Damn - bought a new one - only to find that it doesn't fit onto the old
charger that I have had screwed to the bathroom wall for over 10 years and
has been suited to every earlier replacement. The stupid new one is liable
to get pulled of the windowsill by the weight of the flex.

Cant see a reason for the re-design of the spigot.

You're lucky, cos few of my previous Braun toothbrushes were compatible
with older chargers.

I never did get the tuits to fix my charger anywhere permanent.

I got worried in case it slipped into the washbasin and cracked it. I now
have a redundant mounting clip on the wall and a charger slipping around on
the tiled windowsill. Bah! Progress.

Could be different batteries; I've just bought a new one, but it was a bit
pricier than the last one (battery failure after at least several years, so
no complaints; yes, I did try to change the battery but broke the charging
coil while doing it - sneaky buggers!)

But the new one (5000XL) is _much_ better than the old basic model, and
batteries have changed a lot, so I imagine the new battery might not be
compatible with the old charger

I have no bathroom socket so toothbrushes are charged elsewhere in this
abode.
