Re: Let battery go empty before reloading. Q: Why ?

Sep 18, 2008 1 Replies

Well,



I had 3 shaves I think... and euhm..



The thing is still working.



But the RED LED is always burning ?!



I think that's just stupid Philips design.



The manual doesn't explain what the RED LIGHT means, it's always on because I don't have power in the bathroom so I shave cordlessly.



The RED led probably means it doesn't have wall-socket-power.



I KNOW THAT. I DONT NEED A RED LED FOR THAT.



It would be more usefull if the RED led would indicate when the battery power is too low for a good shave ?!



So I always thought RED led means lower power... (and then I would go charge it up again ?!?) but I don't think it means that.



So that's bad.



It's spinning a little bit slower... but apperently it should be good enough for shaving.



I think it might last a long time.



Also during the loading I am not sure when it's fully loaded.



First the green light is on... and then it starts blinking or something...



Or was it other way around ? Oh well.



Blinking probably means it's fully charged ! ;)



Bye, Skybuck.

Well,

The maximum was about 4 or 5... can't remember if it was 4 or 5.

But the battery is to weak to get a good shave.

I did use trimmer all 4 times...

Kinda sucks, now I have to reload it again.

I got this shaving device for free though...

If I ever buy a new one I will sure pay attention to battery life ! ;)

Bye, Skybuck =D
