This particular shaver is a piece of cake. The case holds all the electronics in place so they just come right out. I just want the motor to stay in place which is the only thing mounted. I'd like to have been able to use the existing power switch but it would be easier to just add one later.

I also checked and the battery is 2.4V -- 2 1.2V rechargeable cells. The capacity is rated at 600mAH, so by using some meager 1,800 mAH AA batteries, I can triple the run-time ... as if that was ever an issue.
