USB Bike light chargers ( with multiple outlets )

[Christopher Lycett]

I have front & rear lights with integral batteries (Exposure) and would like to be able to charge both at once. OK from home as I can use my laptop but away from home, touring for instance, I'm thinking of a dual output USB wall charger. But I don't know what the safe/optimum output of these chargers should be.The front light is bigger than the rear and wonder if it should have a different charge? There don't seem to be bike light specific chargers out there with multiple outlets which seems strange to me as we all use at least two lights!

Earlier this year I bought a 60W Anker 6 way charger - too many gadgets not enough time! I don't think I've yet used all 6 outputs at once but it does allow fast charging, I think up to 2.1A per port, of several things at once.

Another, tangential, thought - I bought a set of Aldi rechargeable lights for Mrs H's bike for very ocassional use & they came with a USB lead with 2 tail, so you can charge both lights from a single USB socket.

Plus one for anker.

Recently got one of these for home and touring.

Has some sort of smart charging system I gather so you will be fine I'm sure.

Very well made.

Can also recommend their powerbanks.

Edit, this may well be faster than from a laptop usb port. Perhaps the techies can advise.

Anker also do good charging leads. I find they snap rather positively into the pig of a design which is the micro usb.

Ikea do a three outlet one called KOPPLA

Thanks y'all. I've bought an Anker dual port wall charger and it works a treat; checking also with Exposure technical. Sorted!

The charging current of a usb device is almost always determined by the device itself, so choose your charger based on the quality and number/current possible on each port provided by the charger.
