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 :]
@@TheBigNicko good luck Make sure you buy a good pair of batteries, maybe warta , Duracell or whatever famous brand with good reviews. 3 years passed now and my shaver started behaving weirdly. Even when fully charged it won't start and the orange light will start blinking when trying to press power on . I need to put it back to the charging base for 5 minutes (it will stay on constant green anyway as it's fully charged) and then take it out and immediately switch it on. It will then work all the time for a long time , but I can't turn it off mid way because it will not switch back on again. So must be to do with the batteries
Another update. It looks like electronics failed completely. Didn't even want to work with new batteries. Rather than just binning the shaver I connected the batteries directly to the engine lol It's working now for what I need it for ua-cam.com/video/rDpwwHewc8g/v-deo.htmlsi=v4Hgz6LluIvrNtP5
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.
@@JuvenalMena I made it myself with a spot welder. You can maybe buy 2 AAA batteries with soldering tabs? And solder it by yourself. (if you don't have a spot welder)
You can't?: 1) use a screw driver? 2) use a lever? 3) Solder? How to become a man: If you do not possess these skills and think that you should buy a new one, then this is the perfect project to learn with and at least attempt to acquire these skills. Buy a new one when you fail and try again later.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Vielen Dank für dein tolles Feedback! 😊 Es freut mich sehr zu hören, dass der Akku-Wechsel so gut geklappt hat und dein Gerät wieder einwandfrei funktioniert. 💪 Danke auch für den Hinweis mit dem Schlitzschraubendreher - das ist sicher für viele andere Zuschauer ein hilfreicher Tipp! 👍 Wenn du noch Fragen hast, stehe ich gerne zur Verfügung. Viel Spaß weiterhin mit deinem Philips Bodygroom! ✨
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.
Have you made it work both sides of the trimmer? in the video only it worked 1 :S Thank you. What type of batteries can use this trimmer? 1.2v 900mah? 2.4v 700mah? 3.4v 3400? Thank you
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.
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.
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)
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.
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!!
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€
Hallo @filippf12, danke für deinen Kommentar zu unserem Akku-Wechsel-Video für den Philips Bodygroom Series 7000 TT2040. Ich verstehe total, dass du dir Gedanken machst, ob sich der Aufwand und die Kosten lohnen, vor allem wenn es um ein ähnliches Modell wie den BG2024/15 geht, der ja neu nur 35€ kostet. Aber hey, lass uns mal ein paar andere Aspekte anschauen: Erstens, es ist super umweltfreundlich, ein altes Gerät zu reparieren statt ein neues zu kaufen. Damit reduzierst du Elektroschrott und schonst Ressourcen. Außerdem kennst du dein altes Gerät schon und magst vielleicht bestimmte Features, die ein neues nicht hat. Und dann ist da noch der Spaßfaktor! Viele Leute finden richtig Freude daran, Dinge selbst zu reparieren. Es ist ein bisschen wie ein Puzzle oder Klemmbausteine, aber am Ende hast du was Praktisches, das du jeden Tag nutzen kannst. Es ist super befriedigend, selbst was zu reparieren, und eine coole Möglichkeit, neue Skills zu lernen. Für einige ist das sogar entspannender und lohnender als andere Hobbys. Am Ende liegt die Entscheidung natürlich bei dir: Austauschen oder neu kaufen. Aber wenn du Spaß am Basteln und Tüfteln hast, könnte der Akku-Wechsel ein echt cooles Projekt für dich sein. Falls du noch Fragen hast, schreib uns einfach! Energiereiche Grüße vom akku-wechsel.de Team

@@AkkuWechsel OK thanks but someone in the comments mentioned something about using super glue instead but if there's electrical connection it shouldn't work
@@riniks112 On Amazon someone posted a review that they did not need to solder. It fit perfectly in because it is very tight. I also read the second review on here where they used super glue and tape with no need to solder.
I just did this repair and used Eneloop AAAs. It was a really tight fit but I managed to get everything back together. I didn't even solder anything, just used hot glue and tape! It charges just fine.
Thank you for ur answer. It is just that I have them already, And where I live it is hard to me to get/buy those batteries your using. I would love to buy those but its a pain in the a++. Great video, very well made.
@@anonymousfigure37 Hi Sky, I know this is two years later, some are saying you have to solder, then I read your review and another on Amazon where soldering isn't required. I'm assuming the two extension terminals are pulled out of the casing so the battery terminals can fit in direct contact?
@@Mr-E. Hi! I wish I remembered the details... Rewatching this video I think it's like you assumed: I trimmed the two metal tabs off of the existing battery bundle (as opposed to desoldering the wires from the metal tabs as shown at 5:58). I probably folded each tab back on itself to create a sort of spring action, so that when the new AAAs were nestled into place there would be a lot of compression holding the AAAs snug. To connect the two new AAAs to each other (on the end opposite to the wires/tabs), I probably ripped off the metal tab jumper on the existing battery bundle and taped/glued that to the new batteries. Or maybe I created a jumper using a coil of bare copper wire or something I had on hand. All I really remember was using a strategic amount of electrical tape stretched taut to hold everything in place. It's a tight fit so I wasn't worried about poor electrical contact or anything. It's been over two years so I guess I was right! I still use the shaver weekly without any problem.
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.
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
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.
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!!
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.
@@gemmamoreno2065 Hola, pues es exactamente la del video: AAA de NiMH, 1.2V y 700 mAh. Ahora bien, después de apena 1 año la carga de las baterías ha disminuido considerablemente. La única ventajas de comprar este pack es que por los extremos son planas y ya vienen unidas por lo que son ideales para encajarlas en el espacio tan justo que hay. Si no fuera por eso, te diría que compres cualquier otra pila del mercado con más capacidad y seguramente bon más calidad, pero vas a tener que unirlas tu y si son pilas convencionales (con el pitorro en el polo positivo) no te va a resultar fácil encajarlas dentro de la máquina.

