    • Insert the iFixit opening tool between the speaker grill and speaker housing and pry around the entire perimeter of the device until the grill releases.

    • A strong adhesive attaches the grill to the housing, and requires some time and patience to break. Use mild heat to loosen the adhesive if necessary.

    • Use the opening tool to carefully pry your way around the battery, slowly lifting it off of the epoxy until it fully releases.

    • Be mindful not to puncture the battery. It is a Lithium cell, so there is a bit of risk involved when completing this step. Be careful and patient, and there will not be any complications.

    • During reassembly, remember to superglue the new battery back into place.

Thanks, but unless I missed something I don't see the recommended battery to replace with (only that it's a 1000mAh). Under "what you need" there's no mention of battery.

Amazon and others sell them. Just Google "JBL Clip 3 battery for sale". Price varies widely.
