Thanks for the video, it was super helpful. I have replaced the battery successfully and my shaver is working like new now. From ebay I bought Lloytron AAA Rechargeable Batteries NiMH 900mAh which I used for replacement. Here is a couple of tips for those who are planning to replace the battery. I have to admit it wasn't as smooth as expected and in places it was painful. 1. At 2:00 you can see he is struggling to unscrew both screws , make sure you have a thin screwdriver for them , the access is not easy. 2. At 3:38 it was difficult to remove the cover as well as put it back in. I used flat end of a tea spoon to pry it up. Initially I was using screwdriver for that, but the plastic is not so strong and you might break it. 3. At 6:01 have a look at the positive cap of the battery. It is nearly flat the same as negative. This is importantant because the battery pack fits the shaver so tight up to a milimeter. I had a problem with the standard batteries I bought as the positive cap was longer and I had to file it up to the carbon, only then I could fit everything back inside. Thinking about it now you might want to find a replacement batteries with the positive cap being as flat as possible. You need to solder the wires to the batteries as in 7:31, the replacement pack has already negative and positive joined together with a thin piece of metal. I used thin wire to solder positive with negative, you need to be careful not to add too much solder or the pack won't fit back in. I also damaged the battery when soldering it, the temperature was too high and the battery got a hole ,started hissing and got really hot. Good it didn't explode. Had to purchase another and wait a couple of days. If you finally solder everything 10:43 is a moment of truth. When I did it first time I had to unsolder everything and redo it as it didn't fit. Had to use thinner wires and file the positives of batteries. It was f** frustrating. Second approach worked fine and I thought I am nearly there, when it comes to putting back the cap as you can see in 11:11. It was a real pain. As you can see he struggled with it as well and cut the video. You need to pull the side of the shaver to stretch it a bit for the cover to fit in. I used C shape piece of metal to pull it to the side and pressing the cap down at the same time. After that point it's easy to finish and you can enjoy your new shaver again :]

Exactly the video I needed. Thank you! I love the product, but wow, how they handled the battery in this thing is criminal.

While watching the video I went: 1) I can definitely do that, piece of cake! 2) I can also do that! 3) I can *probably* do that. 4) Well... maybe not that. 5) I can't do that. 6) WTF! I definitely *CAN'T* do that! 7) F*ck this, I better get a new one.

Excellent video - I made the replacement, and the Bodygroom is working perfectly once more. It's so gratifying to refurbish a perfectly operating device rather than sending it to the landfill, and having to pay big money for a new one. Shame on these companies for the built-in obsolescence. The most difficult aspect I found was replacing the black plastic panel over the power pack, the one that is secured with four screws. Possibly because the plastic had lost elasticity, it took a lot more force than shown in the video. The two inner edges of the panel fit inside the narrow gap between the shell and the circuit board, and I was nervous about applying so much force so close to the circuit board. In the end, I used a blunt knife the guide the panel into position on either side. I suggest doing a dry run without the power pack in place to understand how the piece fits. Also, the replacement battery sent by akku-wechsel had the L-shaped terminals soldered on upside down, but since they were longer than in the original, they could still be wrapped under the battery to complete the replacement procedure.

Super easy, kann ich nur jedem empfehlen, war in einer halben Stunde erledigt. Ich war auch positiv überrascht, wie einfach und spurenlos sich das Gerät öffnen lässt. Bis auf die Ladeelektronik super gemacht von Philips.

Das hat schnell und einfach funktioniert, danke! Der alte Akku hatte 750mah und der neue 900mah. Sollte dann auch länger halten, was ideal für etwas haarigere Personen ist. Einzig das Löten ware eine katastrophe.

Vielen Dank für dieses Video. Er ist großartig. Ich habe die Batterie ohne Probleme ausgetauscht. Die 4 Schrauben an der schwarzen Abdeckung lassen sich übrigens auch mit einem Schlitzschraubendreher lösen. Das Gerät funktioniert wieder wie am Schnürchen.

