I've had my beard trimmer for years. I've replaced the battery once already. It was welded in (talk about planned obsolescence) and I had to make due with soldering an off the shelf AAA. The motor and such are fine, but the battery is going again. I'll end up fixing it, but I don't wanna rely on it. This is a real PITA.

Anyone know of a battery beard trimmer that has a replaceable battery?

The battery started lagging after 2 years, but still runs for 2-3 days on a single charge. One issue was the plastic cage was a little flimsy and eventually snapped off. Ended up getting a second one. Turns out you don't have to lift the cage off every time. Only when oiling the blades.

Being able to dial the height works pretty well. Not sure if necessary. You tend to set it once and then never change it again.
