Braun Oral B electric toothbrush , 336 base marking
Anyone know if its 1.2V or 2.4V nicad. Easy enough getting inside, battery
looks like single cell as metal cladding continuous through the middle area but could it contain 2 cells , one of which is shorted. Sluggish motor -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |

Sluggish motor -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ Looks 1.2V , ps 2.4V and motor runs far too fast. looks as though it was a switch problem. Running 2 to 3 amps and start 3 to 5 amps. Switch is paired up , to take current, pair of 1mm wide prism point contacts, one being dirty. For same reason that powering the motor from 1.2V via a pair of croc-ended leads drops far too much power. It is surprisingly easy to remove the base "plug" 1/8 turn to get inside these and no wires to break so worth a bit of time to repair. Interesting , for those with mechanical bents, double crank and rubber mechanism creates the motion -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |
