Where do you buy a battery for a jbl Charge 4 ??

Matt hempel - Reply Share

Probably just cut open the blue foil around the batteries and replace them by re-soldering the electronics onto new 18650 batteries.

correct me if I’m wrong here.

If you know how to handle them and have experience with soldering them that's a yes if not those batteries are really dangerous if you don't know how to do it correctly.
