The irony of this video is that I had the same exact trimmer as this man's old trimmer and the same exact thing happened with the battery. I never got rid of it though and continued using it regardless of the issue of having to put it on charge for 5 mins before it could function. I did this for 10 years and finally today, the shaver just came to a grinding halt. I consider it a friend as it stood the test of time regardless of its issues. Today, I have sent it to live with other shavers in the big wide world of the dump yard, but its memory will never fade. Because this is the first video I watched regarding this newer Philips model, I will buy it without asking any questions as I believe it was meant to be.
Thanks for the battery explanation. I'm shocked how poorly some of these trimmers run power-wise after a couple years and it's not just philips. They all do it so we have to keep repurchasing. It's purely greed and profit. Also the plastic trimmer pieces can break from many companies. Thanks for the review, I'll look out for this kind of battery
