Philishave battery type confirmation

I've got an older Philishave model 980 electric razor. The rechargeable batteries have finally decided they don't want to play any more but they have no external markings on their cases. The cct board says use only 4822 138 10334 replacement. After googling this I found a bunch of sites in languages I don't know. I think I am being shown the batteries are 1.2V 600mAh nickel cadmium (2 batteries so total voltage would be 2.4V). Am I reading these other sites correctly for the values and if so I should be able to use any nickel cadmium with specs like these shouldn't I? If I threw in a couple of 1.2V

1200mAh I would still be good for a longer held charge? TIA.

Cheers, Lawrence

Sounds right. Hook the motor up to 3 V and see if it runs OK.

Better not to use NiMh by mistake - some Philishave chargers use voltage drop sensing at full charge, which is less pronounced on NiMh so they overcharge and ruin.

Hi...

I have an older Philishave as well... model is HP 1337.

Just a heads up in case your's is similar. The batts look exactly like sub-c's, but are actually slightly smaller. Sub-c's won't fit, no matter how I tried.

I had to replace them with actual philishave parts.

Take care.

That part number is for a "BATTERY (PAIR) * HQ5865":

A service manual for the HQ5865 shaver is available here:

The drawing shows 2 x AA NiCd batteries. The text indicates a capacity of 600mAh.

From my reading of the service manual for the HQ5865, I think that your shaver's Time Control Module may become confused. AFAICT, the charging circuit charges at 1.2A for 30 minutes and then switches to slow charge. If your model is similar, then it may indicate a full charge when it is in fact only 50%.

Thanks for all the responses. I stopped in at the local Source store and picked up a package of two AA 1.2V 600mAh batteries with the solder tabs on them. Got them installed and everything appears to be fine in razorland again.

Cheers, Lawrence
