My cordless clipper battery died halfway through a fade this morning

Had to finish the last two clients with my old corded ones, which felt like a step back. What's a reliable brand for clipper batteries that actually hold a charge for more than a year?

Honestly, I've had the opposite experience. My Wahl cordless clippers from five years ago still run for a full day on the original battery. Maybe the issue is with newer models across all brands using cheaper parts. I'd look at your charging habits before buying another set.

A full day on a five year old battery? That's wild. Mine barely holds a charge for one haircut now. You must have gotten the last good one they ever made. The new ones feel so much lighter and cheaper in your hand. It's not my charging habits, I'm really careful about that. They just don't build stuff to last anymore.

Wait, you still have a working corded pair as a backup? Mine broke years ago and I never replaced them. That's actually pretty smart. I swear battery life on everything has gotten worse lately, not just clippers. Did you leave the cordless one on the charger all the time? I heard that can wreck the battery faster.
