Hi, I've got a Norelco 9160 XL that I've been using for about 15 years. The battery is not holding a charge very well. When I look at replacement batteries online, I keep finding links to lithium batteries. It seems to me that a 15 year old shaver is very unlikely to have come with a lithium battery, and I'm concerned that if I install a new lithium battery, it's will be damaged by charging with stock Norelco charger.

What are you all using to replace your battery? If using lithium, do you need a different charger?

Thanks!
 
According to AI, the 9160XL came with a lithium battery. I am surprised that your original battery lasted as long as it did. You could always open up your shaver and get the part number off the battery.