Thanks for video. Excellent! Easier than I thought and added another life to my groomer. Not to mention I kind of enjoy little projects like this when it is too cold to go outside. Came apart, and everything went back together without issue.

Unbelievable in this day and age and with all the environmental problems that they don’t allow for an easier battery replacement than this complicated soldering process....will get a new machine instead and throw my old one in the bin unfortunately

Bought the battery, all good now. One thing missing from new vs original battery was tiny holes to put wire thru before soldering. On second thought I should have punched some using a thin nail. Just soldered wire on top of battery flat part. Hopefully it'll withstand vibration and hold or I'll have to do it again. Bought this expensive trimmer more years ago than I can remember. Used it infrequently which might have contributed to battery dying. I'd run it a few minutes for a quick trim before needing to charge again. Now it's like new again. Massively grateful.

Gerade im Moment fertig geworden... läuft wieder. Vielen Dank fürs Video.

I just did this... with standard AAA rechargeable batteries very easy to do and you just have to tape the batteries together with some electrical tape or glue and solder the batteries together with the tab from the old battery. Then to the pack of the TT2040... For soldering i would suggest using some flux to allow for the solder to attach properly.

Відео стало у нагоді. Дякую за вашу працю.👍

Excellent video. Only 15 minutes to complete. Much easier to undertake than my Philips QS6160 that I replaced the batteries in a few weeks ago. Thanks! Now have two razors in perfect as new working order for around £26.

P-E-R-F-E-K-T , danke für dieses fantastisch einfache Turtorial. Angesehen, Batterie bestellt, unter nochmaligen anschauen parallel Akku eingebaut, FERTIG ……………. !

I used this article to repair my groomer. Thank you!

I didn’t buy your batteries but your instructions were great. Breathed new life into a solid body groomer

Uhm....you totally skipped the part where you put the cover back on the battery compartment. I bought the battery having watched the video and it wasn't until I was attempting to do it that I noticed the convenient cut-away when you went to do that step. All of a sudden, it's just on. Not helpful at all!!!!!! If anyone is trying to do this, insert a jewler's screwdriver near the space between the cover and the body near the wider end and push down ad your push the screwdriver back, along the opening. You have to do it on both sides and you have to get the lip up over the lip on the cover. Also, when putting the metal clip on the top, another part that is left out, insert both screws but leave them loose. As you tighten down, make sure the clip is secured at all 4 points where it meets the body of the shaver. Otherwise, it won't tighten down correctly.

11:10 Was a tricky to place. Thank you for the video and the battery that just arrived and installed it!

Just thought it was my Duty to drop a comment here. I can tell by the age spots on the mechanic's hands he's about my age. I've been in and out of the electronic's build / repair business for over 40 years. The only true secrete of the business was being a good detective, how did this break, why did it break and what component broke. There weren't very many of us back in the day, and as we found a failure we would many times pass it on to the other technicians in town. Including the manufacturer such as Zenith, Silvana, RCA, TV's VCR's Stereos, etc. I used to enjoy tracking down the actual event. Many times I could tell exactly what the customer did that caused the fault. It's part mechanics, part electronics and part detective work. Also, it takes very fine digital motor skills and a critical eye. I can tell you Norelco makes a fine product and these battery failures are a product of just leaving the stand plugged in indefinitely. No battery can take a forever charge. Good job on the video. My only correction was in the reassembly. You'll have an easier time of it if you put the battery pack and electronics in the shield cover and install it back into the shaver as a unit.

Thanks for making this video! I managed to replace the battery.

Is it still waterproof after replacement?

I have purshased your battery for replacement and it's work well. THANK YOU !

The hardest part is to put the blacktop following battery placement. Really hard

Would this batteries work for the Philips BodyGroom TT2039/32? It's pretty similar to this model but with 8h charge, I think.

Worked perfect! Thank you for posting!

im sorry - but this is absolutely bonkers! Philips are a complete set of **** for making this battery replacement so complicated. I will be on the phone to them tomorrow. crazy. great vid though

Hi from India, Thanks.

