You'd have have to take on any modifications strictly on your own. There's a Kickstarter for a second generation that is supposed to have a stand light and beam pattern closer to complying to the German standard. It didn't mention an external charge function.

But it's claimed to have a very good quality of light output, and drag is not perceptible.
