JBL Charge 3 Repair - Swollen Battery vs Plastic

[@mykg73]

i did this insted of buying a new speaker for work. 15$ later this unit is fixed thank you ! Your video was a big help!!!!

[@RestoreTechnique]

Excellent!

[@m.6854]

Wow. You worked with so much patience. I loved your video so much. Congratulations for having the speaker repaired. Also loved the end dancing with the dog.

[@an3k]

I really liked how you restored the cracked plastic. I heard that backing power and superglue works wonder too. I have a BOSE SoundLink Mini II and the sound is amazing too. Really nice bass. Surprising how much bass these tiny things can produce!

[@RestoreTechnique]

Thanks! Backing power? You mean baking powder? What does that do, never heard of that combination before, intrigued.

[@an3k]

@@RestoreTechnique Oh sorry, yes, baking powder :) In combination with superglue you can fill holes and (more importantly) replace broken off pieces of plastic. EDIT: Wow, so many typos. I should leave a voice message instead!

[@RestoreTechnique]

@@an3k ok cool, I must try it

[@irakliirakli4627]

@@RestoreTechnique Actually yeah, baking soda and superglue create really strong bonds literally instantly.

My one is almost 7 years old, not had a lot of use but never seemed to get to 5 dots charging. Then tonight tried using it with my Zwift set up I have put together at my mums for when I visit her during winter, and it was making all these farty noises like the bass units had blown, thought it had died on me until I looked and the battery had gone from 4 dots to 1 in about 5 mins, so I took a USB out from the PC and plugged it in and sounded good as new..... battery is clearly gubbed. New 7000Mah one ordered from scamazon, should get some more years out of it! Love videos like this on you tube....

[@harshabugatti]

You are really awesome at all your content creation, especially those videos which you teardown new Samsung phones. Way more to go... Kudos 👋

[@RestoreTechnique]

Thanks a ton

[@tolgaerdinc7191]

This is the exact issues I was having with my speaker glad this video is simple easy to understand and straightforward thanks mate!

[@SenorBolsa]

Still rocking my Charge 3 been solid, I'm sure the battery could use a preemptive replacement at this point it doesn't hold quite the charge it used to but still completely functional. Good to know it actually comes apart and goes back together really nicely if you have some finesse.

[@alrichdesa9348]

Amazing repair sir. Especially the part where you got the air seal intact after mending the crack in the frame.

[@lisarayner3091]

Amazing job, and looked pretty good after cleaning it up. Liked the final scene with the doggo at the end.

[@Tdotttttt]

I liked how you showed people walking in for party all the foot traffic lmfao I mean you are seriously one hell of a guy with huge sense of humor lmfao...The fact that you asked some of your friends to show up to film them walking into your house to complete the ending of a youtube video lmao I wish I was one of those people!

[@RestoreTechnique]

Most of them were my housemates, and they were already going out that night so it was perfect timing 😄

[@Johny-Boy-Bl4Z3]

What is it that you do I’m really intrigued of what you do

[@josue52977]

the patience.. wow 👏 👏 👏

[@polishmachine8303]

Excellent video capture, detailed in restoring speakers👍

[@DTDSasquatch]

I've got a JBL Charge 2+ that's still going strong and I like it. What I *don't* recommend are the Oontz Angle speakers from Cambridge Soundworks. Their water resistance is inferior and the circuit board inside corrodes past the point of repair. I bought 3 different models over the course of a year, and 2 of them failed within weeks of each other (total life span of about 3 - 3.5 years).

[@RestoreTechnique]

Ok cool, thanks for the info 👍

[@bertrandr]

My symptoms and model are identical thanks for this info i'll get a new battery hopefully it should solve it as well.

[@budesch8]

How's the replacement battery so far? I'm thinking of getting the original brand (Greatpower) but since mine got swollen in just 2 years, I'm also considering the cameron sino brand.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Well I sold the speaker, so I don't really know sorry

[@budesch8]

@@RestoreTechnique i see. Thanks anyway. Great and insightful video!

[@hcouto]

Nice! You will restore the other iPod Classic?

[@RestoreTechnique]

Yes, but my previous one didn't get many views, so it's not high on the priority list atm.

[@hcouto]

​@@RestoreTechnique for me its one of the best videos you have, love when you deep clean the device and restore, maybe the low views its because of the title, try something like "iPod Classic - Perfect Restoration".

[@g0raku]

something with the speakers at high volume was the battery?

[@gartheligon140]

Same problem with my charge 3 swollen batt...and cracked up screw holes in the batt cover, I used crazy glue but will have to strengthen with plastic welding. I can't afford a new batt...when it's imported into my country Trinidad it'll cost around $700.00 TT dollars plus customs and other fees. 😣 I have no other choice but to play it with batt... attached and hanging outside of case. Stuff a piece of cloth in one end to get good base. Such is life for some.

