Can a NIMH Charger be used with an Oral B brush?
Can I use my old charger from a toothbrush with a NiMH battery with my new brush with a Li-Ion battery?

They can still use the same charger.
Which is better NiMH or lithium ion toothbrushes?
Rechargeable batteries in electric toothbrushes these days are either NiMH or Lithium-ion cells. What are the differences? Is one better than the other? This question is important because nearly all powered toothbrushes have build-in batteries, you are not supposed to change.
Can you replace NiMH batteries with Li ion?
I have a rechargeable vacuum cleaner with NiMH batteries, 1800mAh and 14.4 volts, 12 cells. The charger is 18v 200mA. The batteries have now died. Can I replace the batteries with 4 cell Li-ion in series? That will be 14.4 volts, if considered 3.7v each. Of course, I know it will be roughly 4 volts when fully charged.
Can a LiIon cell be used as a NiMH cell?
If tthey are AA NimH cells they are probably not operated at more than 5-10A. If sub C’s – maybe more than 10A. I am using LiIon cells from faulty Dyson vacuum cleaner battery packs to repower an old Electrolux dustbuster – so in my case discharge current is OKish. A LiIon cell MUST NOT be floated at its full charge voltage of 4.2V.
