Charged mine for 10hrs, still seems to run slow. Is this normal?

I think it's not normal.Though I'm not sure what you mean "slow",but I didn't charge once since I bought it ,and it still works well and clear my beard easily till now.

Yes, this Norelco has that attribute. I, too, was concerned. Slowing down my own motions when using it, I found that in spite of what it sounded like, I got the shave I was looking for. Even though it sounded slow I still got a good shave by adjusting my motions to it; and the shave did Not take any longer.

Mine also runs slow, and quiet. It cuts good and will stay charged for about 10 to11 days.Happy with it.

It does seem to run slower than a corded model, but it seems to run about the same as my previous cordless model. Have not had any other brand so have no knowledge with them. Hope this helps.

Seems a long time to fully charge. Has it always been 12 hours or less in the past?

Your system should be charging it automatically. If you just now installed the battery, wait 24 hours and it should be fine. You may need to reset low battery warning. See your manual for instructions. If it has been installed since February and now is showing low battery , verify the main power source is turned on.

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

No, that's ridiculous. I ran mine last weekend for a solid seven hours, with intermittent bursts on full power to get from one point to another. I also run my fish finder off the same battery. When I got home the battery was still 80 percent charged, and that's the most I've ever drawn it down.

The "very slow" sound effects indicates that the system is not fully powered. Specifically, the CPU clock isn't running at full speed. If that happens, replace the batteries right away. If they're rechargeables, test each one and charge the low ones. I'd recommend anyone using rechargeables get at least 6 extras, if not more, so that when that happens, they don't have to wait for the charge to play again.

I still charge mine daily with normal use. It may be different with someone else though.

Mine was totally uncharged and I plugged it in and started using .. It was ok .. I dont know about indefinitely but certainly for those 10 minutes, it worked without a hitch.

I just received mine. I am still letting charge to full power. The light is still blinking so it is no up to full power yet.

I have only had it a short time but if it gets a full 7 hour initial charge then run it down, which takes about 15 to 20 minutes, then re charge mine runs at least 30 minutes now and should go longer as the recharge process is repeated. I hope this was helpful

Its partially true. Mine takes around a little under 3 hours. For me that's ok since I have mine set aside the bed. At night I just drop it on the charger and I know I got it right when the green light comes on. Before I struggled trying to plug it in, especially when I was lying down and the light was off...lol

Let it charge for 8 to 12 hours. It charges slowat first this helps the battery live longer. you want long term battery health let it charge 100 percent. Then it should be good. I love mine!

Hasn't been a problem for me but the more I read, the more I see owners having 'issues' with power-related matters (not fully charging, etc.). The battery on the unit itself seems to perform well under stated times and (for me) is slow to recharge. Good luck with it.

I charged mine up about 6wks.ago used the cleaning brush today for about 15 minutes when I got thru it showed no signs of needing recharging that's pretty good in my opinion.

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

I generally leave mine on overnight, but I know it doesn't need that much time. Never had one go completely dead, so don't know about that. When I observe it running really slow, I put it on the charger when done using it at that time. I find mine (and I've owned about 5 or 6 of them) usually run about a month on a charge.

I am not experiencing what other people are as far as the charge taking longer. It seems normal to me.
