Will the shaver still work with the cord after the battery no longer holds a charge?

NO; but the battery will last a long time, My last Remington Razor lasted 20+ Years. Rick Fowler

My guess is yes. My previous triple foil shaver (same brand) worked with the cord after the battery finally died. I tried to take apart to replace the battery but to no avail so I ended up with this one. You would expect that at that price you could replace the battery on your own or at the very least send it in to have it replaced. Very disappointed with that point on this product brand. My battery lasted for about 7 years and by that time the saver was obsolete and no one had parts.

Yes, it works with a dead battery but plugged in. I currently have two of these shavers -- the older one the battery doesn't hold a charge anymore, but it still works corded. The cord is so short it's hard to use that way, though, which is why I bought a new one.

Yes, the shaver still works with the cord after the battery no longer works. That is what happened to my last Remington shaver. It wouldn't hold a charge, so I just used the cord.

I seriously doubt it. I just bought this model (MS2-390) but the previous Remington shavers I had that were very similar to this model would not work with the cord when the battery finally failed. It looks like the battery has to be functional for the shaver to work. In my experience, the shaver batteries last about two and a half years -- at that point you could send it out for a new battery but you may as well pitch it and buy a whole new shaver (good old "planned obsolescence").

Don't understand the end of your question. Good shaver. Wish it was cordless

The charging cord plugs into the razor stand. The razor sits in the stand to charge. So not feasible to use razor while charging. But I recall reading in the instructions that a quick charge can be done in about three minutes, providing enough juice for a shave.

yes you can shave with the razor plugged in but no need to. The charge lasts almost a month when you shave with it unplugged. There are a series of lights on the razor which indicate the level to which it is charged (ie 100%, 80 % etc)

so noone has replaced their battery (instead of the shaver)? maybe its cheaper to try

The shaver does not use a cord. It charges on a charging stand which is plugged via cord to the wall receptacle.

I actually don't know. Here's why. Almost everytime I use it I store it in the charger so it charges after each use. On occasion while traveling I've used it maybe five times without charging and it's held the charge through that and when I did charge it after that use, I never noticed how long it took. The shaver doesn't tell you how much of the battery is left before it needs to be charged. I guess they assume you'll store and charge it after each use.

Mine is 4 years old and no longer holds a charge for very long. (A full charge lasts maybe one or two shaves, whereas before it would last for weeks.) I intend to replace it with the same model, though. Great shaver, perfect for shaving in the shower.

It comes wih an electrical cord that when plugged into an outlet charges the shaver. You can also use the cord to operate the razor when it's battery is low.

Best electric razor ever. Afraid that I do not understand your question. It is a standard kind of cord. It plugs into the stand which holds the shaver while not in use, during which time it charges the shaver. Cord serves no other purpose. J. Pierpont Tipton

yes ,It will work corded,then when done shaving ,leave it plugged in to charge it.

I've never had any problem with mine. Keep the shave head clean and good batteries in it. It's fine. IF it actually broke - I'd just replace it.

We regret to read about your shaver. If the battery only holds a charge for a short time we would recommend replacing the shaver as the unit is not designed to used a replacement battery. If it will not charge at all then you may have a non-functional charging stand and could obtain replacement part number - RE7-43.

The Norelco has a charging cord which is used to charge the battery. Each full charge lasts about 48 shaving minutes. When the razor is not being charged, the cord is not attached to either the wall or razor.

Aren't all electric shavers made of plastic? As long as you do not drop it, it should last as long as the rechargeable battery does.

You do not. The cord is only to charge the shaver. You don't even have the option to run the shaver while plugged in.

Unbelievable but yes: The shaver will not run while plugged in to an outlet. You must wait for the shaver to recharge so as to resume. I always leave the shaver continuously charging when not in use (more than 23.5 hours a day); this maximizes the charge and has not (yet) caused the unit to overcharge or otherwise malfunction. As for holding a charge while in use, I have not timed how long it lasts. I have also not timed how long a fully charged, but unplugged and unused charge lasts either.
