Default Inexpensive, low-latency guitar wireless with user-replaceable transmitter battery?

Is there such a thing as an inexpensive—but not necessarily "dirt cheap" like $80—low-latency guitar wireless system with (a) user-replaceable transmitter battery/batteries?

I have the vocal mic and it is pretty decent.

Here's some older models, but at least one newer model exists too. I saw it listed as an alternative in the page margins when I was looking around a few days ago on Amazon. But now, doing a direct search on Amazon, I couldn't find it. It is there.....somewhere. I'd say 95% are lithium.

https://www.amazon.com/CNZ-Audio-Wir...8806931&sr=8-3

Since lithium are basically disposable after 5-7 years (if used a lot) I looked around and settled on this but forgot to click the 5% off coupon button sadly.

At least one professional liked it a lot in real use situation:

If I later again stumble upon that newer version that uses AAA batteries, I'll add it here also.

This looks more or less like what I envisioned. The only thing is, I cannot find the latency spec for it, even on the official AKG website.

Unless I'm missing something, these specific models all seem to use internal, non-replaceable rechargeable batteries. I'd rather use cable. If you do stumble upon a model that uses user-replaceable batteries—not necessarily common type, just commercially available—I would love it if you could add it here.

In one or two, I think you need to see the answer in the comments, but the first is front and center.

If you find nothing, know that the info and links came from a review that described each of 10 in detail and these I selected all used AAA.

Not sure how you could miss the first one though. It's right in the description.

There are more out there, but it seems when these first came out, AAAs were the preferred way to go. Now, a few of the AAA versions remain but mainly lithium.

When you first switch it on, it takes about 5 seconds for the transmitter to "talk" to the receiver. Otherwise, the latency is imperceptible to my ears with the vocal mic, so I would think it's less than 100ms easily.

Sorry, it looks like I did miss the battery info on some items. I apologize. Here's what skipping the daily coffee fix does to some people.
