If your batteries look like the ones pictured, these are the correct replacements. Each battery is 1.2V & 600mAH All shavers require soldering to install batteries. if you are not equipped to do this, contact us about our repair services.

Summary: Needs electronics savy
Comment: I would definitely discourage the average person from attempting a battery pack change at all. If you have a mechanical knack, some electronics experience and access to a tiny soldering pencil (3/32" 700 or 800 degree tip), it is doable. On my Norelco 6885XL, my steps were: 1) Let the shaver run to discharge the old battery pack. 2) Remove 2 screws holding the two halves together and take the two halves apart. 3) Use needle-nosed pliers to slightly bend each side of the spring clips inward, then up. 4) After you get the two spring clips off, use electronics side cutters to cut the leads of the bad battery pack about 3/16" above the plastic cradle and remove the bad battery pack. Do not attempt to de-solder the bad battery pack's leads from the printed circuit board. That takes a lot of expertise and special equipment and if you don't know what you're doing, you'll ruin the PC board. 5) Bend the leads of the new battery pack into a `V' shape so that when the new battery pack is in the cradle, the new leads are against the old leads in the PC board. 6) Solder the new leads to the old leads, re-install the spring clips, put the two halves of the shaver back together, and charge the new battery pack.

Summary: Why bother...
Comment: I had my 5603x for seven years and replaced the heads once. That worked out to about twelve bucks a year for a great shave! When the batteries finally gave out, I looked into replacing them too, but when I opened the shaver up and saw what would be involved, including the "time to do it", (isn't 'planned obsolescence' great!! )I figured buying a new one would be doing my part to help the economy anyway, so "why bother" with such a tedious task and risk damaging other parts in the process(and then what!?). It would have been just as easy for Norelco to make the shaver with "snap in" batteries (maybe easier!) but they need us to buy new ones for their bottom line!! Hopefully my new one will last as long and perform as well as this one did....RIP 5603x!! If you have the time and patience for such an endeavor, have at it!!

Summary: Works well but be advised ../.
Comment: My Norelco T990 was becoming unusable as one of the 2 batteries wouldn't hold a charge and became unusable even connected via the power cord. The new batteries are fine and my machine works like new hence they are a total success. However be warned, you must solder the new batteries and I had a devil of a time disassembling the shaver to get to the internals.

Summary: Not for the faint at heart
Comment: I got this for my 6885XL. It was down to maybe a 15 minute charge. To concur with others I read about this: it is not for somebody that does not already own their own solder gun.I cheated and cut the old battery leads, trimmed the new battery leads a little, and soldered the two together. It seemed much less damaging to the razor than a complete desolder. I've had two use cycles now and they are working great. Far cheaper than a new $80 one (if you can find the refurbs anymore).

Summary: Tricky to install
Comment: In order to install these you have to de-solder the old battery at the circuit board, then insert the tabs of the new battery into the slots on the circuit board and solder them in place. Easier said than done, especially if you don't have soldering experience. I highly recommend a solder removal bulb before you attempt this. I didn't have one and it took a while. Also be patient while doing this, a hot soldering iron is murder on plastic parts :) Having gone through this "ordeal" the new batteries don't feel as strong as the original, I may have shorted something during installation. Yeah, Do remember you're working with a hot battery (sparks)!!!
