Just saw these on Olight Facebook page.
Don't know specs yet but looks like you can cradle-charge them

Re: *new* Olight S10R and S20R
Great find,Kj2!
I'd like to see full specs of these lights! I wonder if these S10R and S20R will replace the regular S10 and S20 or be an option to these? I wonder if the S10R and S20R will have tail magnets besides of the cradle charge feature? If they don't have tail magnets, i think i will stick to the old ones.

Re: *new* Olight S10R and S20R
So this one comes with a Olight-battery.
Don't think the R-version will replace the regular S10/S20. If I read correctly, I read on the S20R tail; Do not use unspecified batteries.

Re: *new* Olight S10R and S20R
I could not see such tiny text earlier when i surfed with my celluar phone, but now when using a PC i can see the text. It looks for sure that the S10R,S15R, and S20R is a separate series. I like that Olight chooses to use what looks like to be a magnetic USB charging connection that is more resistant to water, rather than the micro-USB with a rubber flap cover that is less resistant. I look forward to see more specs and a review of this series.

Re: *new* Olight S10R and S20R
Just visited the Olight distributor here. He had prototype sample of the S10R, S15R and S20R. As far as I could see, the only thing changed is the charging-part. Because it's still a prototype, he couldn't talk about it. Charging-dock was real small though

I wonder if the S10R, S15R and S20R will have magnets in the tail besides of the charging features?:thinking: I hope so, because then i will get either a S10R or a S20R.

Re: *new* Olight S10R and S20R
Sounds great!
Regarding the text "Do not use unspecified batteries" when looking at the picture in this thread i have some thoughts.In the other thread about the S10R, S15R and S20R the picture showed that these lights can indeed be used with optional RCR123,14500 and 18650 batteries which i really hope is correct. Can anyone verify if one has to use custom li-ion batteries with these lights, or if one can use optional?:thinking:
Prototype I saw still had a magnet

I didn't hear a ETA, but I do expect these will be released before end 2014.

Re: *new* Olight S10R and S20R
Great find,Kj2!
I wonder if the tailcap and the charging station will be sold separately so that one can upgrade the old versions of the S10 and the S20?

What I heard is that these aren't the same. So adding charging tailcap won't work. Of course, that applies to the prototype.

Re: *new* Olight S10R and S20R
I see!
Well, let´s hope that the final lights will have the possibility to have interchangeable tailcaps with the old versions.

Re: *new* Olight S10R and S20R
kj2: about the picture where the three torches are side-by-side: S10R seems really thin, compared to S15R. My S10 (16340) is way thicker than S15 (15400). Any idea what kind of batteries these R-versions will be compatible with?

Re: *new* Olight S10R and S20R
Using the same batteries as the non-rechargeable do. But I do see your point. That S10R looks very thin on that pic. Have seen it in real life. It's the same as the regular S10 only with the charging option.

Re: *new* Olight S10R and S20R
That's not to scale. Why would they make three different chargers? The S10R is pretty much the same size as the S10.

Re: *new* Olight S10R and S20R
Who said there will be three different chargers? People.. The only thing that changes on the outside, is the charging tailcap.
The charging-dock I saw was able to charge the S10R as well the S20R. I have see all three of them.