[@RestoreTechnique]

Damn, AU$143 (USD$103) for a new battery, that sucks. Mine was AU$40 delivered I think.

[@samuelasagwaram9191]

Please share a link how you got the battery. Thank you.

[@samuelasagwaram9191]

I love this video, thanks for showing this to us here. Meanwhile I have exactly this sane speaker with this same swollen battery my problem is how to get a new replacement battery, can I get a link to purchasing this battery for the charge 3 please ASAP Thanks

[@joesaiditstrue]

I have the Anker Soundcore 2, it's pretty good. Wish it was a bit louder

[@alfram2790]

Very nice vid and nice ending. Great job! Did you use a gopro cam?

[@RestoreTechnique]

Thanks! Nah was using my phone, Samsung S10e.

Hey I bought a battery replacement on Amazon and I used the brand takoci and it just doesn’t charge no sign of battery life when I plug it in and I get a red light when I plug it on the charger. Any suggestions?

[@shrirangcoep]

Thanks for the detailed video Can you pls some authentic links (online) to get replacement batteries delivered in India

[@RestoreTechnique]

Cheers. I only know of the once place where I got mine, link in the description.

[@minkorrh]

Those replacements are more like about 2000mah. They look suspiciously like the 2S 7.4 batteries I ordered for my old drone. I'm fixing one of these for a friend, and the battery in hers is almost 1.5 times the width it should be. I'm surprised it didn't catch on fire. Great vid btw.

[@derinyurdakul8167]

love the video man. good work

[@itsarobbery]

excellent work 👏

[@christopherjohnjagorin2879]

That sure is a neat way to fix that those cracks on plastic. If it were me I would have to run down to the store for some superglue or plastic epoxy. 😅

[@ayangjibrut]

can it run without the battery?

[@azmanmarleyarit]

I'm having that distorted sound just like yours. Maybe I should have a check on mine, too. Could be the speakers or battery. Thank you.for your video.

[@RestoreTechnique]

No worries 👍

[@azmanmarleyarit]

@Restore Technique just checked, the distorted one is on the left-hand hand side (battery connector side) The speaker itself doesn't have any torn and all connections are fine. The battery itself also looks and works fine to me.

2016 or 2017 it was purchased

Man I have the same problem on my speaker...but the plastic battery case is so cracked that i cant repair it...where i can get new...please tell me if you know🙏🙏...btw awesome video✌

[@RestoreTechnique]

Thankyou 😄 I don't know where to get a new one sorry, I didn't have to look for it. You might have to get one 3D printed, but that's unlikely to be cost effective if you don't design it yourself.

[@lofidude1007]

@@RestoreTechnique thank you...good idea..i will try to 3D model it and than print, my friend has 3D printer...i hope we succeed🙏

hello, when my charge 3 battery is dead, the light turns on but it does not connect to the bluethoot. will it be fixed if I change the battery?❤

[@RestoreTechnique]

If the light turns on then what makes you say it's "dead"? Does it connect to Bluetooth when fully charged?

[@Techfreak-1]

@@RestoreTechnique it's not charging, only the light is on. when it is connected to the charging cable, the light is on but. not using bluetooth

[@samd3231]

Great work of art, only small downside there is no automatic translator on this video it's a bit of a shame even if there isn't much dialogue otherwise well done I still said to myself that the color would be better after washing, we would have to find a way to re-dye the hull.... A little Hello from France... And for DIY, a little bravo!!! for you Génial un travail d'orfèvre seul petit bémol il n'y a pas de traducteur automatique sur cette vidéo c'est un peu dommage même s'il n'y a pas beaucoup de dialogue sinon bravo je me suis quand même dit que la couleur allait être mieux après un lavage faudrait trouver un moyen pour reteinter la coque .... Un petit Bonjour de France ... Et pour le bricolage un petit bravo !!! pour vous

[@penguingeo]

Does anybody know if the speaker can operate with the charger only, and the battery removed?

[@afistfulofpimples1745]

I'll ask around and see if someone knows, and let you know in about 15 mins.

i actually had to do a battery replacemant on my charge 3 as the old one was also swollen but thankfully none of the outside plastic broke it was just the inside one that goes from the battery compartment to the speaker compartment that had cracked and funnily enough we have the same battery but i had to swap my cables around so the battery would work in mine as i think i ordered a battery for a different model of charge 3 but all is well in the end as this is a very good speaker still

Leave a little bit space? That means it has too much space for the battery...? The battery doesn't "fix"? Or "fit"? I'm confused what you mean sorry
