What is the difference between the Norelco model 6940 and the 6940LC, do they have a rechargable battery or just straight 120 volt

I am not a fan of rechargable tools I rely on. It is a plug in only. It will rip through a five day beard with no problem, with proper usage.It is a good deal.

I believe that one has a battery and the other does not. I prefer the one that uses just straight 120V because it is lighter weight than the battery one.

Kathy , I have the both models , thee re-chargeable is the best one for me and the one with the cord , I feel the cord is to short and don't feel right while I'm shaving , the cord is always in the way

I don't understand your question. Both the 7340 and 7310 come with a charger that is a switching wall wart style with a cord to plug into the bottom of the shaver.Both shavers can run powered by this charger even if the batteries were dead. So, you wake up and realize you forgot to charge your shaver and you can still use it to shave by powering it from the charger.

No, this model uses a rechargeable lithium battery and comes with a 120 VAc plug-in recharger for the included battery.

Rated for 1800 Charge Cycles. 750mAh minimum. 1.2 Volt single cell. Ni-MH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) construction. Low self discharge rate compared to most other rechargeables - holding 90% 1st year and 70% in 5th year. These don't go dead in storage like normal rechargeables so you can go ahead and keep spares hot and ready to go. Brands I was using where always dead or close to it if I precharged before need. These eliminate that terrible feature found in other rechargeables. These are just like having alkaline on hand, except you can recharge these 1800 times. I converted to the Eneloop rechargeables about 3 years ago, this is the 3rd generation. 1st generation rated for 1000 charge cycles, 2nd generation for 1500 charge cycles and this 3rd generation 1800 charge cycles. I couldn't say if this is true or not as I have not lost charging on any of my Eneloop batteries. Since you aren't going to be in the situation of needing to rapid charge one of these for immediate use, I recommend that you go with the gentler slow charging SANYO 4-Position Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery Charger which works with any of the generations of Eneloop AA or AAA batteries. Sanyo/Eneloop batteries are now coming on the market in the 4th generation which is rated for 2100 Charge cycles (part #BK-4MCC). In my opinion the current best value is the 3rd generation as I can not see any additional practical value in the 4th generation. I have converted every battery device in my home to the Eneloops (except safety devices (smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and like), which need alkaline).

According to the razor's manual the rechargeable battery is not replaceable and should only be removed for disposal. I've had other Norelco razors and the rechargeable batteries last for years.

I looked up both models on the norelco web sit and they didn't have either model listed. I suggest you call them, that's what. I did.

This model has a rechargeable battery built in. It also has a port for charging a usb device. It operates either by being plugged into electricity or if doesn't have that it goes to the rechargeable battery, and then it goes to D cell batteries. Not sure what the old model has.

Yes! It recharges within 30min. for me. Long Battery life too. Light will blink when it's fully charged. Best Norelco out there!

1.2v or 1.5v same AA battery... i was not impressed with this rechargeable battery, they don't fully recharge or last. i have thrown them all away. imo not worth the money.

I like the big 6v battery personally. They seem to last longer and are more convenient to carry than the D batteries. I haven't used a rechargeable but it is probably the best option. They also make a solar recharge unit that can be as well.

I googled battery replacement and it looks pretty detailed.i opted to find a good deal on a norelco replacement.actually found a new in box one for 20 on Craigslist . The cutters alone cost more than that.

The last Norelco that I had was purchased about 9 years ago and the battery was still ok. I bought a new Norelco because the blades were too dull ( not getting a close enough shave) and the cost of new blades was more than buying the new razor. I never had to consider a battery change.

I had the same question. Since no one here answered it yet, a web search came up with the following: "BC-5L lithium ion battery is included with the Grundig G2 Reporter (in this case it a 1050 mah capacity). As it goes with most rechargeable batteries, you need to TOTALLY cycle the pack 3 times to achieve full capacity. It takes about 4 to 4.5 hours to fully charge a dead pack." Those batteries are sold on Amazon. Hope this helps :)

It takes the little flat CR batteries that look like a quarter. I don't remember the detail number but it is in the instructions and unit. They seem to last forever.

The User's Guide for this product, and stamped on the item itself, are model numbers of alkalines, (Duracell MN1500 or MX1500; Energizer E91, etc). However, it does say "Use of a different battery may have a detrimental effect on the alarm operation." Thank you for calling my attention to this, because the rechargeables I use are NiMH. The item comes with batteries.

Mine barely worked on 110!!! Poor quality, went in the trash within 90 days..........big disappointment.....$25. Norelco so much better!!!

The product specification says "Automatic Worldwide Voltage". I have bought this one (Norelco 7140) for my father in China. I personally have used a similar Norelco in Shanghai - no problem for the 200V and plugs there.
