@fuss did you succeed?

I haven’t bought the batteries yet. They were overpriced in my region (with shipping costs). For now, I use the shaver with leads connected.

Use low self-discharge NiMHs and it will make you angry many years.

Design of this cutter is faulty - it tugs your hair when you try to cut too much or too fast.

Personally, I have been using this hair clipper for many years and it works perfectly well. Today I have to replace the battery. Can anyone tell me what the battery model is and if I need to use a soldering iron to replace it?

It is mentioned above:

So yes, a soldering iron is required, and the battery must have lips (i.e. not the standard AAA batteries you can find in any shop).
