Removing the rechargeable battery
Before removing the battery, make sure that the
battery is completely empty.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a towel
or cloth, a hammer and a flat-head (standard)
screwdriver.
1
To deplete the rechargeable battery of any charge,
remove the handle from the charger, turn on the
Philips Sonicare and let it run until it stops. Repeat
this step until you can no longer turn on the Philips
Sonicare.
2
Remove and discard the brush head. Cover the
entire handle with a towel or cloth.
3
Hold the top of the handle with one hand and
strike the handle housing 0.5 inch above the
bottom end. Strike firmly with a hammer on all 4
sides to eject the end cap.
Note: You may have to hit on the end several times
to break the internal snap connections.

Remove the end cap from the toothbrush handle.
If the end cap does not release easily from the
housing, repeat step 3 until the end cap is
released.

Holding the handle upside down, press the shaft
down on a hard surface. If the internal components
do not easily release from the housing, repeat step
