I purchased this razor about 2 months ago, and have only had to charge it a couple of times...the battery life is pretty amazing. It gives a close shave as well. Well worth the price.
i have used phillips (and norelco) for at least fourty five years now and have always relied on there performance and reliability. this product has always been superior to others i have tried over the years. i don't know what kind of battery these use but they run for at least a month before having to recharge.charging is quick and easy.
