Really liked the borescope (endoscope) recommended by Mr. Kilmer in one of his latest videos:

Am considering buying one.
Just a small question to anyone who already has this useful device:
- what type of battery (Li-Ion 18650 maybe?) does it use, and is this battery user-replaceable (for someone who knows how to use a screwdriver and even a soldering iron)?
I like products which can serve me for a long time, and having to dump a device like that just cause its battery will be dead in several years is not an option.
Thank you!
Li-ion batteries last a long time. By the time it wears out, there will be boroscopes 100 times better, for about the price of a new battery 😆
"Li-ion batteries last a long time"
7 years or so, in most cases
"there will be boroscopes 100 times better, for about the price of a new battery"
Could be. But that is not a consideration I usually rely upon when spending money.
What does the owner's manual say about the battery replacement?
Maybe I am just not too good at googling things, but I failed to find a manual for this model 🙁 Otherwise I would not have asked.
P.S. Moreover, manuals of many modern devices say that their batteries are _not_ user-replaceable, although they in many cases are, with a little extra effort. But in other cases they are not, or is the effort / risk of ruining the device too high, or are devices utilizing such weird battery types which are extremely hard to get and expensive. That is another reason for me to rely more on what real owners say, as opposed to what the manual says.
