Dynano hub+"The Plug"+USB charging light; will it keep light charged while its on?
Is it practical to use a Dynamo and "The Plug" to keep a usb light charged and running for long periods? Anyone doing that? How about using a wired tail light in that configuration?
It's a bit more expensive that a dynamo+wired light, but it more functional.
Thx
Steve

The USB charge is, just a trickle.. now if you trickle charge a second battery,
but not have a drain off that battery, the light, until it is charged,
then hook up the light, say an A/B switch, between batteries, that may be OK..
2 AAA batteries in a taillight can last a long time..
