This guide will walk you through from taking apart the device, disconnecting all the cables inside and taking apart the battery for replacement.
There are two versions of the battery in this device; one with three wires and one with five wires. The best way to tell which type of battery you need is to disassemble your device before ordering a replacement battery.

Great guide. Detail was appreciated. I bought my battery at Newegg.com Item#: 9SIA3HK6018406. Thank you.
I just managed to find a replacement battery for the older JBL Flip2 , which has a LI-ion battery (just three cables with a different connector) for in this feature just the newer Lipo battery is covered:
This is the right battery for the early version:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B002XCR3UI...
it has a different connector , so soldering the old connector to the new battery is required: Easy enough, since the colors are the same - yellow to yellow , black-black and red-red.
it‘s a tiny bit wider so with a knife the side holders have to be cut out a little, you will see when you receive the battery.
open it up first and you will see which version you have, the LIPo version has the connector at the front as pictured above, the LI-ion version has a 3pin connector at the backside of the PCB.
fir this version you need a LI-ion battery as in the link above.
Everything else is just as described above - ists such a great little speaker and Im happy that it plays again… ;-)
