JBL CHARGE4 - BATTERY REPLACEMENT

[@andis2510]

Well done, thanks! In my case, as the speaker didn't turn on I thought battery is broken. After dismantling it and pull of batterie connector, I measured good nominal voltage. I put it back and a miracle happens - it works again. I guess removing power was a kind of reset for it. Anyway your video helped a lot for understanding the procedure. Greets

Mines 2yrs old and stopped taking a charge, thank you for the video

[@jokmenen_]

I have the same issue that many people seem to encounter where the jbl turns on and right off again. I figured out my original battery is SUN-INTE-156, where my new batteries are SUN-INTE-118. Maybe that causes problems. I cannot find a 156 battery anywhere though, which sucks. Any ideas for how i can make the 118's work?

[@mygiguser]

I am not sure what the differences between 118 and 156 batteries are. You are saying many people have the problem that 118 doesn't work for them? I hear this for the first time.

[@jokmenen_]

@mygiguser im just guessing that that might be the cause. The only replacements i could find for charge 4 were 118 batteries while my originals were 156. Thought they would be compatible but unfortunately didnt work out

[@scottroddenberry2579]

Great Video sir! Thank you, my battery is fading. Now to source & price new one. May not be worth it to replace batt vs new speaker.

[@mygiguser]

ebay has the best prices. definitely worth changing the battery!

Cameron Sino battery manufdacturer are the best

[@almasiandrei2742]

Can the cells be chaned ? Does the battery pack have inside a BMS ? or the BMS is built in the speaker board?

[@mygiguser]

BMS is in the battery pack

[@kcirmusic1]

Excellent instructional video... Thanks very much.

[@Daniel_Suchanek]

Thank you very much! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@kairefeare]

Curious to see if it would be possible to use higher rated cells, like a 3500mah 10a 18650, 3p1s and increase the battery life that way.

[@mygiguser]

It would work, but most cells with that capacity are fake.

[@kairefeare]

@@mygiguser as far as I know any other cells that boast higher than that don't exist. There are Sanyo ncr18650ga cells that can reach that and the LG mj1 cells. Although, those JBL packs already hit those limits basically, so maybe more work than it's worth. But if it's not OEM, then it would be cool to at least use cells that i know are good.

Any chance of squeezing in 3 21700 without the foam? Besides 7500mAh is 2500mAh per cell, upgrading to Samsung 3500mAh should give a nice boost.

[@mygiguser]

not sure with the 21700s it could be too tight.

[@frostyfoe5002]

Where did you buy the replacement battery

[@mygiguser]

What's the model of JBL BMS module sir may I know?

[@jeff033]

Hi mr giguser 😁 Im just curious Why there's no serial sticker at the top of charging port Since you brought it brand new? Anyways the for the tip 👍👍👍

[@mygiguser]

i removed it

[@proxyhx2075]

@@mygiguser You really shouldn't have done that, it voids the warranty but it's gone now anyways. Btw your speaker has a GG model driver.

[@REALMIGXWOO]

mygiguser I have a jbl charge 4 and I think the battery is moving because when I move it hard it makes a noise like something inside is moving and it’s coming from the left side it sounds like something big is that normal?

[@edgardjulio7679]

I installed the new battery but it switches off after 3 seconds - it like if the device wouldn't recognise the battery - any suggestions?

[@omardiaz7473]

I have the same problem

[@goobawhoba]

Thank you so much!!!

[@ngongoc1902]

3 pin 18650. it play max at 12volt ?

[@mygiguser]

yes

[@5K4LP-TP]

I bought 2 different batteries for changing it, both times the speaker turn on and off right after it. Despites the battery charging and having charge. Where else can be the problem ?

[@mygiguser]

Good question. How do you know the battery is charged. Do the lights blink when charging? Does it work when it is connected to a charger? So many things can go wrong. Hard to say over the internet ...

[@aldoandrade227]

I have the same issue, did you figure it out?

[@5K4LP-TP]

@@mygiguser Yup. Lights are blinking starting at 4 or 3. It depends on the battery. And it's not working when plugged. I tried different chargers and nothing worked. So I contacted the JBL staff today. It may be because it's not from the manufacturer but I was unable to find a new battery matching my serial number so I send them a message. Where did you buy your battery ?

[@Merle404]

Hey guys same issue, did you fix it?

[@5K4LP-TP]

@@Merle404 Sort of. The battery should match the serial number of your speaker. But it's almost impossible to know unless you contact JBL. They had some batteries (don't know if it's still the case) but they cost 80€. And you had 10€ or near in shipping wich is unbearable. The best option that you have is to find someone selling one for spare parts matching with the 2 letters at the beginning of your serial number. Mine was starting by GG. Hope it could help even if I can't give a proper solution.

Kannst du mir helfen ? Woran liegt es wenn die Box seit Std am Laden ist aber nur die 1. Led blinkt? Ist die 🔋 hin? Kommt wenigstens in die 4er charge alle die selben Akkus oder gibt's auch wieder unterschiedliche wie bei der charge 3 🙄

[@mygiguser]

Ja Batterie kaputt. Am besten Batterie ausbauen und dann bestellen! Darauf achten dass die neue Batterie die gleichen Anschlüsse hat.

[@sunnybunny7771]

@@mygiguser danke dir !

[@TheMetinish]

IPORTANT!!!!! Before you buy a new battery, take your current battery down and press the POWER button for a few seconds and then connect your battery again and try to charge it. It actually worked for me. From what I understand it have to do with the speakers software or something like that.

[@mariohiph]

I replaced my battery with a new one. Still doesn’t charge. I get 1 led light and it turns off after a few seconds. -.-

[@mygiguser]

then it must be the charge port, or the charge cable, or your USB
