...old Ni-Cad batteries?

I yanked these worn out rechargable batteries from my shaver. They were getting very hot and had a nasty burning plastic/chemical smell going on. Never a good sign.

...a Norelco electric shaver?

Well, after about 8 years of use. My Norelco rotary shaver finally up and died. It stopped taking a charge several years ago, so I had been using it with the AC cord. In a way i'm glad it finally bit the dust, as it could never shave as good as my previous Remington foil shaver. The Norelco just plain sucked when it came to shaving the neck and under the chin. I had to use a regular razor and shaving cream for the bits it missed. This sort of defeats the purpose of using an electric shaver in the first place...doesn't it?

The first and last rotary shaver i'll ever own.
