What I did - I cut the body in half using a plumbers pipe cutter at the waistline. I bought two new '1/2-C' cells and soldered them in place of the old ones. I cleaned and re-greased the oscillatory mechanism etc. Then I re-assembled the toothbrush into the case and superglued the two halves together. Easy-peasy!
