I used to plug in my electric toothbrush overnight, thinking it needed like 8 hours or something crazy. But yesterday I randomly checked the manual (yeah, I know, who does that?) and turns out mine fully charges in just 2 hours. Tried it today, and boom, fully charged way quicker than I thought. Anyone else had a similar "aha" moment with their gadgets?
Haha, manuals are underrated—I had a similar moment with my phone charger. Always thought leaving it plugged in overnight was necessary, but turns out my phone hits 100% in just over an hour. Now I just charge it while making dinner or watching a show, saves me from worrying about battery health too. Anyone else notice their devices charging faster than expected once you actually pay attention?
I can totally relate to this. For ages I thought my electric toothbrush needed to charge overnight, but one day I accidentally unplugged it after maybe 30 minutes and it lasted nearly a week. Turns out, it charges fully in about an hour, too. Funny how we just assume these things without checking. Good on you for figuring it out—definitely saves some hassle and probably helps battery lifespan as well.
I've actually heard mixed things about shorter charging times. My dentist mentioned that some toothbrushes might show they're fully charged quickly, but giving them a bit longer occasionally can help maintain battery health over time... not sure if that's true, but food for thought.

That's interesting, and the dentist's point makes sense. With rechargeable batteries, it's usually about balancing convenience with battery health. I've noticed my kid's toothbrush seems to hold charge longer if we occasionally let it charge fully overnight instead of just quick top-ups.
