Remove the internal electronic mechanism from the housing by prying the red clips shown in the figure. This removes the charging port.
Yes, white clips way to go here.
How (exactly) do you loosen the two white plastic anchors? (Press them towards the center?). What tools did you use? Thanks!
I don't see he advantage of doing this. It can lead to damage and isn't in the way of anything else

Well, the VOLTAGE of this battery is about 2.8 to 2.9 Volts. The size is same as that of TWO AAA Cells. Two AAA in series can easily replace the existing battery. Ni-Mh AAA cells of Energizer can do the job. Disconnect the existing battery but don’t remove the metallic connection to the circuit.
where is the rest? remove what metallic connection? what do you use to solder the two back together?
he’s referring to the two skinny leads that attach the battery to the circuit board.
I’m about to try this given how poor the quality of a replacement I bought is. As long as you have a means to connect 2 AAAs in series and a means to connect the + and - ends of the battery to the PCB, it should work. again, I haven’t tried this and probably do it when I’m done being !#^&@@ off about false claims by 3rd party battery manufacturers.
I just wish Philips just created a normal compartment for 2 rechargeable AAAs in the first place rather than have to go through so many hoops to repair a product that was planned to go in the trash - travesty! ok - i’m done venting.

Step 3 is incorrect. The only things keeping the internals secured in the casing are the two ‘elbows’ clearly visible in Step 3 picture 2. Simply pry these away from the depressions in the casing and the works slide out, with a little push from the top stem. The method describing the 3 red clips does no good (besides being nearly impossible to accomplish) and presents a clear risk of breaking the hair-thin wires
The method described in Step 3 to remove the internals from the casing is incorrect. Rather than prying the 3 red clips (nearly impossible anyhow) all that is required is to pry the two ‘elbows’ visible in step 3, photo 2, away from the depressions in the casing. Voila.

Thank you for the comments about removing the “innards”. I spent a couple hours yesterday trying to remove those red clips! This morning I saw the comments. It’s still a little bit of a challenge to get both elbows pried, but I found out it’s easier if you apply quite a bit of pressure to the brush end while manipulating the elbows. At first I was trying to light of pressure and the opposite elbow would always fall back into the depression while I tried to pry the other side. More pressure and the problem was resolved. Again, thanks to Craig for his observation. ifixit needs to correct the above instructions to reflect this.
I’ll echo the sentiments in the other comments about Step 3. What I did was position the toothbrush upside-down on a countertop, and while pressing the toothbrush head metal connector down firmly, I used pliers to pry each elbow, one at a time.
If anyone is still messing with one of these..
The above comments are correct; also, rather than try to manipulate those two white clips, you can squeeze the outer casing so that they (the two "elbows", "clips") are no longer in their grooves, and no longer holding the innards in.
Just squeeze the case on the sides that the clips aren't. At the same time, VERY GENTLY press the other end (bar that the toothbrush attaches onto) against your work surface.
It may try to only let one end out, holding the other and going wonky (mine did). While still squeezing the outer case, push it back to it's original position; squeeze slightly harder, and try again. Eventually, both sides should come free at the same time, and you're good.
