I tried to replace the batteries in my old Braun shaver (a pair of AA Ni-Cd) but the whole board was dipped in some kind of epoxy and I broke the board in half trying to get the batteries out. When I replaced the shaver I didn't get the chance to check that the new shaver had accessible batteries before I bought it. Kevin

It was indeed a pair of NiCd batteries. I am kind of like Mr. Borowski, I hate to throw something out that can be easily fixed. I am going to remove the batteries and continue to use the device as a mains-powered appliance. I have replaced the NiCad battery pair in my shaver a couple of times over the years. My Norelco uses two standard AA cells. It originally had solderable tab cells, but Radio Shack doesn't normally carry that style. But it's easy to solder on a jumper strap and create your own battery pack. This also gives you a good excuse to look inside the shaver; admit it, you really would like to do that!
