It appears that the along with the Solitaire, the Mag rechargeable (reviewed on this page) is not a prime focus for Mag.
Rechargeable Mag: The origins
The first dedicated rechargable flashlight came out some time ago. It was in the late 1980s. And it was the instantly popular Magcharger.Since Mag Lites were already well loved there was a great anticipation. And there were some tough competitors to beat.

However, they are not quick adopting to LED and that could be due to the complicated fit of this class into the mainstream Mag line.
Parts of the rechargeable Maglite system
They consist of too many parts and the problem with LED that they themselves are quite unpredictable. So the many parts increase the likelyhood of uncertainty of success. My personal hunch is that Mag itself could release an upgrade right now, but it could be prone to problems due to the fit of its structure into the NEW world of LED requirements.Being slow to upgrade this class might also be a problem more ralated to function than parts. Self charging LED flash lights are becoming ever so popular. And now Mag have a problem on its hand wether to upgrade the rechargeable - complicated in itself - or invest into developing a yet new line.
Mag rechargeable: the LED upgrade
There is a possibility as well as a problem with converting the mag light rechargable to LED.Not surprisingly, currently there is only third party conversion available.
And that is the
3
Watt Luxeon LED conversion available from
zbattery for your Mag rechargeable. But as most third party upgrades it
will
void your original Mag
warranty.
LED upgrade of course is an important issue for Mag enthusiasts and sympathisers alike.
I found ones that will not void your warranty and I review them as well as upgrades to all other Mag classes here.
