rechargable toothbrush battery dying fast can it be replaced?

rechargable toothbrush battery dying fast can it be replaced? The brush is functioning quite well except the battery is failing. Seems quite wrong to throw it away just for that. Is there any way of breaking into the case and replacing it with a new one? It came from Tchibo so I don't know the make.

The sonicares (I have repaired 2) have 2 AA size NiCds inside. They are replaceable- not officially, but if you open the case you can dig them out and replace them.

I agree with Jeffrey. I have just published a guide on how to open a Philips Sonicare toothbrush to repair the actuator. There you can see the format of the battery. I think it can be useful when replacing the battery, too.

Not sure what brand you own, but Sonicare which I have is pretty clear that when the battery dies, they project 2 to 3 years, that you remove the battery for proper disposal and throw the unit away.
