Can’t comment on that specific one but I’ve got a top cap mounted usb charger and you can either piggyback but especially if you’re light has a switch else it’ll take forever to charge as it’s only getting some of the power from the hub, and some to the lights (which will also suffer)
I wired mine up to a simple three pole electrical switch and some Sugru to make a housing so I can choose off, light or usb (charge in the day, lights at night) which is housed in a small top tube bag

be careful some scam website in Germany are selling it at a price too good to be true... and pretty much out of stock everywhere. and not exactly a reasonably priced option.

@Cyclopathic
Doing 2 weeks ish in france in the summer and will be wildcamping/roughing it so would like a way to keep devices charged up.
I'm running the MasonxHUNT 650b dynamo wheels (SON28) and B&M IQ-X front light and thinking of buying a velocharger : https://www.spacycles.co.uk/m12b0s208p3515/ADEPT-ELECTRONICS-VeloCharger-for-Hub-Dynamo
It seems a reasonably priced option for getting some juice into a powerbank to then top up devices.
A) thoughts/feedback on the velocharger?
B) How to connect? Do I just use piggyback connectors where the current front light connects to the dynamo?
Thanks!