Thank you

To make life simpler. Clip the old tabs expose wire. Care full doing so razor is best method run a median wire from new battery tabs to the wire supply to battery casing

Good morning. I ordered the battery via the link in the description. I couldn't put back the two small insulators supplied with the battery, I put insulating tape. When I placed the black case, the battery started to heat up and became hot. I assume the battery is dead and maybe the circuit board. What do you think ? Thanks for your help. (Google translation)

Thank you! Added a battery with a bit more mAh to get the job done!

ممنون عالی بود خیلی کمکم کرد

Very helpful video and replacement battery. Thanks

i saved $90x2 devices using this vdo, awesome

Merci !

Since I am the one replacing the battery I decided it's cheaper less time consuming and easier to buy a new razor

Dopo aver cambiato la batteria sotto carica lampeggia verde dopo un ora sotto carica resta la luce arancione sempre sotto carica dove ho sbagliato?

Completed in 15 mins. Cheers

grazie ottimo video

One of the best examples of planned obsolescence! Make it as hard and expensive to replace a simple battery so people buy a new one 😡

Thanks

Thanks!

Danke..Super..

really great video. I finished the whole repair in the time it took to watch the video!

excellent video! thank you

They in the video skippede fast over the hardest part. Putting the button thing on again. Had to cut some plastic from the sides to get it on. Did not feel like it was designed to ever be put together again lol.

That helped a lot, Thanks !

Thank you so much. This video helped me a lot.

thank you man, that really helped me out👍🏻

can I take the old solder tab off the battery and solder it to the new battery? Mine looks to be in great shape! I was going to solder it on to a pair of Energizers that are 850mh 1.2 volt.

Hi, I have a BG2040, it looks exactly like your TT2040. Is it the same shaver or at least does it use the same battery?

Lohnt sich es diese ganze arbeit und und noch die Battery kosten da zu? Wenn man sie erst findet im Handel. Den meine maschiene is die BG2024/15 und kostet neu 35€

It seems to work, awesome! :-) The only difference is that during charging, the green led doesn't seem to stop flashing (or it really takes a very long time until it's fully charged). Do you have any idea how long a full charge should take? Or is this a known issue maybe? Thanks!!

Ya,,,,,, likr thats gonna go back together the way its suppose to

Thanks I'll buy a new

I want to make the 2.4V battery pack by assembling 2 normal 1.2V AAA batteries. It's possible?

Helped me a lot replacing mine. Thanks

the batteries need to be 2.4v 700mah? or 1.2v 900mah? or 3.4 3400mah?thank you.

Very good

Do I really need to use a solder? Is there a way to do it without one?

Why its so difficult to change a battery wtf 😂😂 i have the same shaver

Did the battery change with theses batteries: www.batterijenhuis.nl/oplaadbare-batterijen/aaa-oplaadbaar/ansmann-aaa-800mah-lsd-met-soldeerlippen Glued the batteries together with hot-glue (ony the top side, or else the batteries won't fit in the casing) and soldered them together, using the original piece of metal from the broken battery pack. It is difficult to use so little solder that it still fits in the casing, but I got it in. Works like a charm! Tnx for the video!!

Can I use Eneloop AAA batteries?

¿Please can this battery be used in the Philips Bodygroom tt2039/32? Thanks

Amazing,

Li-ion battery can i use???

Cojonudo, lo he hecho todo igual y funciona perfecto. En el minuto 11:11 las he pasado putas para encajar la tapa de la botonera, hay que hacer palanca con un cuchillo o similar en el lateral de la máquina para poder encajar esa tapa hacia abajo. Las pilas las he pillado en la misma web y van bien.

if i knew you had to do this i woulndt have bought it

Do you send this batteries to poland? how much to Świnoujście ?

Where can the batteries be purchased? Thanks.

such music

Philips products are crap quality !😠

Next weekend project. Three day that is. 😂
