Tip: To optimise the battery capacity, fully charge the
shaver and then use it normally until the battery is
completely empty. Repeat this process three times in a
row. If you optimise the battery capacity in this way, you
can also charge the shaver in between shaves, even if
the battery is not completely empty yet.
A fully charged shaver provides up to 17 cordless
shaves.
If you have a heavy beard, the shaver may provide
less than 17 cordless shaves. The shaving time may
also vary over time, depending on your shaving
behaviour, cleaning habits and beard type.
