A replacement power supply for Braun shavers: 100 to 240 volts in, 12 volts and 0.4 amps out.

Those two output figures are the whole safety question on a charger, and the listing gives them. The second thing it gives is a list of about thirty Braun references by number rather than a vague “fits Braun”. The 3040S is on it, the older Series 3: not the Series 3+ 3040si reviewed on this site, which the list does not name.

And it states, in its own text, that this is not an original Braun product. That disclosure is worth more than it costs the seller: it is what tells you the compatibility list is theirs rather than the manufacturer’s, and it is why the only reliable check is the voltage printed on your own device.

What people ask about this

Is it safe to use a third-party charger?

The question to answer is arithmetic before it is anything else: the output must match what is printed on your device. This one states 12 V, 0.4 A, and lists the Braun models it is intended for. A supply of the wrong voltage is not a slow charge — it is a failure. Read what is printed on your own shaver before ordering, and if the number does not match, do not buy it.

Why does the seller say it is not original?

Because it is not, and saying so is the correct disclosure. It also tells you where to complain if it fails, and it is the reason this page treats the compatibility list as the seller's claim rather than Braun's.
