I've poked and prodded but can't seem to get this thing apart without

know how to change the batteries.

This one is obviously not the same as mine, but within the charging
'cradle'
(which was keyed) you could twist the body so the bottom would come loose.
If yours is not keyed, you need to find a way to hold onto the bottom
section while separately holding onto the body and twisting about 90
degrees.

Once loose, the bottom would pull out and reveal the guts.

The battery was encased in a plastic "cage", and not a "user
serviceable"
part, but if you're careful about it, it can be done.

Although the battery (NiCd in my day) was not a "normal" size, we did
have
an electronics outlet here in Australia that sold similar batteries. So
if
you look, you should be able to find them around your neck of the woods.

I'll know this for next time. I let too much time pass before opening the
case and stopping the water damage. I wonder if you can get a new rubber
washer/seal kit for this brush. lol

Thanks for your reply.
