If the battery is completely dead can you still shave with cord plugged in?

Without regard to the charge level, mine will not operate while hooked to the charger. Charge lasts a long time.

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.

You can shave with the cord plugged in, the battery is not replaceable. This is my second Braun's shaver and the battery never has wore out.

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.

yes, it does work with the cord & the battery discharged. In fact, I believe most of my old chargeable razors such as norelco, panasonic, etc., worked corded with the battery discharged. Thanks for asking

It is a cordless razor. It comes with a cord so that you can charge it, but you have to use it cordless. I do not think you can use it while it is charging, i.e. plugged in.

haven't done this yet. But I think so. Also the Braun doesn't take that long to charge, so shaving with it plugged in shouldn't be an issue.

You can run it while its charging, but not sure if that is recommended by the manufacturer. Mine will charge pretty quick though, enough for a quick shave.

You can use the razor while it's plugged in. The battery indicator light will blink green while it's charging and remain solid when it's fully charged. After 30 minutes it will go out to save electricity. When ther is aproximately five minutes left of run time the battery indicator light will go to orange to let you know it's time to recharge. Tom

Does anyone know if it is possible to use this shaver while it's charging?My old ES8152's battery is getting weak. It won't be long before I can't even shave once on a single charge. It now needs $40 worth of replacement parts, and I'm afraid to invest because I don't know how long it will be before it's unusable. Certainly less than the two years it took me to wear out the first outer foil.

Yes. The shaver can be operated either on battery alone and/or with the charging cord plugged in. As best I recall the box came with the shaver, charging cord, carrying case, and a cleaning brush. Hope that I could be of help.

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.

The shaver includes a semi-soft case that fits the razor only. The purchase includes a cord that can be used to charge the battery or operate the razor, a tiny bottle of oil and a very small cleaning brush.The razor can be operated on the battery or can be plugged in and run that way. The only time I've used the cord to operate the razor was when I forgot to charge the battery.

Yep, but the cord isnt very long, and its kind of annoying to shave with it. But it works if youre in a pinch and need to shave but your battery is dead. It can also "quick charge" if you let it charge for a few minutes, it will last long enough to get a quick shave in.

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.

This wonderful shaver can not be used with the cord attached -- at least in my US house. However, it develops about 30% charge from dead in about 10 minutes of plug in time. That's much quicker "fast charge" than most rechargeable items. I think a full 100% charge only takes about one hour. Love the shaver, BTW.

No, you can NOT use it while charging. Since this is a shaver that you can also use in the shower for wet shaving, Panasonic disabled this feature as a measure of safety. If you run out of battery you can quick charge it for 5 minutes, it should give you enough power for a complete shave.Hope this helps.
