Cheap Usb Charging Light?

[asherlc]

Anyone know of any cheap dive lights (along these lines) that charges via USB? That sort of light looks more than adequate for my purposes, but I hate having specific chargers that take up space and inevitably get misplaced, when I have a USB charger/cables pretty much wherever I am.

They usually come with a single charger specifically for the 18650. 18650 batteries seem to be pretty common in scuba lights. I currently have a thread in this section requesting advice on the purchase of a multiple battery charger just so I don't have to carry several singles.

xtar vc4 while a specific charger, uses a usb cable to charge. A few other 18650 batteries do as well. I am unsure of any lights that actually charge via USB. Sealing those connectors is not easy

haven't heard of any sealed lights that have a usb connector on the casing for charging. the sealed lights like the sola use a custom usb cable to charge that is usb on one side to connect to a charger and a pin configuration on the other to actually connect to the light.

The custom USB cable would be better than nothing -- much less space to carry a cable than a charger, and cheaper to replace if it gets lost.

the cables are like 30 dollars, not cheap lol

you also have to open up that light in order to charge it, not really any benefit compared to a xtar battery charger.

I trialed a Tovatec Sports Tac 2000 - and I thought it was a really great little budget light. It's usb rechargeable and/or replaceable battery. The focusable beam makes it great for a communication torch (i.e. in wrecks) and, in wide-angle, good for basic Go-Pro illumination. When I'm doing multiple dives, I normally just take a power-bank and top up the battery during surface interval.
