How long does it take for the tooth brush to get a full charge? It has been nearly 8 hours and my charge is only 2 bars

The one I rec'd did take a little longer on the first charge, but after that no issues.

I let it charge overnight. Now I only have to charge it every 10 to 15 days.

I've never timed it, but it seems to be only a couple of hours to go from dead to full charge. Keep in mind this device can be used while charging which will likely slow the charge down.

You don't need to charge it if all the bars are there. It comes fully charged when you buy it. As you use the toothbrush you can just keep it in the charger. You don't have to have it go all the way down before you charge it.

I brush for three minutes twice a day and the charge lasts at least two weeks.

It takes mine 8 to 10 hours for a complete recharge. I dont leave it on charge all the time. My last Battery lasted three years good for a lead acid battery.

Less then an hour. However, I never stood there to check for every 5 minutes to know exactly, but when I am checking back in an hour the charge is completed. I am actually very pleased with this. I got a second battery also that I am charging when the one in the camera is toward its end...

I guess that would depend on how many times a day you brush your teeth, right? IMHO, if one brushes morning and night for the full 2 minute time frame. The brush is to last 2 weeks. I periodically shut off the charger and run it just on the charge for 3-4 days and then charge it for a few days. The batteries that they use are NiMH, they don't have a memory, so you can charge and discharge at any time intervals you want, without harming the batteries.

depends on how discharged your battery is . most of my batteries were charged within 24 hours are less. sounds like you have a battery with a weak cell that will not let the battery come to a full charge '

Depends on what you're doing, it canrange from 2 hours to 4. It takes about 3hours for a complete charge.

Hard to determine. My wife and I use the same unit with different brushes three times a day. There has never been an instant where it wasn't fully charged. However we are in the habit of putting it back in the charger after each use. We have only taken it on an overnight trip once and it remained fully charged.

Not long, I have had the toothbrush several months now and I have gone well over a week without charging it. I can't say exactly how long, but if I let it die and put it on charge before sleep, it can fully charge by the time I wake up

It can take between one and a half to two hours to charge the battery if charged when about 15% of the charge remains. I usually do not let mine completely run out but based on the time it takes for 85% of the battery to charge, I would estimate two hours and twenty minutes to two and a half hours for a full charge.

Are you getting the message at the control panel that the battery is charging? I think my new battery took 2 or 3 days to fully charge. Give it another two days on your battery.

Actually, I noticed there are different models in the Series 5000 family... Mine is type/model 3757... Model 3757 requires 17-to-24 hours to achieve a full charge (first time.) to keep charge simply replace the handle on the charger between use, or, charging for 12 hours should return the battery to the fully charged status... I called into Oral-b Customer Service and spoke with a very polite and helpful representative with virtually no wait-time once I navigated the automated menu (requiring one numeric entry - E-Z!)

Not in the traditional way as in trying to change the battery on your flashlight. The charge should last you a week if you brush twice a day. If it's a rather old unit, perhaps it's time to get a new unit. If you just got it, then it's definitely defective.

Couple hours. But I just charge it when the bars get low and have never had to wait for it. I vacuum my house several times on 1 charge. I LOVE this vacuum. I've had it for about a year now.

It didn't take that long to charge my new battery. I would think a few hours would be good. Maybe you got a new battery that was bad?? Hope this helps...
