I think Joerg meant that the automobile current from a 12~14VAC

It's a lot of hardware for a bicycle I agree, but Joerg's seems to work
for Joerg's values of performance and efficiency. Frank & I prefer a
simple 6VAC tire drive dynamo...
For the record, I also have a couple hub dynamos. And two of my formerly
"tire drive" dynos are now rim drive.
But yes, I certainly prefer those to fussing with recharging or
replacing or remembering batteries.
