I'm trying to find a decent rechargeable battery dash cam that doesn't need to be powered through the cigarette lighter. I'm pretty stumped here, any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Does it have to be rechargeable? You mention cigarette lighter but what about hardwired?

They make many of them that can piggyback off the rearview mirror harness and you don’t have to fish a wire through the vehicle. I just bought a FitCamX that integrates pretty seamlessly in my vehicle.

That definitely sounds like an option. But have you seen rechargeable models or those that use replaceable batteries?

I'd be wary of the cameras on that list. I have the Rove and it's definitely NOT rechargeable.

To the OP, What kind of vehicle do you have? On my f-150 I pulled power of the rearview mirror and it was super simple. It should be possible with almost any vehicle with a powered rear view mirror.

This is an F-150 example, but search youtube for your make, year and model.
