Does the traveling toothbrush work on battery? I am planing to bring it with me to overseas.

Test the toothbrush works on a rechargeable battery. The base stand is the charger

I had the same problem. Bought 2 Vitality toothbrushes from 2 different Target stores and had the same problem. I am about ready to take back the second and try a Sonicare. According to the Braun U.K. Forums, the battery/charging unit is a real problem. Supposedly, if the toothbrush is left in the on position it won't charge. Problem is there is no on/off indicator. Horrible design decision.

The Sonicare are a re-chargeable toothbrush. A full charge last about 1 week assuming 3 brushings a day. This kit" comes with 2 handles and TWO chargers - they are small enough to pack any time your are travelling for an extended amount of time. It's always a good thing to take along a battery operated bac-up toothbrush; but I take my Sonicare everywhere. Have not tried outside of the U.S.

Yes. I did it for 6 months travelling (this charger is much more compact and plugs directly into the wall), battery seems fine.

The toothbrush is sealed so I don't see how you could replace the battery. You can replace the batteries on the timer / display. I own three different Oral-B models having bought the first one in 2009 and it still works fine without any battery replacement to the toothbrush. The timer / display batteries last for about six months; we use rechargeable batteries. Hope this helps...

It's battery, but don't let that fool you. The battery last a long time, and it is surprisingly powerful toothbrush. It does an excellent job. They last me about a year or so then time for a new one. I tried other brands but they didn't hold up as well, ate batteries, and ran weak. This is the one you want.

The description is incorrect. It is a rechargeable battery. My first toothbrush lasted close to 7 years. It is definitely worth the investment. Enjoy.

There is a charging base you plug in and then you put the toothbrush on to charge. It holds a charge for a long time. I didn't need batteries

We have been using Sonicare for many years. I bought the battery-powered toothbrush, since it's much more convenient. I have some brushheads from the maybe 10 year old rechargeable, and they fit, and work. I've not actually used them on a daily basis, but I did try one. I'm not surprised that Philips try to sell new brushes, and for all I know, the older style brushes don't work as well as the new style. Doesn't matter to me - usable or not - I love the new battery unit!

Yes, I bought it from Amazon.com and brought it back to Switzerland to use, where the mains voltage is 220V. I've used it in other parts of the world, too, with no problem whatsoever. In fact, one full charge can last me at least two months and I use it twice a day, 2 full mins each time. (Maybe I just got lucky and bought one with a battery that was made on the moon, not from this world... Lol!) And it's a GREAT product, by the way, clearly in a league of its own. Oral B has a lot of catching up to do!

It's a rechargable battery but I don't see any way to open the actual toothbrush to put in a new battery. My last toothbrush was the same - it lasted about 8 years and I repaced it when the charge wouldn't hold anymore.

I'm not sure how long a charge lasts. I do know that I've used by toothbrush without it's charger while on vacation (5 days) and it worked for that amount of time. No matter how long the charge lasts, however, the Dazzlepro is the BEST toothbrush I've ever had, including a Sonicare. Also, customer service is excellent.

This is a battery tooth brush. It does an excellent job and takes one AA battery which lasts a long time. I find a battery brush very useful when travelling. This is a battery toothbrush and takes one AA battery which lasts for a long time. This is an excellent toothbrush. Highly recommended and useful when travelling

Yes the battery is included. It takes 1 AA battery. And it was already in the toothbrush. No need to install 1 first. Hope that helps.

I agree with Gabriel Dibble...the battery is Ni-Mh. Like most electric toothbrushes, the WaterFlosser rechargeable is contained within the case that has no obvious "door" or cover that allows you access to replace the rechargeable battery after it will no longer hold a charge. This qualifies for "planned obsolescence".

As far as I can tell, there is no way to replace the battery, however, the toothbrush does stop charging when it is full so that it doesn't over-charge and ruin the battery.

Yes. The toothbrush holder plugs into an electrical outlet to keep the battery charged. You can leave the toothbrush in the holder to keep it charged. Or you can take it out of the holder but must put it back in the base when battery needs recharging.
