| 663084 | 2008-04-27 08:33:00 | If the battery in these dies can they still be used from the 230v?. I don't seem to be able to find out any info on the internal workings. | Pato (2463) | ||
| 663085 | 2008-04-27 08:39:00 | If you've got a docking one, then it's not a practical possibility. If you have one which you can just plug a cord straight in (please note, it is not safe to do so, highly not recommended) then the mains becomes the primary power source (bypasses the battery). Atleast that's how most rechargable devices work, I may be wrong, but I believe they were wired via parallel circuits rather than series for internal charging anyway, so theoretically plugging in mains should mean instantly operational device, provided everything else is all go. | Deathwish (143) | ||
| 663086 | 2008-04-27 08:47:00 | You can replace the batteries, up here in Auckland there's a place in Pitt Street (http://shavershop.co.nz/) It costs me $32 I think it was for the guy to replace them (dont know what yours looks like but mine were soldered in by tags) All the guy did was de-solder them, and solder another 2 batteries to the tags . |

| 663087 | 2008-04-27 08:55:00 | Well I previously had a 'Cordless' shaver and when the battery gave up after about 18months it wouldn't operate from the mains. I was told it would be cheaper to buy a new one. I thought it might be different with a 'Cord/Cordless' one whereby it would operate from the mains after the battery gave up the ghost?. | Pato (2463) | ||
| 663088 | 2008-04-27 09:02:00 | You can replace the batteries, up here in Auckland there's a place in Pitt Street (http://shavershop.co.nz/) They also have branch in Takapuna. However I guess that from the Kapiti Coast there is not a lot of difference ! Misty :D |
