The original NiMH batteries in my Panasonic shaver failed after only 6 months, and although they are very particular (AA with studs attached), it is now possible to replace them with standard AAs (was not true of earlier models). I swapped them out with Sanyo Eneloops which have the same capacity (2000 mAh) but are 50% heavier.

I have had similar low life issues in general with plain NiMH batteries, a problem solved by the eneloop series.

Thought this might be of interest to those with the same problem.

The new ones are possibly *really* 2000mAh :)

;-) A VERY good point.

If the 2nd generation eneloops can really sustain 1,500 discharges, the shaver may actually now have the long life I had originally hoped for it.
