Well, ultrafire used to make one (sold on DX) that was called the WF-138 (pretty stupid since their CR123 charger is also WF-138). I don't know anything about that one.
The one in the link charges at 500 mA. that is over 1C (typical 10440s are 300-350 mAh no matter what the label says). I'm unsure of the proper charge rate but AW does not spec the WF-139 as a 10440 charger because the charge rate is too high. That one is listed as 450 mA, so this one is even worse!
Not sure if this universal charger is a good idea...

Charge rate appears to be 250 mA, which is slow for 14500 but safe for 10440.

It's a bit pricey but good, you just need to charge 10440's with something else in the channel next to it.
