Bathrooms are deivided into designated zones, 0, 1, 2 and regulations cover what type of light, heater other appliances can or cannot be installed in the different zones. There is good reason behind the 2 pin adapter, I will now explain this and I promise I won’t get too technical. Why is replacing a shaver plug the most obvious answer for charging outside a bathroom? (genuine question). 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. 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.

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. 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. I would say the hassle of rewiring a plug vs obtaining an adapter is less for many? Is it really safer? Please note: This information relates to the UK and Europe primarily, America and many other countries differ. What did you think may well fail after a few days of use? The isolation transformer or the device plugged into it?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.

In the UK the mains electricity that you connect your appliances and gadgets into works on 240 volts. This is a high voltage and can cause serious injury and death if you were to touch a live electrical line. 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.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. KS: there is ONE problem that you might face, and it does not matter if you have a shaver or a toothbrush. Under most circumstances if you include water and electricity the effects of injury are much greater as water reduces the resistance the human body has to the electrical current. No, not quite. A 2 pin plug found on an electric toothbrush or shaver has pins that are closer together than a traditional 2 pin EU mains adapter.
