Introduction

This guide will show how to remove the battery from the speaker. To access the battery, the front panel must first be removed using the Front Panel Guide. This repair may be necessary if the battery no longer holds a charge, charges inconsistently, or needs replacement due to age or damage.

Before beginning, ensure the device is powered off and disconnected from any charging source. A Phillips screwdriver and a plastic opening tool are required for disassembly. Take care when handling internal components, as the battery and surrounding connectors are sensitive and can be damaged if pulled or bent.

Once the front panel is removed, the internal components and battery will be exposed for removal and replacement.
