Black Diamond ReVolt Review

The ReVolt wins our Top Pick Award for Travel, as the best USB rechargeable headlamp for travel, and an overall excellent product. While it does not stand out for any one attribute, it is a solid performer all around. The ReVolt is a great option for extended trips where you don’t want to carry extra batteries, as the ReVolt can charge off just about anything with a USB adapter: a solar panel, car cigarette lighter, a laptop, external battery, or a 110 wall outlet with a USB adapter. You can top off the charge every day if you wish, and start each activity with a full charge and piece of mind of how much battery life you have. With most headlamps, there is no way to tell how close you are to running out of juice, but the ReVolt has a simple battery indication LED to keep you informed. Adding convenience, the ReVolt also works with regular alkaline AAA batteries. Get the scoop on how it stands up to the competition in our review of headlamps.
