I've got a Panasonic ES8243A shaver. It's about 2.5yrs now and works great except for not holding a charge that long anymore. Never really did from day one though I guess.
It's apparently got an 18650 inside. I haven't pulled it apart yet and I'm not going to until I have a new cell in hand. It's my daily driver so I can't give it up. It looks like whatever I purchase, I'll have to solder contacts to each end of the cell or wire it somehow.
Here's a link to a place selling a replacement. I'm guessing this probably isn't the best cell inside that wrapper and I'd like to avoid doing this again for another few years.

I want to put a high quality cell in there with the highest capacity I can. I'm looking for a recommendation. I've only used protected 18650's in lights before so I know nothing regarding the unprotected variants. I guess I'm assuming I should use unprotected. I would think the protection lies elsewhere within the shaver. Right or wrong? Should I be looking for something like the usual Panasonic NCR18650?

Regardless of which cell I replace this with, is there any reason I can't use the factory charger still? I can't be taking the shaver apart every time to charge it.
Please reply with direct links if you can.
Thanks!
