    Only the rear screen need be removed. There will be the battery housing(black plastic piece), remove 5 black screws with #1 Phillips. Gently working from side to side with spudger tool dislodge battery housing. Gently unplug battery connector, and remove battery housing. Remove 1 black Phillips screw and remove cover. Remove battery.

    • Using a Phillips #1 screwdriver (PH1), remove the (4) four 8mm screws.

    • Remove the end cap of the device. Repeat the same process to remove the other end cap.

    To remove the battery, only the cap and passive radiator containing the battery terminal needs to be removed.

    • To remove the end diaphragms, use a Phillips #1 screwdriver (PH1) and remove the (4) four 6mm screws.

    • Twist off the end cap and remove them from the device.

    It’s not recommended to twist the radiator as there alignment pins on the body of the device. This can be pried away by hand or with a plastic spudger tool

Thanks for the manual! Easy repair this way.

The JBL Charge 2 I have only needs the rear screen to be taken off. Once removed, just unscrew the battery holder plate. No need to unscrew the bass speakers. The battery plate is pretty well protected against water entering. You have to remove some silicone caulking to take out the power plug. My speaker takes the “New” Charge 2 battery.
