Bose Soundlink III Battery Replacement

What you need

    • Use a spudger to pry the rubber pads off of the bottom panel of the SoundLink.

    • The rubber pads should have enough adhesive to stick when you reassemble them at the end. If not, however, you may need your own adhesive.

    • Remove the two 12.5 mm screws using a Phillips #2 screwdriver.

    • These screws may be difficult to remove. If necessary, use a lever for extra torque.

    • Remove the bottom panel.

    easy peasy. great instructions!

    couple things: 1. you dont need to remove the rubber pads completely; just enough to get the screws in & out. 2. if you get a small screw driver with the battery, its crap. use your own.

    thank you ifixit for another great tutorial.

    My SL III battery lasted nearly 8 years with almost daily use—but recently stopped holding a charge for more than 15-20 minutes. Replacement was super easy so thanks for posting. Bose quality is exceptional as always!

Gabriel, ik heb Bose gecontacteerd en ze zeggen dat ze dat niet apart verkopen. Het enigste wat ik heb gevonden is dit:http://www.ecrater.com/p/25268626/batter...

Of als het nog onder garantie valt, gewoon terug opsturen.

Gabrial, I've contacted Bose and they say that they didn't sell them seperately. The only thing that I've found is this:http://www.ecrater.com/p/25268626/batter...

If it still falls under warranty, send the speaker back.

the battery assembly is just 3x 1850 cells or similar problem is they are chipped. so no good will from Bose. you could try to transfer the chip to 3 new cells .

Thank you for a straightforward and comprehensive guide. My first time at this and it was as easy as changing a regular torch battery, only with an extra screw or two.
