What battery type should I use? Do you happen to have the link to a site where I can buy it?

To find link to the store to buy the battery from please see text right under the video. Click the "down" button to see full text.

In the last step you could use a correctly sized spanner's U or O-Shape to push the cap in, insteap of using a thumb and a screw (@video 5minute 40seconds)

You are right - using spanner would simplify things. When making this video I deliberately tried to use as few tools as possible to make sure people would not have to run to a store to purchase additional tools. But then again, if someone owns a soldering iron and a star-shaped screwdriver, then he probably already owns some spanners... Thank you for the comment. Appreciate it!

The T6 is too big for my toothbrush.... gotta get a T5....

I followed the video, and it went like a dream.

Two comments: If you haven't got the torx screwdriver, use a 1mm hex key.

I soldered a fine insulated wire to each tag, folded the tags up, and just passed the wires through to the other side of the board - this was easier than trimming the tags, and there was plenty of room.

Thank you very much for this very clear explanation of how to replace the battery. I replaced mine last night in 30 minutes and the toothbrush works perfectly. I'm curious as to what software you used to create the video as I would like to create some similar how to videos of my own

[kwshilts]

Great info. I found if you a hammer and chisel to cut the tabs There is less chance of pulling the tab off of the battery. The other benefit is you get a more precise cut.

Thank you. My issue was not the rechargeable battery. The unit just stopped working for no reason. I took it apart and dried it, and it works fine now. Some liquid must have gotten inside. I followed your video to take the unit apart and put it back.

@RobinDaugherty Thanks for the info. The broken wire hasn't prevented me from using the brush so I figured that that the wire isn't too important. Good to know what it's used for.

@mauidudejuno The coil at the top is the pickup that detects which brush head that is installed. When I opened mine I found one of the leads broken as well. I suspect that mine has been broken for a while because it hasn't been telling me to replace the head like it used to.
