| 402340 | 2005-11-06 05:12:00 | In a shaver?? Anyone done this before? They're normal rechargeable batteries, BUT one end is soldered to the circuit board . Don't say trash it, it cost over $300 when I got it . It still goes by power, but the batteries in it, are totally screwed . Even after recharging they're dead in less than 5 mins . |

| 402342 | 2005-11-06 05:55:00 | If they are AA size but have a "tag" on each end for soldering, they are dead common. Jaycar have them, it doesn't matter if the capacity (mAh) is higher, as usually it is. Have done this in several shavers. |

| 402344 | 2005-11-06 06:23:00 | They're Ni-cd batteries . All they've got on them is SAN and 96-07 above this, and RBRC in the middle of them . And Ni-cd in the middle too . and + and - at either end lol . No mention of 2100 mah or whatever . They're AA . 2 of them . And yup one end is soldered to to the board, and the other is shorted / tagged, if this is what u call it, across the 2 batteries . |

| 402345 | 2005-11-06 06:42:00 | The part where the batteries are soldered onto, comes out (it slots into the other part on the shaver - it lays on top of the main board, which cant be removed) . - There's 2 separate circuit boards on the shaver . So, it sounds like once the batteries die, you may have to replace the whole circuit board the batteries are soldered onto (this includes the power plug) . Which, I'm not really keen on doing if I can! |

| 402346 | 2005-11-06 07:11:00 | If they are AA, then tag types are all that they are. You can get NiCd but NiMh will be just fine (I have done this change) as the charger requirements are similar. Probably 600 mAh, so 2000 mAh will last a lot longer. The 96-07 is the date. The 2 cells in series give 2.4v. If you cant get at the soldered connections under the board, cut them off and solder the new ones to the remaining tags. Just don't cook the batteries with too much heat when soldering. Batteries should only be about $7-$8 for 2400 mAh at Jaycar |

| 402347 | 2005-11-06 07:24:00 | Ok . Ta for that GF . I'll shall get 2000 mah batteries . I'll take these shaver ones into Jaycars theyre not far from me . And see what they suggest . I just put a screwdriver under the board end and ripped them off lol . Coz the batteries were also soldered on the board end, and tagged/shorted on the other end . There's still a bit of metal left on the board end, if its not enough, I'll just buy some more, so I can resolder onto the board . |

| 402348 | 2005-11-06 09:31:00 | Why do they solder the batteries in place? seems to me like a rather stupid thing to do, unless the batteries were suposed to outlast the shaver. | Greven (91) | ||
| 402349 | 2005-11-06 17:33:00 | lol well, thats a good ? Greven . Stupid if u ask me . It says use Ni-cd batteries only, on the circuit board . service no 4822 138 10334 so I better get Ni-cd . Well, thats the point of them being rechargeable? Can't be, if they die, when u recharge them . |
