Remington Cordless Razor & Electric Shaver Batteries

Keep Your Remington Running

Remington has been making electric shavers and grooming tools for decades, offering reliable options for both men and women across a wide range of price points. When the battery in a well-built shaver starts to wear out, replacing it is almost always the smarter move over buying new. A compatible replacement battery can restore the runtime you had when your Remington was fresh out of the box.

Understanding Remington's Model Series

Remington uses a letter-prefix naming system across their shaver lineup, which makes it easier to identify your model type once you know what to look for.

• F Series (e.g., F-4790, F-5790, F-7790) — Foil shavers designed for a close, smooth shave. These are among the most common Remington models needing battery replacement.
• R Series (e.g., R-4130, R-5150, R-9100, R-9500) — Rotary shavers built to handle varying hair lengths and contours.
• MS Series (e.g., MS-280, MS-5100, MS3-2000) — Microscreen shavers, a long-running Remington design known for compact, ergonomic builds.
• WDF Series (e.g., WDF-5000, WDF-7000) — Women's shavers and wet/dry models, several of which use the same battery platform as the men's lineup.
• XLR Series (e.g., XLR9600, XLR9800) — Older rotary-style models that also use standard replaceable NiCd cells.

Your model number is typically printed on the back or bottom of the shaver body. If you're having trouble finding it or aren't sure which battery your model uses, our team is glad to help — just reach out.

Battery Types Used in Remington Shavers

The vast majority of Remington electric shavers use either NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium) or NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries, typically configured as two AA-size cells connected in series for a combined 2.4 volts.

NiCd is the original chemistry found in many older Remington models. These cells are dependable and handle a high number of charge cycles well.

NiMH batteries offer more capacity at the same voltage and physical size. If your Remington originally came with a NiCd battery, a NiMH replacement is often a compatible and practical upgrade — many users find they get noticeably more shaving time per charge as a result.

When ordering, always confirm the voltage (typically 2.4V for a two-cell pack), capacity in mAh, and battery chemistry. These specs are printed on the label of the original battery inside your shaver.

Installation: What to Expect

In most Remington shavers, the battery is soldered directly to the circuit board rather than snapping in and out. Replacing it is a DIY-friendly project for anyone comfortable with a soldering iron, and there are model-specific guides available online that walk through the process step by step. If soldering isn't something you want to tackle, a local electronics repair shop is typically the easiest path to getting the job done.

Frequently Asked Questions

What battery does my Remington shaver use?

Most Remington shavers use a 2.4V NiCd or NiMH battery pack made up of two AA-size cells with solder tabs. The exact capacity varies by model, commonly ranging from 700mAh to 1300mAh or higher. Open your shaver and check the label on the existing battery to confirm the voltage, capacity, and chemistry before ordering a replacement.

Can I upgrade from NiCd to NiMH in my Remington?

In most cases, yes. NiMH cells operate at the same 1.2V nominal voltage as NiCd, so a two-cell NiMH pack is typically compatible with shavers that originally used NiCd. The main benefit is higher capacity — a NiMH battery with a higher mAh rating will generally deliver more shaving time per charge than the original NiCd. Just be sure the physical size and terminal configuration match.

How do I find the model number on my Remington shaver?

It's usually printed on a label on the back or underside of the shaver handle. For some models, it may also appear inside the foil frame or shaving head compartment. Remington model numbers typically start with a letter prefix — F, R, MS, WDF, or XLR — followed by a series of numbers. If you can share the model number with us, our team can point you to the right replacement battery.

Do Remington women's shavers use the same batteries as men's models?

Several Remington women's models — including some in the WDF series — use the same 2.4V NiCd or NiMH battery platform found in many men's shavers. That said, it's always worth confirming with the specific model number, as configurations can vary. When in doubt, contact us and we'll confirm compatibility.
