my philips beard trimmer is not holding a charge for very long ,?

if it is immeadiatly cutting out, after about a second, take off the blades and clean where the motor and blades join, should sort it

Each time that my Philips T162 beard trimmer appears to be run down I remove the adjustable head, unlink the blades and switch it on. I leave it like this for an hour to ensure that the battery is completely discharged. Now recharge the battery in the usual way and it should last much longer than previously. If this trick does not work than, as another reader suggests, buy a replacement battery if possible, or a new trimmer.

Try cleaning the blades - I found a similar problem but it wasn't the charge - the blades just weren't moving.

Sounds like the rechargeable battery is exhausted. Replace the battery if possible. Otherwise a new shaver could be the answer
