These headphones are great and really comfortable. I replaced my battery a few years ago with a battery that I bought on eBay with the same 3.7V 140mAH specs that came with the headphones originally. However, this replacement, like the original, has very limited battery life - only a handful of hours (perhaps 3-6). Sometimes surprises me with low battery warnings when I think it should have sufficient charge. Hence, I'm looking at another replacement. When I look on Amazon now (Oct 2025), I see batteries advertised that appear to be compatible but with much larger capacity (350mAH). Do the authors know if the larger batteries are indeed compatible? My model was initially marketed as the AE2w and then renamed AE Soundlink and feature the huge detachable bluetooth module seen in the above photos. My concern is that there might be another wireless model also called the AE2 that has the receiver within the ear cup and with more physical space for a larger battery than my model couldn't accommodate.
