I'm looking for a good, reasonably priced cordless soldering iron as a gift.

Budget is around €50 - 150. It will mainly be used for hobby electronics, PCB soldering, and occasional small repairs.

Any recommendations? What specs should I look for? Any brands or models I should consider / avoid?

I'm based in Germany.

EDIT: Thanks for pointing out cordless is not the way to go. I sincerely hoped those would be useful nowadays.

I will go the cord way, powered by USB-C instead. Any tips for these devices are welcomed.

EDIT II: Thanks everybody. I decided to pick the Pinecil v2.

While not battery powered, I have a pinecil iron that uses USB that I like. You could likely power it with a power bank, assuming you find one that hits 20v.

I recommend a silicone cable also on pine64, for heat resistance.
