Let’s begin.
Wahl magic clip cordless not charging
There are several factors that can affect the charging of your Wahl cordless magic clip. Here are some of the most common ones and how to fix them:
Faulty power cord or plug
If you have the cordless version of this clipper, more than likely you’ll need to plug in your clipper in order to get them charging.
The power cord or plug is the power source and oftentimes, over the long use of having your clipper, they may be damaged or loose.
This can prevent the electricity from reaching your clipper and charging the battery. To fix this.
But before you attempt to fix this, you must make sure that the fault lies with the charger and not your battery(we’ll get to that later).
When you plug your cord into your magic clip make sure it’s plugged in as tight as possible into your clipper/ charging dock. In the duration in which you’ve had your clippers, they may have lost their sensitivity meaning more pressure is needed to form solid contact.
Also, give it a little wiggle/ adjust the cable slightly to see if you can get a quick jolt or charge.
If you do get charged at certain angles then the fault probably lies internally within your cable.
But it can also lie externally.
Check the power cord and plug for any signs of wear and tear, such as fraying, cracking, or bending.
If you find any damage, you need to replace the power cord or plug with a new one.
Try and straighten out any bends. Try to keep the power from the plug to your clipper as straight as possible and try different outlets.
If you still get little jolts of charge or you can see damage on your charger, you may need to grab a new charger as that’s the major bottleneck stopping your clippers from charging.

Also, make sure when you plug in your charger, it’s plugged in all of the way, often times the cable is loose hence why the charge skips or doesn’t charge at all.
Dirty or corroded contacts
The contacts are the metal parts on your clipper and charger that connect when you plug in your clipper.
If these contacts are dirty or corroded, they can interfere with the charging process and prevent your clipper from getting enough power.
To fix this, you need to clean the contacts with a soft cloth or a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
Gently wipe away any dirt, dust, or rust from the contacts until they are shiny and clean.
Be careful not to damage the contacts or get any alcohol inside your clipper or charger and make sure it’s dry before charging it.
Clean both the contact point on your charger as well as your clipper.
Then make sure all is dry, then place your clippers to charge and see if that gets them going.
This is the same logic that applies to the dock:
Make sure the contact point is clean, and make sure the adaptation cord is the right match for your dock.
If you give your clipper a wiggle and it charges at a certain angle, you may need to replace the (battery inside your dock) or look to get a new one
Overheated battery
To put it simply, the battery inside your clipper might have overheated, tired out, or simply blown.
This can cause the battery to lose its capacity and ability to hold a charge.
To fix this, first, let your clipper cool before placing it to charge. Also, avoid using your clipper for too long without taking breaks.
If your clipper feels hot to the touch, stop using it and let it cool down before ever placing it on charge.
If your clipper still doesn’t charge when you place it on charge after this then your battery may certainly need replacing.
The old or defective battery
The battery inside your Wahl cordless magic clip has a limited lifespan and will eventually lose its performance over time.
This can cause your clipper to run out of power faster and take longer to charge.
To fix this, you need to replace the battery with a new one. You can grab one from below:
To replace the battery, you need to open up your clipper by unscrewing the screws on the back of the case.
Then, you need to disconnect the old battery from the wires and connect the new one in its place.
Be careful not to damage any components inside your clipper or touch any exposed wires.
