My Avalon Clipper Has Stopped Working ?

Signs that your Avalon Charger is not working:

Your Avalon charger does not significantly heat up when charging.
If your Avalon Battery is not hot at the end of the charge.
The green light on the battery does not flash at the end of the charge.

Signs that your Avalon Battery is faulty:

Battery charges ok: charger gets hot, battery gets hot and green light flashes.
But when you start clipping your clipper has low power and does not last long.

Still not sure what the problem is? Send your clipper to us for a clipper service and we will assess any problems and the cost to repair them.

Babyliss Pro Cordless Clipper Repair

Jane sent us her Babyliss Pro barbers clipper to repair. She had removed the blades for cleaning and could not get them to work again. We cleaned and repaired the clipper, sharpened the blades and offered Jane the option of fitting a new battery if required.

Cost
Clipper Service including a new battery cost £20.
Or use the Bayliss Pro Re Cell Service.
Clipper blade sharpening costs £5 additional.
Postage 1st signed £5.50.

The Babyliss Pro is a good quality barbers clipper and with a new battery fitted and sharp blades Jane’s clipper is working well. 👍

(Cordless clippers are often stored in a stand which keeps it constantly on charge. To extend the battery lifespan you can turn off the charging stand when you wont be using the clipper. For example a hairdresser can turn the power off at night and on days when they aren’t working.)

Faulty Andis ZRII Clipper

Amanda sent us her faulty ZR2 clipper which is not working after she dropped it.

Andis Pulse ZR and ZRII clipper are great clippers but the weak point is their battery.

The battery has a circuit board in it which when faulty will cut the power even when fully charged.

The battery can fail prematurely if the clipper is dropped, when the clipper is stored without charging, and also for no particular reason.

Cost to repair

Small clipper service – £20
Andis ZRII battery – £88
Andis drive lever – £5
Return post 1st signed – £5.50
Total – £118.50

Sorry Amanda the ZRII batteries are very expensive. We would recommend Heiniger Saphir as more reliable. 👍
