No surprise a dynamo-hater got their facts about lighting wrong. :P
Maybe his charge cables are fucked or he plugged it into a socket and it didn't charge - both things have happened to me in races previously but weren't a big deal because I can charge while riding because I have a dynamo...
Exposure lights require specific charge cables so if he's broken one of them with no spare he might be a bit fucked, but they are substantially tougher than normal USB cables. If it was a case of overloading a shitty USB charger at a stop, he can possibly get another USB charger and try again (I did this when I was topping stuff up - bought two crap chargers instead of one).
hippy

Funny, looks like I've started false rumours! What he says on FB was that his stuff wouldn't charge. I assumed that, when he was riding along, he would be using a dynamo for it to charge. Batteries are pretty good but even I don't expect them to charge when I'm riding.
I reckon he was being too demanding
