I haven't bought a flashlight that charges in a cradle for a number of years. When I was still working in law enforcement, it was quite common to have Streamlights mounted with a charger in the squad car. Obviously, Inova, Pelican and perhaps others have made them, too. If I recall correctly, most used a proprietary battery pack of some type. Are there any LED lights, that can charge in a cradle, that use a non-proprietary battery? It doesn't really matter that much to me if it is an 18650, 21700, 26650 or other battery size.
What Are Some LED Lights That Charge In A Cradle & Don't Use A Propriety Battery?

Some of Olight's magnetic charging lights have a base substantial enough to maybe be considered a cradle. A few of them will charge standard cells too. The M2R Warrior is the best they offer. (Not the M2R Pro Warrior! Very different and inferior model.) Sadly Olight has been moving away from that and charging only works with their proprietary cells that have pos/neg contacts on each end.
Pelican has some lights that charge regular NiMH cells. Recoil 2400R and Little Ed 3660 and the 8060 and the 3765.
Sunwayman probably makes the best. V60C and T60CS and M60C. There have been several versions of these lights but they all use 3x18650 and possibly the same charging cradle. Though their cradle is more of an upright stand.
Led Lenser makes the only options that would fit easily in a pocket. i6R with 3xAAA NiMH. P5R.2 with 1x14500. P7R and M7R with 1x18650.
