The batteries on my Spinbrush die after only one month of use. Is this normal?

Sure, it can be normal, some people will get more or less, depending on how long you use it and how much pressure you use, stressing the batteries. I recommend using Pre-charged Rechargeable NiMH AA Batteries, which I have a charger for. The charger doesn't cost much, and will pay for itself by not buying throwaway batteries. They are very reliable, hold a charge for just as long as new alkaline. Don't buy the nickel cadmium type, they're no good. I'm happy with my results.

I have had some go out fairly fast. I agree with Angie, buy best quality batteries and they last a long time. The Spinbrush tooth brush is awesome. :)

*mine lasted three months, I suggest to buy good batteries, and it also depends on how much you're using your toothbrush...

no its not. you must of had a set of bad batterys. I would put new alkaline batterys in and you should be ok. if this dont work you have a bad spinbrush. my spinbrush batterys lasted 3 months and I brush twice aday.

It depends...were the batteries alkaline batteries? Alkaline batteries (which I recommend) should last 3-4 months under normal use, brushing 2-3 times a day. If the batteries you used were not alkaline or lithium batteries, then having the batteries die after a month would be normal if you brush multiple times a day.

At least for the ones I have had there is no way to replace the battery... You have to buy a new one... It is a problem with the Rotadent which is sad. I love the toothbrush but it is an expensive love.

The pressure sensor on mine also got stuck. about three days ago. It turns on even without the brush tip on ! Is there a way to reset this ?

I do not know what your problem would be, as I have not replaced the batteries in mine since I bought it and that has been since April 26 of this year. I do not get on the scale every day though, if you are doing that, maybe that is why the batteries are being used up. Or it may be the type of batteries you are using. Check with Radio Shack to find out the best batteries you can get, or get the rechargeable batteries, it is expensive at first, but in the long run, it would be cheaper.

Keep in mind that the battery system for this tooth brush has a very defective design. The noted "Electric Toothbrush Advisor" publication did a review of this problem in 2014: http://bestelectrictoothbrushadvisor.com/rotadent-plus-2011-electric-toothbrush-review/We've been through a few sets of these brushes and they all have bad batteries that die in less than a year of usage as well as have problems randomly starting up. Unfortunately, the company (DenMat) has not fixed the problems and the customer service related to these prob;ems is very lacking. So, buyer beware ...

if its only a month old and the low battery light came then there's s problem. my batteries last about 18 months to 2 years. Are the batteries any good? sounds like the first set were bad and so were the second. The display will go blank after a while to save battery life. pressing a button will bring it back on.

I found batteries on Anazon de. Since I use it only to clean my balcony i use it seldom and i haven't worn out any parts yet.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. If anyone knows of another brand or reseller that might actually sell good quality batteries it would be a good idea to hear from them.

I've had my rotadent for about a year and haven't had to replace any batteries - i just keep it on charge all the time. When it no longer works I'm getting a different brand as I'm not very happy with this one.

The batteries will have a longer life if you remove them when not in use. After a month of usage, I'm still using my original batteries.

No, not at all. All of the newer electric brushes made by this company have significant battery problems. they use very poor technology with defective design. What this means is that they don't last very long--the battery simply goes out. When you try to deal with the company you're basically out of luck. Before buying one of these expensive gadgets, do your research and read the reviews closely.

Mine stopped working after about 18 months. The issue was motor. The commutator worn out. Friend of mine was able to dissemble the motor and move brushes to fix it, but he doesn't think it would last for a long time. Curiously enough, brushes were not worn. So, it looks like motor has bad design.A side note, the original batteries were not good and died in a few months. I replaced them long time ago.

My batteries tend to die from sitting in between uses more than while using. I buy mine. From the dollar store to save money.

I really y don't know. You might try looking on the packaging of both the Spinbrush and the recharge battery. You might also consider looking online if Spinbrush has a site of its own. Good luck.

Mine lasted for three weeks and then quit. But it wasn't the batteries themselves as I tried new ones and it still didn't work. Now I just use it as a travel case for my toothbrush. I like the size. It's easy to find when I need it.

I have had one long enough to use all the ink I would keep an eye on the batteries. If your stylus starts feeling warm, take the batteries out and examine them and test them. I had an extra set of batteries in my desk and they separated and left battery residue in my desk. When I contacted the maker they sent me 2 new stylist without any questions. One stylist burned a hole in my shirt. Still, they are the best stylist on the market. I don't know if I answered your question.

We still have not had to replace batteries yet. My wife played with just 4 cubes until we got a replacement for the cube that came out of the box with a dead battery. We got a replacement for the dead battery around 1 Jan, and she has been playing with all 5 cubes since. We are still using the original batteries, but I have no clue how many actual hours of playing time.Has anybody tried the inexpensive batteries that are available on Amazon yet? (See 4 Jan post above.)ww
