This is a very comprehensive video which allowed me to bring the razor back from the dead! The price of foils and cutters for other models is very high but for this model they can still be bought at a reasonable price. Thanks a lot!

I find the cutter heads very expensive and often got fakes (not sharp!). I changed to a safety razor.

I try to buy genuine with this sort of thing. But your right it's so easy to get caught out with fake goods online these days. I'd miss going to the shops if I didn't hate shopping so much. 😂👍

A lot of engineering has gone into that. Nice to see it’s been given a new lease of life 🔧😎

This is my backup so has been sitting for a few years with no charge so user error. But new batteries and its as good as new.

I was able to do the battery change with your help. Works like new. Doubt I would have done this without this step by step video. Thanks!

I just bought myself a Braun 3040s shaver to replace an older Braun series 3 shaver that I was using and the manual includes a diagram of how to replace the Nimh battery. Being able to easily replace a dead battery is a nice feature to have with an electric shaver.

I like the idea of replacing batteries rather rather than dump a perfectly good device.👍

Just replaced my 9 year old original batteries thanks to this video!! Instead of using the specialty battery, I used 2 Eneloop batteries and used a flathead screwdriver to gently bend in the prongs to touch the positive and negative sides. The case holds the batteries in place and don't have to worry about not having the double sided tips clipping in place.

Thanks mate, this was very helpful to me in fixing 3 Braun shavers when I saw the price of a new one.

Do all the shavers have two poles going to the blades.

Not sure what you mean by poles

Worked like a charm, thanks! Replacement NiMH batteries ordered from Amazon arrived with NO polarity markings, which slowed things down until I dug up my multimeter to figure out which end was +. Otherwise uneventful.

@50plusdad-uk Ай бұрын

Nice one 👍

@DavideNastri 11 ай бұрын

Hello! Is it possible to mod those razors so that they work using main power instead of batteries?

@50plusdad-uk 11 ай бұрын

Not sure about mains but it might be possible and safer to hard wire a transformer that has the correct power and voltage.

@Benzknees Ай бұрын

Great tutorial, inspiring me to do the same. But then I found the link to those batteries, plus a new foil, cost more than a brand new razor!

I have a model 5414 and a model 5416. I see from the videos they contain two 1.2 volt NimH batteries. The curious thing is that Braun labels them on the outside of the case (you have to raise the long-hair trimmer to read it) as "3.5 volts". Can't figure out how they came up wtih 1.2 x 2 ==3.5. Maybe 3.5 is the charging voltage?

@50plusdad-uk 8 ай бұрын

Both my series 3 and 5 don't list a voltage under the trimmer but the charger states the output is 12v so maybe you have 3 x 1.2v batteries 🤔

@cazephyr9426 8 ай бұрын

follow up I disassembled both shavers today, trying to make one good one out of the parts of both. Each one contains two AA-size NiMH cells as shown in the video. The bad ones measured a little over 1.2 volts each and the good ones measured around 1.44 volts each, not fully charged.

Qual chave voce usou para abrir os parafusos?

@50plusdad-uk 9 ай бұрын

I use a T9 torx drive for the screws, hope this helps. Eu uso uma unidade torx T9 para os parafusos, espero que ajude.

You can replace it with typical AA akkus too.

Pegs on the springs better to remove with tweezers rather than flat screwdriver, broke one of two tiny spring holders, but it works even with one fortunately
