    Repacing battery in Bose Mini II speaker


    Hi there

    I like using the Bose Mini II speaker -- after 5 years the battery has finally died -- I can get a replacement (34 EUR Amazon) but I see the battery is soldered on to a small circuit board.

    I've disassembled the speaker system and am not a stranger to using a Soldering Iron -- just want to know if anybody here on the Forum has attempted successfully to do this.

    (A replacement speaker system would cost around 200 EUR so IMO it's worth "having a go with the replacement" ).

    The speaker system sounds excellent is very portable and has good Blue tooth as well and it works with Windows just OK - the replacement battery is bigger so a full charge will give continuous use of around 18 - 24 hours - If I don't break the old one.

    Sometimes it's worth trying this stuff out if the hardware is "repairable" -- although why manufacturers have to solder bayyeries in when just a little connector would make changing batteries easy -- suppose they want to make money by people sending device off for bayyery replacement or getting them to buy a new device !!!!

    Cheers

  3. Repacing battery in Bose Mini II speaker

    For $75 seems Bose will fix it for you, but honestly, sounds like a horrible product.
    I have an Echo Show 8 Alexa device and it has great sound, and is about the price of a battery fix, and can do so many more things. Has no battery which is a plus. Runs off DC power from a power brick plugged into the wall
    In looking through it's menu, I saw you can connect Bluetooth speakers to it.
    You can browse web with firefox, it will play netflix, and it will talk to you. Has a very nice looking touch screen. I got it for a Christmas gift from my parents. I can make video call by saying call 'momdad'. Has a sliding shutter so you can turn off the video too for privacy. You can also control it thru the Alexa app on your phone or by its onscreen menus.

    It may be someone could design a battery stand for it to make it portable. But battery life is not great on every battery powered computer like thing I have owned.
