The good thing about LEDs now is that the bright ones are finding their way into generator lighting.
I never seriously used halogen-based battery lighting because the run times were stupidly short (that, and rechargeable battery technology still sucked). I've got some good LED lighting now, including some Dinotte stuff. But, it's AA-powered, not lithium-ion, and I still need to make sure I have a fresh set of batteries on hand.
My point is, I have top-notch battery lights, and I still prefer generator power. If I hadn't already bought some nice Easton wheels for my road bike, it would have a dynohub and some Supernova lights by now.
