If those that are interested....replacing the battery cost more than the shaver is worth, especially if you have to replace the blades. Batteries tend to range from $15-20 and you have to disassemble the entire unit. They started to solder the battery in later models, but I think the early ones can still be replaced from what research I did with my old shavers.
Eventually I gave into consumerism and bought a replacement despite trying to be ecological and not make more waste...it didn't make sense to fix something when it was cheaper to buy a whole new device
Good luck!

Arc3 is best for precision, so if you sometimes keep a beard or mustache.
Arc4+ are best used for complete shaving and will be faster.
(Also for those that haven't used Panasonic razors, give it 30 days and it will blow away your braun / norelco. Also the blades last forever)
But if you have a really thick beard and shave every day…as long as you treat the foil and blades well and don't overclean every shave, you will get at least a year out of them.
If you have a thick beard then there is no comparison with the other brands. For example I love the Norelco OneBlade, but I don't get more than a week or two before it starts pulling.

My favorite razor remains an OLD three-blade version from Panasonic whose battery holds about a single shave these days. I could probably switch the blades, but perhaps it is time to let go (and not have too much fun trying to tear it down and replace the battery myself). Anyone have any notes on going from the three blade model to this larger four blade model? I have a small face so I'm worried this thing is going to be unwieldy and less usable for me.
Good luck!

I have the Arc5 now but had the Arc4 at one point and not sure I could tell the difference.
Good luck!
