Why won't my Oral-B electric toothbrush hold a charge?

The typical time to fully charge your toothbrush’s battery will vary depending on the handle and charger combination you have.

Once your brush is fully charged, the battery-life should last between 5 and 14 days of brushing (when brushing twice a day, for 2 minutes each time). To ensure charging a full battery ,checking the user manual will help you. If this hasn’t been your experience, there are a few things you can try.

• For some toothbrushes you will need to charge the brush completely before use, when you plug it in, it can take up to 10 minutes before the charging light will start to flash.

• First thing to do is check that the power outlet you are using is working as it should. If it’s attached to a bathroom cabinet, for example, the light switch on the cabinet may need to be switched on to power the socket.

• Make sure you are not charging the toothbrush on a metal surface. The metal can interfere with the charging process.

• Be sure you’re charging for the full time noted time in the manual.
