Invertor for charging Braun Electric toothbrush

[Charlie9038]

Hi,
Might seem a strange question but has anyone managed to charge a Braun Electric toothbrush using an 12v invertor when not on hook up/wild camping.
I tried it on mine and it took the Braun charger out, must have a built in fuse that doesn't like the sine wave?
Before I think about spending out on an expensive new invertor thought I would put it out there. Or buy a new manual toothbrush for wilding!

You will find that the inverter needs to be pure sine wave for inductive chargers

Brilliant cheaper than a new invertor

Hi. Ive burnt out a small 300w invertor.
It Used to charge my old toothbrush up fine. Then i decided to buy a new oral b genius and it killed it.
Dont want to risk my 1.8kw invertor in case i damage that.
Emailed oral b about using an inverter.
"This is not something they would recommend'
Wish i kept me old bloody toothbrush now!!

A properly designed pure sine wave inverter should not have any trouble, my victron effortlessly starts compressor fridges.

'Modified sine wave' one however are useless on anything IMO except for electric convector heaters and hair straighteners as the elements don't care what the waveform looks like. I've had 1000W modified sine inverters trip out trying to run 80W TVs.

Ordered, thanks for that much cheaper than a new invertor

Quite unthinkable, what next, you'll suggest a man could walk on the moon.
