Knowing my penchant for storing dead (flat) batteries in my flashlight (torch)....I reckon the cure is one of those new fangled "Shaka-lights". The way a 212 bounces around it would be fully charged without a lot of human interface being required.
I would think if your electrical systems died one night while flogging about the Bounding Blue, one's hands would be shaking so bad you would not have to devote any mental capacity to keep the thing lit.
