Excellent video tutorial. I used batteries with tabs. The tabs were too wide but I just cut them smaller with scissors to fit the slot. The blue lens at the bottom indicating charging fell off on 1 of the 3 shavers I was working on and it won't stay in place now. It's not a big deal. I'll at some point glue that into place.

Hi Simon, Do you have instructions on re-assembling the front blade/power button? Cheers

[@PowerOn-]

No, sorry but from memory there are not many parts involved and a spring and detents provide the snap action between the 3 settings

Should mention a soldering iron is needed! I was on holiday when mine packed and the funny thing is I always forget the soldering iron! Tried it when I got home and yes working so thanks,

Good work Frank - a soldering iron is definitively a 'must have' tool for this and many other of my projects!

I have a Braun 7680, very similar to the one in your video. I got everything apart with no issues, but it appears that the battery board has some sort of clear coat that was "painted" over the top of the solder connections (and most everything else on the board) after it was assembled. Any idea whether it's possible to remove the coating without damaging anything?

[@PowerOn-]

Hi Matt, Its possible that the board has what is known as a "conformal coating". In this case the conformal coating will be to protect the pcb from moisture which is good as most shavers spend some time in bathrooms! It doesnt make things water proof but water/moisture resistant. To desolder I'd just scrape the clear coat off the battery cell terminals then resolder.

@@PowerOn- okay, I'll give it a try, thank you!

[@matte-303]

@@PowerOn- Just wanted to say thanks! I got the new batteries installed and I'm amazed at the results. I didn't realize how much the worn out batteries were affecting its performance. My shaver is close to 20 years old, but now it feels like new!

Can you please make a video how to change or repair the trimmer ?

[@ELEVOPR]

How much would this cost to do? I would rather have someone do it for me. Is that possible? Thanks for sharing :o)

[@PowerOn-]

The replacements cells with tabs already welded are about 10usd ea. Then you just need a friend with a soldering iron!

[@ELEVOPR]

@@PowerOn- Where Can i buy the cells at? Do you have a link?

Great!!!

painful, un nescessary details

Unnecessary for those who know best but then the tutorial wouldn't have the same purposes which is to show those who have limited knowledge or the abilities that you seem to have to do this battery replacement.
