The batteries inside your Sonicare cannot be replaced, but are easily
removed for recycling. At the end of product life and prior to disposal,
please remove the batteries from the handle by following the instructions

Please note that this process is NOT reversible.
To remove the batteries yourself, you will need a at-head (standard)
screwdriver and a small towel. Basic safety precautions should be observed
when following the procedure outlined below. Be sure to protect your
eyes, hands, ngers and the surface on which you are working.
1 Deplete the battery of any charge by removing the handle from the
charger, turning the Sonicare on and allowing it to run until it stops.
Repeat this step until the Sonicare will no longer operate.
2 Insert a screwdriver into one of the slots located near the top
portion of the handle, push the screwdriver blade into the handle as
far as it will go, and twist the blade. The housing will begin to split.
