How do I know my Oral B toothbrush is fully charged?

Why is my Braun electric toothbrush not charging?

There are two main causes for charging faults inside the toothbrush, either damaged components for example from being dropped or from water seeping inside, or a failed battery.

How does Braun toothbrush charger work?

Inductive charging, or wireless charging, uses an electromagnetic field in transmission of energy between two objects. The coil on the charging base gives energy and the second coil on the base of the toothbrush receives the energy. Once energy is received, it charges the batteries inside the electric toothbrush.

How long does it take to charge a Braun electric toothbrush?

Should you leave your electric toothbrush on the charger all the time?

Why won’t my electric toothbrush hold its charge?

Make sure you are not charging the toothbrush on a metal surface. The metal can interfere with the charging process. If they’re switched on while charging, they won’t charge correctly. The best thing to do is to put it on the charger for 30 minutes or so, and then try to switch it on.
