Hello. Will this shaver work as a CORDED shaver if the battery is DEAD? Thank you!

No, you'll have to charge it for a few minutes and then leave it plugged in to use it.

You are welcome. After 9 days of shaving heavy beard everyday the thing used 60% of its reserve according to the charger/cleaner when I returned home. Took razor, supplied brush and supplied carrying case. Didn't need intrechangable power cord at all.

As dpydee said you can shave with it with the cord but not if it has discharged completely. If that happens then it must recharge for a while before it can be used with the cord. Not sure about the 5-15 minutes but I will take his/her word for it.

Well, it comes with a charger which plugs into the wall and into the razor. If that's what you mean. It runs off the battery so if it's run down you can't just plug in the cord / charger and start shaving. You have to let it charge up a little.

The charger is a brick that you plug straight into the wall, not a cord or anything you could use while shaving if that's what you're asking. The shaver sits on top of the brick when you plug it in.

Absolutely. The cord that plugs into the charging/cleaning base can also be plugged directly into the razor. Just bring that cord with you when traveling and you're good to go.

Don't know if the battery can be replaced, but yes you can shave with it plugged in. Before I bought this I had the previous version for nearly 10 years and the battery has still never quit The reason I replaced is I dropped it and messed up the head. Even now it still runs...

Copied from the Product Description (so apparently it does....you'd probably have to have an adaptor for the plug, though, which isn't included): Other Features: Corded for shaving with a cord; Worldwide Voltage adjusts automatically from 100V to 240V AC; Also, here's the URL for their "Contact" page: http://www.support.philips.com/support/contact/contact_page.jsp;jsessionid=13799561FCAA5DF6E4F1F9D59A246353.app107-drp1?userLanguage=en&userCountry=us&_requestid=370492 On that page: Scroll down to Philips Norelco for contact phone # and live chat link.

Yes. It comes with a charging cord that can fit in either the clean-and-charge base or the shaver itself. The shaver can also be used corded with the cord plugged into an outlet.

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

The shaver uses AA batteries which are not supplied with the unit.. The batteries are not expensive to buy.

Yes it is cordless, cord to charge. Works at full charge at all times plugged in tho, takes about 30min to fully charge. Easy to clean. This is the best shaver on the market. Easy to use. Just about as close as a straight razor

You can plug the cord directly into the trimmer. Also, if it's out of charge, it will work while plugged in, which is helpful.

First of all, I agree with the other poster, why would you want to use it in the car? I wouldn't want to drive near you. Second of all, you should read the full description before posting a question easily asnwered. I quote "Accessories to use with this shaver are #HQ9 Speed-XL Replacement Heads and #HQ8010 Car Cord Adaptor." And third, you can use any cordless shaver in the car. It doesn't have to be plugged in. But if you like to shave for more than an hour in the car, yes it has an available car cord adaptor.

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.

Both -- it is cordless 99.999% of time -- would only shave with cord if power was low for some reason, one I can't think of unless you are careless in not charging it. It has idiot lights to preclude that, too.

I like the razor and keep it charged most of the time.... saying that, you might want to keep the razor plugged in while shaving. There doesn't seem to be any loss of cutting power while you groom yourself.
