Customer Reviews of Shaver Battery Pack fits most Norelco models & others
Customer Review: Too Hard to Install
Summary: 1 Stars
I understood the instructions and de-soldered the old Norelco battery as instructed and got the new tabs in place and soldered them. Not much room to work without pulling other wires out of place. I must have fried the circuit board even though I was very careful with the solder gun. Got battery in place and was charging. The problem was that the shaver would NOT turn off. It just kept running whether the switch was on or off. I finally pulled out the plug. I was indeed disappointed after having spent the money for the batteries, which were delivered on time.
Norelco really has put built in planned obsolescence in their shavers. That's the last Norelco I will purchase. All they had to do was put non-soldering terminals on the circuit board and a new battery could have been installed easily. Instead I had to throw the shaver out after a couple of years. The batteries are still good so I have saved them in case they can be used by someone in the future.
Customer Review: Not a straight forward task - need a little handyman task
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this replacement battery pack for a Norelco 7886 XL shaver. I open the shaver by un-screw the two screws on the side-trim and on the main body. Then, a set of nickel cadmium recharhreable batteries appears inside, they are seat in a battery holder, opposite side, with one positive and one negative side stick to a metal from the inside, and the other ends are just a metal plate with springs. I used a pier to remove the battery from
the metal strip by force. Then, curve the metal strip and put the new battery pack, which comes with 2 metal strips already back on the battery holder with the correct polarity (it fits just fine). Just make sure the new metal strips from the new batteries touch the curved old metal strips to make a connection. Then put back the cover and screw back the 2 screws. All done. After recharging, the battery and the shaver works fine again.
Customer Review: Why bother...
Summary: 1 Stars
I had my 5603x for seven years and replaced the heads once. That worked out to about twelve bucks a year for a great shave! When the batteries finally gave out, I looked into replacing them too, but when I opened the shaver up and saw what would be involved, including the "time to do it", (isn't 'planned obsolescence' great!! )I figured buying a new one would be doing my part to help the economy anyway, so "why bother" with such a tedious task and risk damaging other parts in the process(and then what!?). It would have been just as easy for Norelco to make the shaver with "snap in" batteries (maybe easier!) but they need us to buy new ones for their bottom line!! Hopefully my new one will last as long and perform as well as this one did....RIP 5603x!! If you have the time and patience for such an endeavor, have at it!!Customer Review: Norelco Battery Replacement
Summary: 5 Stars
Removing the old battery was the challenge. I didn't want to risk unsoldering the old battery from the circuit board because I thought the risk of buggering the circuit board too great. Instead I used a Dremel tool to cut off the old battery leads at the battery connections. This entailed very carefully cutting the top off of the old batteries and then trimming. It was not a trivial task but not impossible. Then I gently blew the inside of the shaver out with compressed air to remove any metal shavings and other debris. Once this was complete it was easy to solder the new battery leads to the old batter leads, reassemble the shaver and charge the battery the conventional way. It works great.Customer Review: Perfect item-not so perfect installation
Summary: 4 Stars
not too many of these items out there, so this is probably the only place you can get it. i had the choice of getting a new battery or getting a new shaver. this norelco has been working fine for the past 4yrs and purchasing a new one isn't really appealing. only problem with this thing was that installing it required the removal of the original battery that was soldered (not sure if that's the right term, but there were two metal pieces that were melted onto the circuit board that attached the battery to the unit) to the circuit board. i had to use some not so common tools to get the old battery off and the new one on.
other than that problem, this new battery works fine.
