Slide the blue battery out from the black container. Your battery is now removed from the device and is ready for replacement.
I have replaced my battery with a replacement battery off Amazon. Did not work. Kept trying with 2 more batteries- still not charging.
Carefully checked my original battery that only lasts about 4 hours now, and it has a chip in it. It does charge. That means the other 3 batteries don’t have the security programming to work with the unit.
It would have been nice to have a new battery in there, but just not worth the aggravation, time, and money spent trying to resurrect the speaker.
I hate waste, but just buy a new one.

Thank you for the replacement steps - do you know where I could buy a replacement battery?
Anyone ever figure out what battery they needed?
I also would love to know what battery is actually needed for this.
The batteries are two 18650's in tandem. You can get these from batteries plus
Parallel or series connection?
What is the MAh on the required batteries for this device?
The best batteries are the panasonic 18650 batteries. Do a google search for them. You can usually find them for $8-10 (and higher) each with a little work. The Panasonic brand is definitely more expensive but of superior quality to all the chinese knock off batteries. Will hold a charge better and last much longer on a charge. You will have to connect the batteries and do a little soldering before fitting them back in the container. Two 2600 mAh batteries would equal the OEM rating on this device of 5200 mAh.
The batteries are in Parallel to give 3.7v, and 6800mah (or whatever amp ratting batteries you buy)
18650”s are too big
Good lord this was a chore. Thanks for the writeup!
I have the Braven XXL that is just over 12 Months old. The Battery no longer charges and Zagg (bought out Braven) is offering me a $30 gift card since I’m out of warranty, no thanks. Do you know how I can replace the battery for this unit.
Thanks
