Why do you recommend battery powered products rather than Dynamo products?
Dynamo products have an internal battery which is charged by ‘winding’. If these products are left for a long period of time without winding, the internal battery may become completely discharged and they then become very hard to recharge. This means that in an emergency these dynamo products may not work at all, or will take several minutes to recharge but may then quickly go flat. Due to the variable quality of these products we no longer consider them appropriate for emergency kits, unless used as a back up to battery operated devices.
The only exception to this is if the dynamo product also has a battery compartment which operates separately to the internal battery; this means that if the dynamo component fails you can use batteries instead.
We would recommend that all of your existing dynamo products be checked and then regularly maintained to test their functionality (at least every 6 months).  We recommend using high quality LED torches with long life alkaline batteries as these are a much more reliable product.  LED bulbs are very reliable and alkaline batteries (NOT carbon Zinc batteries) have a 5 year shelf life and do not have a tendency to leak like the old carbon batteries.
