteries for longest life.
