This is one of the many reasons I like to get gear that requires batteries in AA. It's easy to keep spare rechargeable batteries strapped to my pack and swap out of something is getting low. And I can still grab regular AA if I need them.

And now out of idle curiosity you have me wondering if there is a small crank charger worth having