Hi from Germany! Thank you for your comment. We're glad you found our video helpful. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Best regards!
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 😡

Very helpful video and replacement battery. Thanks
The hardest part is to put the blacktop following battery placement. Really hard
impossible thing
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
What’s funny is that what your doing isn’t much better. I get your point but disposing your unit still adds to landfill.
Batteries can be recycled.
Thanks!
Danke..Super..
Thanks
grazie ottimo video
i saved $90x2 devices using this vdo, awesome
Thank you! Added a battery with a bit more mAh to get the job done!

Did you get answer for this?
excellent video! thank you
Thank you so much. This video helped me a lot.
Have you made it work both sides of the trimmer? in the video only it worked 1 :S Thank you.
@@KNGTTO yea both sides are working same as before.
@@hassanal-saleh9800 What type of batteries can use this trimmer? 1.2v 900mah? 2.4v 700mah? 3.4v 18650? You can use 3.4v ones? Thank you

@@MrNutty39 thank you so much for this. Didn't know that. Cheers.
I want to make the 2.4V battery pack by assembling 2 normal 1.2V AAA batteries. It's possible?
thank you man, that really helped me out👍🏻
That helped a lot, Thanks !

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

What kind of battery did you use?
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
¿Please can this battery be used in the Philips Bodygroom tt2039/32? Thanks
Jorge Rueda Yes it will work perfectly
@@Adam_Al-DawoudiThanks a lot! So time for me to repair it! ^_^

Do I really need to use a solder? Is there a way to do it without one?
You need a solder.
@@AkkuWechsel OK thanks but someone in the comments mentioned something about using super glue instead but if there's electrical connection it shouldn't work
@@riniks112 On Amazon someone posted a review that they did not need to solder. It fit perfectly in because it is very tight. I also read the second review on here where they used super glue and tape with no need to solder.
@@Mr-E. OK thanks!
Can I use Eneloop AAA batteries?
I just did this repair and used Eneloop AAAs. It was a really tight fit but I managed to get everything back together. I didn't even solder anything, just used hot glue and tape! It charges just fine.
+Nestor C. our industry battery cells have a longer lifetime.
Thank you for ur answer. It is just that I have them already, And where I live it is hard to me to get/buy those batteries your using. I would love to buy those but its a pain in the a++. Great video, very well made.
@@anonymousfigure37 Hi Sky, I know this is two years later, some are saying you have to solder, then I read your review and another on Amazon where soldering isn't required. I'm assuming the two extension terminals are pulled out of the casing so the battery terminals can fit in direct contact?
@@Mr-E. Hi! I wish I remembered the details... Rewatching this video I think it's like you assumed: I trimmed the two metal tabs off of the existing battery bundle (as opposed to desoldering the wires from the metal tabs as shown at 5:58). I probably folded each tab back on itself to create a sort of spring action, so that when the new AAAs were nestled into place there would be a lot of compression holding the AAAs snug. To connect the two new AAAs to each other (on the end opposite to the wires/tabs), I probably ripped off the metal tab jumper on the existing battery bundle and taped/glued that to the new batteries. Or maybe I created a jumper using a coil of bare copper wire or something I had on hand.
All I really remember was using a strategic amount of electrical tape stretched taut to hold everything in place. It's a tight fit so I wasn't worried about poor electrical contact or anything. It's been over two years so I guess I was right! I still use the shaver weekly without any problem.
Li-ion battery can i use???
No!
@@AkkuWechsel why not?
@@rameradelabiblia It is dangerous! Please always only use the original battery type.
@@AkkuWechsel okm tahnyouuuu
Helped me a lot replacing mine. Thanks

@@KNGTTO Yeah both sides of the trimmer works just like when I bought it
What kind of battery did you use?
Thanks
I'll buy a new
Very good
Where can the batteries be purchased? Thanks.

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.
Do you send this batteries to poland? how much to Świnoujście
?
Yes we ship it to Poland for 4,76 EUR shipping cost.
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
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.
Yeah. It was designed to be never disassembled and to replace the batteries either. Just use and throw away. What a waste.
Donde se puede comprar esa batería 🔋 🪫

Amazing,
Since I am the one replacing the battery I decided it's cheaper less time consuming and easier to buy a new razor
idiot
Ya,,,,,, likr thats gonna go back together the way its suppose to
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!!
if i knew you had to do this i woulndt have bought it
Why its so difficult to change a battery wtf 😂😂 i have the same shaver
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.
Hola que tipo de pila es gracias
@@gemmamoreno2065 Hola, pues es exactamente la del video: AAA de NiMH, 1.2V y 700 mAh. Ahora bien, después de apena 1 año la carga de las baterías ha disminuido considerablemente. La única ventajas de comprar este pack es que por los extremos son planas y ya vienen unidas por lo que son ideales para encajarlas en el espacio tan justo que hay. Si no fuera por eso, te diría que compres cualquier otra pila del mercado con más capacidad y seguramente bon más calidad, pero vas a tener que unirlas tu y si son pilas convencionales (con el pitorro en el polo positivo) no te va a resultar fácil encajarlas dentro de la máquina.

Philips products are crap quality !😠
