Thanks for this tear down. Never thought that it looks like this on the inside. My battery is kind off aging, bought the unit 7 months ago. Local Bose dealer said battery cost half of this speaker. I hope there is a cheaper alternative.

You can unsolder the battery and replace with a standard unprotected 18650 cell it literally costs 7$ for a high quality sony or panasonic or samsung cell. The protection and charging circuit is included in the speaker motherboard just make sure you resolder with the proper polarity.

Speaker looks like a 18650 lithium ion- from the pictures here.
