Where can I purchase a replacement battery?

Vincent walcott -

Thanks, it was clear and very help full, fortunately for me it was a solder defect on battery PCB, I just refresh the solder joint with new solder and the speaker works perfectly.

Also I found in Ebay some batteries replacement of 3.7V and 3000mah, but you will need to assembly the battery pack , that will need some electronic knowledge, but I think is not really hard to do.

Luis Alberto Gonzalez Lopez -

This guide is very helpful, but does not state which type of batteries are required. Please state which type of battery (or batteries) would suit as a replacement. Thank you!

Extremely useful repair steps. Really appreciate your meticulous nature. Thanks!

Really helpful, this. I have used li ion 18650 2600mah batteries to replace the old ones. So far Bluetooth not quite working and it claims to be using wired input, so I guess I didn't snap that Bluetooth antenna cable back on as well as I thought or maybe one of the zifs didn't reseat home fully. Ball. Ache. Charging now and waiting for a nice lithium fire to start…
