To qualify for Special Recharge, the Energy Reserve must require external charging, which means "external from the user." The usual methods of gathering energy from outside are DR (Absorption) and Leech, and spells such as Steal Energy. With an Accessibility limitation such as "Only during mass" or "Only in a nuclear reactor," suitably modified Regeneration also counts. Regeneration without such a limitation does not count, as there's nothing "special" about the recharge – it effectively comes from within.

It seems that (for example) a mana-sensitive Regeneration would be acceptable then - if it's drawing mana from the external environment and shuts down at Low Mana, it seems to fit the bill entirely. It's obviously more expensive than "Only in a nuclear reactor" (the rough equivalent would be, I suppose, Only In Wild Mana) but it's more broadly useful.
