Aside from the 2 pin AUS power connector, the UK voltage is very similar and will have likely been supported by your charging stand. It is very detailed and legally correct description of why we have 2 pin plugs on electric toothbrushes. 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. I would say the hassle of rewiring a plug vs obtaining an adapter is less for many? Is it really safer? 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.

Buying more adapters will add to environmental problems caused by the prolifieration of waste electrical equipment.

But I also have 2 different ones that will not accept it, but they will accept the Euro-plug.(these are the large adaptors that can be used for multiple countries by extending different pin configurations out of the body

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.

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. 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. Your comments 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. 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. KS: there is ONE problem that you might face, and it does not matter if you have a shaver or a toothbrush.

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.
