Thus, I do not think you would be interested in what I use for taillights. I use AAA powered Planet Bike Superflash or Superflash 65 lights. And I use NiMH rechargeable AAA batteries. When touring I bring a USB powered NiMH AAA and AA charger. That meets your stated criteria, but I am removing the batteries from the light to charge them once a week.
Headlights, there are AAA powered lights too, thus you can run them on NiMH AAA batteries. But I have not bought one for over a decade, so I am not going to suggest one that probably is no longer made..
For home use I use an Accupower IQ328 AA/AAA charger, but I use a lot of AA and AAA batteries, so I invested in a top notch charger and this one is not USB powered.
Thanks! So you hit the nail on the head with the first part of your response. I want to be able to charge using a USB but also be able to replace the battery myself once it gets old and hold a charge anymore.
