When the battery dies for good, can it be replaced? How should the dead battery or shaver be disposed of?

mine lasted about 4 months, then stopped recharging....I threw it in the dumpster

It doesn't need a battery....it has a charger. There will not be a dead battery.

Don't know that it is "acceptable" or not, but I seem to get 3-4 shaves before recharging. I now have 2, so 1 is always on a charger. My 1st one was dropped in water, so it didn't seem to hold a charge for very long. So, I used to use it while plugged in to the charger/outlet. I had to buy my 2nd one because my charger went out and stopped charging (replacement chargers are about $40.00, cheaper to buy a whole new razor)! Guess you could call/email manufacturer and ask them what the "charge/battery" life is, or should be?

I seriously doubt it. I just bought this model (MS2-390) but the previous Remington shavers I had that were very similar to this model would not work with the cord when the battery finally failed. It looks like the battery has to be functional for the shaver to work. In my experience, the shaver batteries last about two and a half years -- at that point you could send it out for a new battery but you may as well pitch it and buy a whole new shaver (good old "planned obsolescence").

Battery is not meant to be replaced. You would have to open it up, like you would a PS3 controller.

At this time, the battery is not replaceable. It is rechargeable, comes with a base that plugs into the wall, and you set the clippers into it; and it has a cord you can plug from the wall to the clippers for direct use. If left on the charger when not in use, the battery will actually outlive the blades. The blades are replaceable, just go to wahl (look in pro tools on their site), and you can get the current blade part #, and a list of places that sell them. I think they are about 12 - 15 dollars. My husband swears by this particular model, because of its long life, precision fine toothed blades, and the ability to replace said blades for very little, about once a year or less.

Yes, the shaver still works with the cord after the battery no longer works. That is what happened to my last Remington shaver. It wouldn't hold a charge, so I just used the cord.

I had my razor go cards standing on end for storage..and the new and older batteries both promptly died...Coincidence?

It is not designed for the owner to replace the battery, however if you are handy you can open it up and replace the battery, it's soldered in so you should be comfortable with a soldering iron.

Unfortunately NO. When the manufacturer quit making the units, replacement parts also disappeared. Your charger may still be good, unless it has been damaged, and the battery could now be too weak to recharge. You are not alone in your disappointment. Too bad another manufacturer has not decided to make these handy, useful tools whose parts match all those Total Trimmer users.

There are no batteries top replace. It has a recharging cord. This is a fantastic shave. Best I've ever had and Have recommended it to others who also rave about it. Good luck.

Yes. Grab the bottom of the ProGlide Power Razor that has Gillette written on it and turn counterclockwise one quarter turn and the battery which is a AAA battery will be exposed. replace with a new AAA battery.Closingthe bottom is the opposite of opening it.That's all there is to it.Hope this is helpful.

I've never had any problem with mine. Keep the shave head clean and good batteries in it. It's fine. IF it actually broke - I'd just replace it.

It is not designed to replace the battery. It should last a few years before it dies though.

But, to your second question, the battery is not replaceable. There are sites on the internet where you can find out how to replace the battery though. My guess is that by the time the battery dies it will be time for a new model anyway. The battery should last at least 5 years I am being told.

Don't understand the end of your question. Good shaver. Wish it was cordless

The razor is rechargeable. I don't know that it's possible to change the battery. My husband had just three of these razors over about forty years, so they obviously last a long time. Replaceable parts and new razors are easily ordered from Wahl by phone.

I have never had an electric shaver battery fail so I don't expect that will be a problem here I also have never seen one with a replaceable battery, although some do run with the cord plugged in The charge is excellent I use it every day and only recharge about every 2 to 3 weeks Pete, I don't think you have to worry about the lifetime of the battery, but always keep the receipt and if something goes wrong, contact the company they may just replace it
