Brian, Braun toothbrushes use wireless, high-frequency inductive charging.

We upgraded from an older NiMH toothbrush to a new Li-ion one and the
existing wall-mounted charger/head holder worked fine.


About 20-50kHz


Not sure I'd call it wireless. Just a loosely coupled transformer. Small
because it's not 50Hz. :-)

"...also known as wireless charging... ... electric toothbrushes ..."

Feel free to edit the article if it's wrong.
