Thank you so much Jimmy. I really enjoy the toothbrush. When the battery died I couldn't change it. Went to reviews. There were a lot of complaints. I almost threw the toothbrush away and then I decided to come here. You are so helpful. Thank you!!!
Thanks Jack! Glad it was helpful. FYI a few months back I showed the video to my dentist. He was in awe, no 3 month advice. Don't forget to dispose of the old battery properly too!
Thank you! This helped a lot. I thought I broke it when I was doing it myself. I had to really yank out the assembly! I started out not doing this and just taking the battery out. It's not possible to put back together since I couldn't bend the metal to make contact. I followed your video and my toothbrush works like new again.
This worked for me . I've been trying to change a battery for an Oral-B Pulsar toothbrush for a number of years but it never worked out and ended up buying a new one every time . Such a simple method to all the other ones I had previously come across on UA-cam. Thanks Jimmy, you've extended the life of my toothbrush and did your bit to help save the planet!
Hi Mark, I am glad to see this worked for you. Now I know it works for sure. Thank you! I do my part for the planet too, cause I hope we are still here in 12 years lol.
@@keyboards112 Once again, my battery went dry, I managed to change the battery which means that I've extended the life of this toothbrush to three times beyond its factory life thanks to you !
Jimmy C, you're a fixer after my own heart... I like the simplicity of your video and fix.... Most importantly, it really works".. Now I just have to convince my wife that our dentist's recommendation to change toothbrushes every couple of months is nonsense and bad for the planet and our pocketbook
Thank you for people like you on UA-cam that videos to solve simple everyday problems that can be hectic if you don't know what you are doing. Because of you my toothbrush works again.
Yes Jimmy! My dentist loves me since I’ve been using this toothbrush, and my only gripe was the throwaway nature of the product. My previous (non electric) brush lasted 10 years, but this is better. Thanks for posting.
I return to this video all too often sir, you make it seem simple and I use ever tool or buffer I might need but I usually can't get it to work so easily
Wow- I was ready to toss it in the trash and went online to see where I can buy new ones- costco was out. Your video popped up and the timing could not have been better! Thanks
Thank you very much for your great advice. I destroyed three of my old tooth brushes by trying to change the battery. Your method is very easy to follow and I succecced at my first try. Thank you sir 🙂.
Thanks for the video. I tried to change the battery 3 times with no avail. My wife likes to replace the whole toothbrush when the battery dies. I needed to change the battery, so I can turn it into a lock pick tool. 👍 📼!
Thanks!! This is my favorite kind of toothbrush. I usually throw it out every three or 4 months or so because the bristle wears down. Knowing this is a good option to keep it a little longer if the battery wears down sooner which I have experienced that before.
Always wondered if you could do this, handle looks like it will separate but I could never get it apart. Well after seeing this I just gave the twist more force to unscrew the bottom and got it apart. Interestingly the battery in it (never replaced) had the positive end down not the negative end like you stated. So I put the new battery in the same way as the original one an brush would not work. Then I put it in negative end down and it works great. Can't figure that one out.
Oral B must have gotten wise to this b/c when I tried this I broke a wire and still never released the battery fixture. Once I did get it out I soldered the wire and it works fine, but just beware that wire is stretched across where the screwdriver enters and it doesn't have much slack in it. Thanks for this! I hated the idea of throwing this thing out -- I have a rechargeable unit but it's much noisier and heavier than this brush.
Thanks for this. Had one that quit after only two weeks and didn’t want to toss it. Unfortunately I’ve tried to replace the battery by bending the rear clip and not removing the assembly and it never works. Will try this next time.
Probably best to avoid grabbing the battery itself as it takes a fair amount of force to pull the carriage out. I was able to use needle nose pliers to grab just the sled the battery sits in. It's even easier if you bend the battery tab back, remove the battery, then use pliers to remove the carriage. If you bend the battery tab, just use pliers to bend it back before putting the carriage back in.
This is what I did. Mostly by chance. I had removed the battery thinking the carriage didn't need to also come out. So I wrapped thick tape around the carriage and yanked HARD. Heard something pop but I think mine was glued in and it works great again.
Blessed be the Internet, because it has more answers to my questions than the Holy Bible, the Koran and all the holy books. Even God himself that I have always talked to him, but he has never answered me.
That white piece, I think it might be styrofoam, came off when I took the toothbrush apart and I didn't realize it was important so I didn't keep track of it. Is it essential to the working of the toothbrush? I tried taking apart before I watched your video so I didn't do it your way and now it doesn't seem to work even with a fresh battery.
Guys u should change brush every 3 months that’s exactly when the battery runs out if u brush for 2 minutes a day. Don’t try to change the battery instead get a new one for 3£ from Tesco. Bristles are not effective after 3 months it needs changing
Great explanation, but this is one of the top worse design I ever seeing to change a battery, you need a tool to change a simple battery. someone mentioned looks like they don't want you to change the battery, buy a new one every time when the battery is dead.
I didn’t know you could change the battery. I thought it was disposable after the battery ran out. Thank you for the informational video!
Thank you so much Jimmy. I really enjoy the toothbrush. When the battery died I couldn't change it. Went to reviews. There were a lot of complaints. I almost threw the toothbrush away and then I decided to come here. You are so helpful. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! Simple and easy! I’ve been struggling with these toothbrushes for years!
My pleasure, Josh!
I've broken a dozen of these trying to get the battery out without realising the entire assembly comes out with it. Thanks a lot!!
Glad it helped you!

