came to say that. Looks like the old one was 15v, while if the new one is USB-A it was 5v.
Now, if it was USB-C, it could still have been USB-C!

the new trimmer, the charger is USB-A only. Where's the previous one had the plug on it instead.
Maybe I'm confused.
Your new trimmer takes in USB (Low Voltage DC) power.
Your old trimmer took in Plug (High Voltage AC) power.
If that's the case, yeah of course the plugs would be different? You'd fry the new one with the old plug.

Neither of them take AC power. I have an older one similar to OP’s old one. It uses a wall wart and the input is definitely DC.

The OneBlade has a transformer in the wall plug part, the actual cable going to the handheld unit is only carrying low voltage.

What low voltage though? Unless it’s 5V like USB (non-PD and non-QC), they should and need to be incompatible.
