So there's actually canonical references giving credence to the trisaber, though this movie is going to shit all over established canon anyway.
As I recall it, though, lightsabers operate on a sort of power feedback loop. The saber part is an energy loop, and so expends energy only when being used to cut/block. This means that a battery needs to be charged very infrequently. If the lightsaber was improperly made, it's more likely that it would simply explode than work well enough to be operational, even with exhaust ports. The extra energy being exhausted would lead to a hugely decreased battery life, too, meaning that it'd spend as much time on the charger as an old laptop. I wonder if this guys saber just gives up in combat?
