Can this trimmer be powered while using with wall power? Some will shut off wall power and run on only battery while plugged in.

the AC charger does not provide enough power to run the trimmer if it runs out of battery power nor come to the rescue when you start running low. Most other Norelco products I have can be used with AC adaptor with no battery power.

Yes, this model Norelco trimmer will operate and trim while plugged into a wall outlet.Regards,

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.

I just plugged the charger in and its works just like off the battery. No problems.

It does work when it's plugged in, just kind of annoying and it recommends not to. But I have before haha. There is no battery indicator light either which is kind of odd, so you kind of just hope it lasts or that it's charging. Haven't had any problems about it not charging but its still strange.

I use it with an extension cord all the time. But when I am not using the charger, I turn off the power to it by either disconnecting the extension cord from the AC power strip or by turning off the switch on my power strip mounted on my garage wall.

No. Not battery powered. You have to use a 24v transformer which plugs into a wall outlet. It all comes in the box.

You can leave it plugged in using a usb cable with a plug in adapter at the wall, similar to a lot of devices now that charge via usb cable. Just leave it plugged in and it will operate off electricity and keep the battery charged. Be aware that on mine the water in one speaker quit "dancing". Not sure what this was related to but probably not a power issue but defective.

Yes. For us, it was burning through batteries. So now it primarily stays plugged into wall. Used in nursery.

Hi SarahYes, you can run it on battery, but the battery life is short. I use the power plug most of the time.

Yes, the control device draws the same power as if it were plugged into the wall directly. For example, in my case my receiver is the control device, and operates in standby mode when I turn it off.

Yes. I've used it while it is plugged in.When you says "use it uncharged", I assume you mean use it when the battery has been drawn to a very low level. If you plug it in, it will start charging the battery and when you turn it on, it will stop charging while allowing you to shave and when you turn it off (while it is still plug in), it will resume charging the battery. Hope it helps.

Yes, but I use the battery alone without the plug in power. My shop is off grid so it is nice that I don't need to plug it in.

Yes, it will run while plugged in. This particular one is nice for using at fish cleaning stations that don't have power outlets or if a person just doesn't want to deal with having a cord attached to the knife as they are usually in the way or they end up dragging across fish gunk on the cleaning table.

No, it is meant to work only on a battery. It works well but unfortunately, it cannot use a wall outlet.

Yes, it can be used while plugged in, but it does not make any more power. It's a decent multiple purpose unit. Good for beards, hair cuts, ear and nose hair. But it's main draw back is it's not as powerful as the corded units, which will be better for beard and hair cutting. Otherwise my only complaint was if rather have a carry bag over a display stand that's included.

This is just a battery for the most part, but it comes with a small "wall wart" charger that you plug in to give it the energy it has. That "wall-wart" doesn't meet those states rules on "power conservation", so they aren't allowed there.

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.

It is powered by an included wall wart plug. It runs on a lithium battery (internal) for hours when not plugged in.

I have never used it until the battery was completely depleted; however on one occasion I used it for 45 minutes with no loss in power but the battery was showing empty. I am impressed with the speed of the battery recharge; with two batteries you have almost continuous battery power.This is not a heavy duty trimmer for an acreage property; after all it is a one string trimmer. For my heavy trimming I still use a heavy duty gas trimmer. This said, for trimming around yard edges, bushes and for edging sidewalks, it is outstanding. I would definitely but it again.

No. The trimmer takes a 20V lithium battery as used on the newer B&D hand drills
