rechargeable lights

For the cheap ebay ones, I bought this one as it's zoomable (which means you can make a spot and not blind other road users).
To give you some idea of the power of these lights, think car main beam, I hit 43mph in the pitch black with this light giving me perfect visibility at 8.30pm on Thursday night!!!

My car main beam is good for 143mph. I don't think that light would be!!!

Hmm. I still haven´t found what im looking for.....
I have narrowed down my criterias:
Bright lights for commuting through darkness. (Ill aim for reaching 144 mph
Some light to the sides, to be seen.
long duration on one charge
no batterypack
no screwmounts, should be easy to remove while the bike is locked up
Front and rear should use the same charge system (USB?)
Size is not super important, but i prefer some in the small section.
price 35-60€ for both front and rear

Unfortunately, the bright all in one lights without battery packs tend to be a lot dearer than the ones avaiable on Ebay, £50.00 and upwards, also, when I was looking, there weren't many with side lights, although the Light & Motion ones do: http://road.cc/content/review/74607-light-motion-taz-800-front-light.
Personally, I wouldn't bother with a re-chargeable rear light, they last ages on a set of alkaline AAA batteries anyway and you could always use Ni-Mh rechargeables if you're doing that much night riding. I've had one of these for a few years now and I think I'm only on the second set of batteries: http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/categ...iew-blackburn-design-mars-30-rear-light-29565

Does not exist, but these match your criteria to the greatest extent.

Brought these for winter riding to work and they are mint!!!! USB and wall charge , easy mounting on the bike, and super bright , just watch the cars dip there lights in the distance , it has three different settings on the lights to save on power , I'm well happy with my set, was a little more than I wanted to spend but think of all the batteries you won't have to buy!!!
