battery capacity in the following way:

Fully charge the shaver and then use
it normally until the battery is completely

you can also charge the shaver in between
shaves, even if the battery is not completely
empty yet.
Quick charge
After the shaver has charged for 3 minutes, it
contains enough energy for one cordless shave.

Put the mains plug in the wall socket.
Note: Make sure the shaver is switched off.
