Removing the rechargeable battery
Warning: Only remove the rechargeable battery when

completely empty when you remove it.
To remove the rechargeable battery, you need a towel or
cloth, a hammer and a flat-head (standard) screwdriver.
Observe basic safety precautions when you follow the
procedure outlined below. Be sure to protect your eyes,
hands, fingers, and the surface on which you work.
1To 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.
2Remove and discard the brush head. Cover the entire
handle with a towel or cloth (Fig. ).
3Hold 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 (Fig. ).
Note: You may have to hit on the end several times to
break the internal snap connections.
4Remove 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 (Fig. ).
