How frequently should i recharge my toothbrush?

[mattkime]

I have an oral-b fancy pants electric toothbrush. (i really recommend it. its much better than an ordinary toothbrush.) I just took it apart and put a new battery inside of it.

should i charge it after every use or should i run it all the way down?

it has a NiMH battery.

you could follow the directions in the owner's manual
one often assumes the manufacturer has the most accurate knowledge of the device

or every 52.019 hours


whichever feels right



this assumes it is used for oral care only

I have NiCad memory, so I run my batteries down until they're dead before I charge them.

Depends on the battery type.

NiCad.... always discharge completely before recharge.

NiMH or Lithium .... don't have memory so it doesn't really matter.

As often as you charge the Treo ?

I tried to go with your recommendation but none of my local drug stores carry the Oral-B Fancy Pants model.

Its an Oral-B Professional 5000 model.
