RickG16 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I have this trimmer: https://www.amazon.in/Philips-QT4000-Skin-Advanced-Trimmer/dp/B00GUBY0JA Which has so far been very reliable. So I am dismayed that it has stopped charging. I have tried with another, new charger, so I know it is nothing to do with the charger. Does anyone know what could have happened? Might the battery be the problem? would like to think that a local electrical guy could fix this, but would it probably need official parts from Philips?

lopburi3 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 It could be the battery and it might be replaceable locally but might not be worth the effort/cost. I had a power toothbrush fail and was able to obtain a battery that fit locally but was really not worth my effort and never worked well. That could be on me but such items are really not designed to be repaired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankruatsteve Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The product description gives: "1 Nonstandard Battery batteries required." Which might be a hint for finding replacement. If you can access the battery, easy to test with a voltmeter - which would tell you if the battery is the problem. I have a cheap cordless drill that I use for small jobs. After about 20 charges it just stops. Then it's time to buy a new cheap drill as the batteries are not available - on my 2nd one so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks... so do you think this means I might be able to get a generic (non Philips) battery put in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that means you might be screwed to find a replacement battery (like my drill - but that is Chinese). You might try contacting Philips. Or, post a photo and maybe someone will have a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruit Trader Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Possibly a standard Ni–MH battery. Some clues on the Tube... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=philips+qt4000+trimmer+battery+replacement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I rushed through some of the videos found with post #6 and it IS a plain simple 1.2 V NiMh rechargeable battery (AAA size). One video says it's a 750 mAh. Won't hurt if it has more capacity. If you know a local guy ask him to open and check. Edited July 3, 2019 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hesitate to ask with a new thread in the Samui forum. Maybe mod @PoorSucker can point to. Edited July 4, 2019 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the place I suspected might do it. Hoping I can get it fixed here and don't have to make the trip though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
