Share

To get the most out of your Oral-B electric toothbrush, it’s important to fully charge it before your first use. Be sure to follow the usage instructions that came with your handle to maximize run-time.  

*Applicable to all Oral-B handles except the Oral-B iO Series 7/8/9 which requires an average charge time of just 3 hours.

Depending, on the type of rechargeable electric toothbrush you have, it will take anywhere between 12 to 18 hours on average to fully charge your brush. If you have an Oral-B iO Series 7/8/9 brush, the full charge time is only about 3 hours! Be sure to follow the usage instructions that came with your handle to maximize run-time.  

Follow the tips below to ensure you get a full charge, every time: 

  • Charge your handle in full before using it for the first time 

  • Always use the appropriate charge or charging base when charging your handle  

  • Use the latest charger you have available to reduce charging time 

DOES MY ORAL-B RECHARGEABLE ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH COME WITH A CHARGE INDICATOR? 

Most Oral-B handles have a charging indicator to let you know its battery status or if a charge is needed. However—for optimal performance you can keep your Vitality brush always on the connected charger when not in use. To maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable battery, unplug the charging unit and fully discharge the handle with regular use at least every 6 months.   

For brushes in our Pro series, you will notice a battery charging and low battery status indicator directly on the handle. If you have a Genius or iO handle, you will notice a charging indicator as well as a battery status symbol. 

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY BRUSH IS FULLY CHARGED?  

Depending on the series, your Oral-B electric toothbrush may feature charging indicators and different battery symbols to inform you when your brush is charging, completed charging, and the status of your handle’s battery. 

WHAT IS THE CHARGE TIME FOR MY SPECIFIC ORAL-B RECHARGEABLE ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH AND HOW LONG DOES THE BATTERY LAST WHEN FULLY CHARGED?   

Depending on the type of rechargeable electric toothbrush you have, it will take anywhere between 12 to 18 hours on average to fully charge your brush. If you have an Oral-B iO Series 7/8/9 brush, the full charge time is only about 3 hours! Once fully charged, how long the battery lasts will vary depending on your use habits and the features on your toothbrush, but all models will last at least a week.

Be sure to fully charge your Oral-B rechargeable electric toothbrush to maximize battery life.
