Can the battery be replaced? We have this toothbrush and it's almost 3 years old and doesn't hold a charge well. Thanks!

The Professional Precision 5000 says the batteries may be replaced. Page 10 of the owners guide.

No it cannot be replaced, since it's more than 2 years old and out of warranty they will not fix it citing un availability of parts. You will need to buy a new one. If you are good at taking things apart and soldering you can try to dismantle it and get an after market battery.

There are some guides online to tell you how to replace the battery. It involved de-soldering and soldering, so really only do-able for advanced DIYers. I tried and failed (but learned a lot about soldering on the way, so the $15 I invested was not completely wasted). Of course doing so will also void any warranty, so it's really only something that you will want to attempt if you have nothing to lose.

Yes, but it is tricky. I replaced my old oral B professional battery with a rechargeable AA NiMH battery. This requires soldering wires and purchase of a smaller replacement battery spring to secure in place because the original battery was a shorter non standard size.

No, it is not designed with a replaceable battery. Our previous Oral-B brush lasted about 4 years before it wouldn't hold a charge. But, we left it plugged in all the time. So, after every use, it got a small recharge. With our new one, I monitor the LED on the handle. When it starts flashing red after a brushing, I plug it in to charge. I am hoping this will help the battery last longer.

According to the information I have with my manual, the battery is not supposed to be replaced. The battery, with proper care, is designed to last quite awhile, but it depends on how much you use it. I hope that's helpful.

I've had my Gardena for over a year and it still has a strong battery. Therefore, I haven't tried to change the battery so, I don't know about replacing the battery. Sorry.

The battery is rechargeable and have had it for a year and no loss in charge. I am not sure if it is replaceable at all.

I think that the battery pack can be replaced but not by you. Try going to a Batteries Plus if you have one in your area.

The only reason i stop using it is when the battery dies (i only charge it once a week or so, not all the time.) When this happens, i often switch to my manual backup toothbrush for a few days until i actually remember to charge it and start using it again.

The battery lasts a good two weeks no matter how you handle it. I would not worry about it one way or the other. This electric toothbrush is a great product at an ideal price.

*mine lasted three months, I suggest to buy good batteries, and it also depends on how much you're using your toothbrush...

It's battery, but don't let that fool you. The battery last a long time, and it is surprisingly powerful toothbrush. It does an excellent job. They last me about a year or so then time for a new one. I tried other brands but they didn't hold up as well, ate batteries, and ran weak. This is the one you want.

I don't believe the battery is replaceable. I've had the prior version of this one for over 23 years and the battery still runs. Hope that helps.

The battery can be replaced. You can purchase a new battery from www.eledingsolar.com.

It doesn't look like the battery can be replaced. I had mine for a couple of months and it holds it's charge very well. A simple plug to wall charger or computer with its USB cable and it charges with no problems. It holds a pretty good charge for couple of days-depending how much u listen.

It is a built in Lithium battery. So, I'm assuming no way to replace it. They are asking me to assume the charge of shipping and send a $9.95 check for possible repairs because mine stopped working. That would probably be what you would need to do if yours needed a new battery. Since I've had mine less than 6 months I'm not a happy camper. Probably will not send it back. (This is their idea of a guarantee, I guess.)

I have searched the internet and found that replacement brushes are expensive. You might as well by a whole new tooth brush. It is cheaper than replacing the brushes.

I don't know if you can get just the battery, but the warranty is 2 years and waterpik should send you a replacement. They replaced my entire unit when it failed after almost 1 year, and accepted my request for a replacement without question or requiring me to return my failed unit.

Your assumption is correct. The battery/batteries is/are not user replaceable. The factory warranty is two years, but mine is dying quickly at the four year mark. I've just ordered a 3000 from Amazon.Proper charging will lengthen the life of the brush. My old Oral-B had NiCad batteries and had to be fully discharged about once every six months. I don't know what the battery composition is for the newer brushes. In my case, I think water damage may have caused it's demise.

The battery for the CS530 headset is not replaceable. When the battery is no longer holding a charge, there are two options: 1) Purchase a replacement headset, or 2) Use Plantronics' Premier Repair Service to exchange for a re-manufactured unit.