It actually did!!
Deadass I was so confused when I was trying it alone😂😂
Thank you! Your video made this process extremely easy.

Somewhat late to say you're welcome (just read your comment). So, Glad I helped you! Hope Bruno is doing fine, great video!...Jim

Thanks for looking and glad I could help you.

Excellent. Thanks for posting this. Super easy and cost effective. Looking at the design, I’ve no doubt they don’t want you to replace the battery.
Thank you so much. I have opened the toothbrush by mistake and couldn’t make it work and this video has helped me a lot!!!

Haha! Just destroyed 2 toothbrushes _then_ went searching youtube and found your great tutorial! Next brush will get a proper new battery! Thanks!
Thank you so so much I didn’t know how to replace it for long time 🤗🤗🤗
Great tip. Many tanks. You saved my tooth brush from a fly directly to the bin.
Good job! This toothbrush is awesome and doesn't feel like jackhammer so I am happy to find your video and shared knowledge worked.
Thank you Jimmy. I tried to change the battery a few times unsuccessfully. No sense in buying new toothbrush when the bristles are still good.
Great! Glad it worked.
Thanks for the video.
I tried to change the battery 3 times with no avail. My wife likes to replace the whole toothbrush when the battery dies. I needed to change the battery, so I can turn it into a lock pick tool.
👍 📼!
Thank you, sir! Worked perfectly. I used channel lock pliers to capture the battery and the assembly for removal without incident.
This worked BRILLIANTLY!! Thank you so much for making this!
You're welcome! Stay safe!
Awesome tutorial! Exactly what I was looking for?

I replaced it without taking the whole thing out. Had to put a load of washers in the handle though.

Nice awesome videos
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much!

But then u can’t bend the metal back

Thank you so much good sir.
You are very welcome! Happy New Year!

Thanks man
You're welcome! Glad to help you.
👍👍
I got it out and replaced the battery, but I cant get the contact to touch the battery once I close it. 😓
Ms D Jones. Take it out again. Try bending the contact down before you put the new battery in so its touching the battery. Don't be afraid to bend it.
I tried it, failed and broke it
Not to be that guy, but you can actually just pull it out (it doesn't take that much force)
Thank you but your instruction was out of frame much of the time. Just have to adjust your camera😁
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Very welcome, my pleasure!
Thank you!!!
