I was browsing Robin24k's site (Led-Resource) and noticed a comment mentioning upcoming rechargeable versions of the Mag-Tac and MagCharger. After a few years of dead-end leads (ML150 comes to mind) and not-quite-there-yets (ML125), it appears that an LED MagCharger is officially on the way. BrightGuy has a listing for it on their store and as well as an announcement page with PDFs for both rechargeable models on their FlashlightUniversity page. Mag-Tac Rechargeable will be using LiFePO4, probably for liability and longevity reasons.
I'll probably pick one of these up when they come out, I really like the idea of a cradle-charging light. You can probably use D-cell extenders (Fivemega 120mm extender, for example) to vastly increase the runtime of the MagCharger with decent D cells (Tenergy Centura, et al).
- LED MagCharger is slated to "begin shipping in late 2013 or early 2014." I'm guessing MagCharger will be available in February-March based on prior product releases.
- Mag-Tac Rechargable availability is TBA. While we're at it, it could use a less-cumbersome name: I like "TacCharger" because it better abides with established naming convention using one-half the syllables.
