UK Electric Shaver Toothbrush Adaptor Plug - 2 Pin Plug To 3 Pin Plug Socket Converter Plug - Heavy Duty Razor Shaver Plug - Bathroom Shaver Plug Adaptor UK (WHITE 1 PACK)

Product Information

Why is replacing a shaver plug the most obvious answer for charging outside a bathroom? (genuine question). Whether the battery life is worse or not as a result of this approach, I can’t say for sure, but I would be surprised. What you may need though is a plug adapter. This is to convert the 2 pin adapter found on most charging stands in the UK and Europe to work with the power supply in the other country. To be honest, I would have done the same thing. Aside from the 2 pin AUS power connector, the UK voltage is very similar and will have likely been supported by your charging stand.

Ooh look, first post. Not a proper lurker any more. Had to happen sooner or later, I suppose. Top lurking! Buying more adapters will add to environmental problems caused by the prolifieration of waste electrical equipment. Many homes will however, have spare three pin plugs for reuse.Some electric toothbrushes have charging stands that will support 110-240V meaning you will not need the voltage converter. The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean is one example.

Please note: This information relates to the UK and Europe primarily, America and many other countries differ. If you're using a UK appliance abroad you can use a UK to EU plug adapter as most have the round pin spacing on them. I've never seen an EU to UK bathroom adapter. I really hope all of the above is helpful to you and has answered any questions you may have had about 2 pin plugs and adapters required for electric toothbrushes and similar products like shavers.KS: there is ONE problem that you might face, and it does not matter if you have a shaver or a toothbrush. Right now, aside from switching to a completely different brand of brush that can charge from the USB port in your van (Sonicare DiamondClean/DiamondClean Smart) you have no other option.

Strictly speaking, from an Oral-B perspective, there is no option for this at this time. So you cannot charge your current electric toothbrush from a USB port within your van.UK Consumer Protection legislation requires that most domestic electrical goods sold must be provided with fitted plugs to BS1363-1. [6] The exception is that shavers, electric toothbrushes and similar personal hygiene products may be supplied with a Europlug as an alternative to the BS4573 plug (see below). The 1 amp fuse is a lot shorter than my standard 3 amp and 5 amp fuses otherwise I would simply change the fuse and see if that worked. However, I have noticed that the shaver adapter I use for the Vitality doesn’t charge the other two. Through experiments, I have concluded that the shaver adapters sold now are 1 amp and this isn’t high enough for the Pro range of oral b toothbrushes. I have an ancient 2 amp adapter (belonging to my dad who is now 91) which does charge the Pro series toothbrushes. The staff in Boots are wrong too. The Genius 9000 is the model they are talking about here. It has a travel case, which has a USB port on it. However, this USB port is like a pass-through power port and does not accept the charge into the case itself. I would say the hassle of rewiring a plug vs obtaining an adapter is less for many? Is it really safer?

Most electric toothbrushes bought in the UK and Europe have charging stands that work on 220-240V. So to use them in the USA, you need a power converter to allow the charging stand to accept the 110V. Not an electrician in any sense of the word… just want my toothbrushes to charge and can’t find a “shaver” 2 pin to 3 pin adapter sold now which doesn’t have the extra short 1 amp fuse. Additionally, the design allows for a more compact and less bulky design of mobile phone chargers, than the BS 1363 form factor in the UK. For example, let’s say you live in the UK and are going to the USA and assuming you are going long enough that you need to charge your brush when there.a b c European Standard EN 50075: Flat non-wirable two-pole plugs, 2.5A 250V, with cord, for the connection of class II-equipment for household and similar purposes. CENELEC, Brussels, 1990. You are best powering or charging each device independently as and when you need it. For example, connect and charge your toothbrush, when that is done, connect and charge your shaver or other appliance.
