    Plug it straight into anything with a USB port.

    the usb connector looks like it will snap off after a while from the weight of the light pulling down on it. will also be hard to plug it in beside anything else

    The Lezyne ones I have had for some time have a similar connection and they're pretty solid. Never had any problems with it. (They are fine on a desktop PC or wall socket but could be more vulnerable on a laptop/tablet where there is a greater risk of damage).

    As wish says, its not a problem. They use an extra thick PCB and it works fine.

    I've had a set for 12 months and no damage to the USB charge port.
    A decent set of lights for handy money.

    It certainly looks like a better connector solution than microusb which will fail due to moisture.
