Review on HQRP 42mm Long Battery for Braun 5000, 3745, 3761, 3762, 5000 Toothbrush Repair – 2000mAh Professional Care Triumph Sanyo 346 Sanyo346+ by Everett Underberg

I saw a drawing of a man pushing a large boulder. The inscription below says that even if it's free, sometimes it's not worth it. That's how I feel about this battery. It wasn't free, but it wasn't worth getting at any price. I installed it in my toothbrush and let it charge for 24 hours until it was fully charged. It will not complete a cycle. It shut down and the red "no power" indicator came on. I let it load overnight, same thing. I thought I might have done something wrong so I took it out and replaced it with my original battery. This one is charged and I was able to get a few cycles. I thought to give the new battery another chance, put it back in and the same thing happened. Less than one cycle. In the end I decided to spend the extra money and buy the original battery. Charged and works great. It would have saved me a lot of time and frustration if I had done that in the first place. You might get a battery that works great the first time, apparently some people have it. I just don't think saving a few bucks is worth the risk.
