Charger / cable replacement - Light & Motion Urban 350 front light
A bit of a silly question - I recently got the Urban 350 front light and like it a lot for my commute, but managed to lose the cable. Will any micro USB charger be ok as a replacement? Any recommendations for finding something roughly similar to what I lost? (It didn't occur to me til now that there are so many options but it'd be nice to find something about the same length, whatever that was - small enough to be easy to pack, long enough that it's not dangling from the wall if I use an adapter).
Thanks!
Thanks!

Not silly at all. The Urban 350 uses a USB charger, which s 5 volts. As long as the plug is the same size you should be okay WITH ONE CAVEAT...amperage. The original USB computer spec is 500mA or .5 Amps.I have a Niterider 500 and I use 1000 mA and 1500 mA (1 A and 1.5A) Some of the newer smartphones and other devices that use USB-style plugs require even higher amperage. I would worry that anything over 1500 may be too much current and risk burning out the light's circuits.

Urban350 charging issues
After 2 years, my light stopped taking a charge. I kept it charged during the off season but it would only show green when I plugged into a charger and wouldn't hold a charge. Plugging it in while it is on seems to have reset it and allows it to take a charge. It won't take a charge unless I plug it in while on.
