if the battery is totally dead will it fully work right away if it is plugged in to an outlet without having to wait?

I don't, think so. I believe you will have to charge it for a period of time first.
1169231
Not for me. I had this same issue the other day. The razor stops and seems like it's broken. One other TIP! - when traveling, do NOT just unplug it from the wall. Unplug it from both the wall and unit. Otherwise, this creates a connection and will drain the battery quickly.

this one did not work however wahl did send a replacement right away and it has been working fine for 2 weeks without a charge
1169233
Yes. It works right away with zero charge as long as it is plugged in. This actually happened for me yesterday, so I can say without question that yes, it will.
1169234
No, it will not. The unit will not run while plugged it until the battery is partially charged. If the battery is worn out due to age, the power adapter is useless and you will need to purchase a new battery from Wahl. I've had my unit for 4 years and have thoroughly tested it. The battery is not covered under the warranty plan as it is considered normal wear and tear.

If it is totally dead it may not work. For dead batteries a manual charger works better.

True, Like any rechargeable item charging it once it is completely dead will prolong the battery life to its fullest.

Yes, About 3 hours if it's totally dead and about 2 and a half if you want to just charge it. The battery itself lasts for about 2-3 days for me without having to plug up on full.

I would say no. Neither battery I have had ever discharged when plugged in.

According to the included manual, yes. But they note you should only do so when the battery is dead or almost dead. And if the battery is completely dead, wait for a couple of minutes after plugging in to use it.

You should be able to turn the computer on as soon as it's plugged in, but in my experience it takes about an hour to fully charge.

If you are wondering wether your can plug it so that you can continue using it right after the battery discharges, then the answer is no. It will work while plugged in only if the battery has still some charge in it.

No, the power has to be ON and set the volt charge time to immediate or place it on a schedule . That way as soon as it gets power it starts to charge. I hope this answered your question.

Check your battery. It has to be at least half full before the function to work.

The answer to this question is absolutely yes, but it will take a very long time to do so, probably so long you don't need to worry about it. Even if no devices are plugged in, there is still a small amount of current (quiescent current) drawn by the device that converts the battery voltage to USB voltage (5V). I am an electrical engineer that designs power supplies.

I plugged it into an outlet that is controlled by a switch. It came back on automatically when I switched it on and off. I'm guessing that means that it will also turn on automatically after a power failure.

yes with a direct wire connection (not an outlet plug)... with a battery back up
1736789
No it will not charge until i plug the usb cord to the back up battery and it will charge for a quick second before it turn off.

Mine was nearly fully-charged and I used it right away. It didn't take long to bring it to full charge either.

As long as it is not plugged into the battery that's normal I was told by a local service company however Check the voltage at the plug going intro battery. I got mine a few weeks ago and it doesn't work

Should work as long as the device not being used is completely powered off.
