Article Text Block - Can I use my Oral-B electric toothbrush charger abroad? - Description-0

<p>A change of scenery every once in a while can be very refreshing but maintaining your oral care routine is just as crucial. Switching to a manual toothbrush while travelling can be unfavourable for some. So, the question of your Oral-B electric toothbrush charger working abroad can put you in a dilemma. All the Oral-B <a href="/en-in/products/electric-toothbrushes">electric toothbrushes</a> come with region-specific battery chargers and thus, you would require a voltage converter or a plug adapter to use it overseas. Let’s understand if your electric toothbrush can be used abroad in some simple steps.</p>
<h2>How To Check If Your Electric Toothbrush Charger Can be Used Overseas?</h2>
<ul>
 <li>Check the voltage charge mentioned on the base of your Oral-B toothbrush charger</li>
 <li>Check the voltage of the region you are travelling to</li>
</ul>
<p>Refer to the table below to find out if you require a voltage converter:</p>
<table>
 <tbody>
  <tr>
   <th>Voltage Charge <br>(Printed on the base)</th>
   <th>Where Can It Be Used?</th>
   <th>Requirement of a Voltage converter</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td><strong>100 - 240V</strong> <br>Smart Plug with some Genius models</td>
   <td>Globally</td>
   <td>No</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td><strong>220 - 240V</strong> <br>Charging Stations including Genius</td>
   <td>In countries with 220 - 240 Volts</td>
   <td>Yes, if the voltage in the country is less than 220</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td><strong>110 Volts</strong> 60 cycles</td>
   <td>In countries with 110 Volts</td>
   <td>Yes, if the voltage in the country is higher than 110</td>
  </tr>
 </tbody>
</table>
<h2>What Is a Plug Adapter?</h2>
<p>A plug adapter enables you to plug in a dual-voltage appliance from one country into the wall outlet of another country. The adapter does not convert electricity and simply allows your three-pin mains plug to connect to the two-pin main socket. Thus, while on your travel abroad, plug adapters can come handy for using your chargers and electric appliances. You can get a plug adapter at an electronics shop.</p>
<h2>What Is a Voltage Converter?</h2>
<p>A voltage converter is a device that helps convert electric power and is used to change the electrical output of a power source. Hence, your electric appliance can be charged by using voltage converters that either step up or step down the power. You can easily purchase such a device at an electronics shop or travel stores.</p>
<h2>Are You Travelling Abroad for a Longer Period?</h2>
<p>If your Oral-B electric toothbrush charger has a voltage of 110v, you can purchase an Oral-B 220v charger for using your brush overseas, instead of purchasing a voltage converter. You can also get a plug adapter as the country you visit may have a different plug style. Ensure to research the plug style prior to your travel, so that your trip can go on without a hitch.</p>
