What's the difference between this model and the preceding Fusion5 razor -- other than the yellow vs orange color?

There are five FUSION5/POWERGLIDE razor handles -- this POWERGLIDE handle has vibration and side-to-side movement. There are also five Gillette interchangeable razor cartridges that fit this handle. The yellow cartridge has extra "lubrication" which includes mineral oil that either stays on your face or has to be washed off. The orange blade cartridge is cheaper and has less lubricant oil, but it has a useful grooved orange shelf before the blades that smooths and stretches the skin for a closer shave. If you like the extra lubrication, this yellow Shield cartridge is a perfect match for the handle. However, I prefer to use this handle with the orange FUSION5 blade cartridge because it shaves well, has less goo, and is the cheapest combination for a great shave. See my review. I hope this answer was helpful.

What is the battery for it sounds the same as my non battery one i have it takes the same blade refillls somwhat does battery do?

It's powered by one AAA battery. This Gillette Fusion5 ProShield Power razor sends soothing micropulses that help the razor blades move effortlessly so that you’ll barely feel them. This Gillette Fusion5 ProShield Power razor can be used with any Fusion blade refills. (Side Note: One razor blade refill equals up to one month of shaves.). There is another type, the Gillette Fusion5 ProGlide Power razor, which is basically 99.99% the same as this Gillette Fusion5 ProShield Power razor. The only difference is the color of the razor, and the default razor blades that it comes with the first time you buy the razor, however the razor can be used with any Fusion blade refills as well. Any Fusion5 razor blades can be used with any Fusion5 razors, and vice-versa. In fact, when my ProShield blades that came with this razor finish, I am going to buy the same ProShield razor blades, but the Chill ones (the blue ones), since they offer the same exact shave feel, but with an extra Chill feel, which features cooling technology for a refreshing sensation during the shave. So for me, this Gillette Fusion5 ProShield Power razor with the Gillette Fusion5 ProShield Chill razor blades is the perfect match. If you'd like more in-depth information regarding the different types of razors and razor blades mentioned, you may visit the official Gillette website.

Does this razor ship with a battery?

Gillette includes a battery with every power razor.

Does this include the stand for the razor and blades in it?

This package contains a small stand that the razor handle clips into when not in use. It isn't fancy but it lets the blades dry after you rinse them off and it keeps anything from bumping the blades. If you knock into the blades or wipe them, they can gouge your skin. OUCH. I hope I answered your question.
