A personal care system includes an electrical shaver and a cleaning device for cleaning a shaving head. The cleaning device further includes a displacing system for displacing its supporting member relative to a cleaning fluid container from a first position in which the shaving head, when the shaver is supported by the supporting member, is not in contact with the cleaning liquid in the container, to a second position in which the shaving head is at least partially immersed in the cleaning liquid in the container. The cleaning device does not need any pump for displacing the cleaning liquid. Rather, activation of the shaving head that causes, e.g., rotation of a cutting unit, provides a sufficient pumping effect for the cleaning liquid when the shaving head is immersed in the cleaning liquid.

A battery-powered apparatus is provided having a battery (B ), detection means (IC ) for detecting a discharge condition of the battery, and signaling means (D) for indicating the discharge condition of the battery, as well as discharge means (R T ) which are activated by the detection means when a predetermined first discharge condition of the battery is reached, in order to discharge the battery in a controlled manner until a predetermined second discharge condition of the battery has been reached.
