2 pin shaver socket to 12v cigarette lighter adapter?

[Gus_T6_Bus]

Hi,

I'm wanting to charge my electric toothbrush and electric shaver from 12v van electrics - has anyone done this? They each have 2 pin shaver socket heads which at home I plug into a 2 pin to 3 pin mans adapter. So in my brain what I need is as an adapter exists which accepts a male 2 pin shaver plug, and converts that to a 12v cigarette lighter adapter.

So basically this on one side:



This on the other:



I can't find any such thing, but I'm thing I can't be the first to want this so does it mean what I'm asking for is fundamentally impossible for reasons I don't understand?

What's the voltage input on your devices? If its only accepting mains voltage input then you would need an inverter.

How long you going to be in the van , they normally hold a charge for many days use?

Have a search on the Forum for toothbrush charging. I tried one, it was too slow IMO but others thought it was OK.
A decent electric toothbrush will last at least 2 weeks.
Same with shavers really, I use a Wahl beard trimmer / hair clipper and it needs charging about every 3 weeks.

Good point - just checked and 240v so as you its an inverter needed. I just just assumed 12v without checking. As you say, they do last a good long time, I just know myself and was going to try and save myself the inevitable getting caught short!

Thanks for the help!

You could always revert to manual

I tend to agree, or just stop, best way to encourage social distancing I find.

Ah good shout - I hadn't considered via USB. I can imagine this might be pretty slow, but then again better than nothing!

depends on what USB socket you use some are regulated and even charge phones slowly like the ones in your dash board .

or get a E H U on a site and go main 240v power if your at summer camp you can borrow my manual tooth brush when your battery goes flat ha ha ha
