Introduction

This guide will show you how to replace the battery on the Anker Soundcore Select 2 A3125. You will need to perform this repair if your speaker no longer holds a charge, dies quickly, or only powers on while plugged in. Handle the battery carefully and strictly avoid using metal prying tools to remove it, as puncturing the cell can cause a fire.

Before beginning disassembly, we recommend reviewing our troubleshooting pages to rule out any software or alternative hardware issues.

Caution: If the battery appears swollen, puffy, or emits a strange odor, handle it with extreme care. Swollen batteries can catch fire or explode if damaged. Before proceeding, review the What to Do with a Swollen Battery guide.

Additionally, ensure the device is powered off and unplugged from the charger before you begin.
