Hello, i just did this battery replacement and it works! I will give some more info. I replaced the Lipo for the LG INR18650-HG2L 3000mAh - 20A which costing around 50% less than the brown ones in the demo. And another very important issue i was dealing with, my battery pack was slightly to big for its chamber caused by wiring. Therefor the lower lid could not seal properly and AIR was leaking when playing music loud. So resonance distortion was the result. I almost gave up, thinking my speaker was blown. So keep in mind the casing must be sealed completely!!! I used EPDM kit at the base of the inlet cable assy battery pack. Succes everyone, succes Léon

I did the same with my xtreme except that I used Samsung Lithium batteries. I like the Panasonic ones though. This was a fun project for me at the time. Great work on yours too.

Those Batteries need to be isolated with soft material. Otherwise the sound will be soon or later bad because of their vibrations mate.😊 Otherwise good job👏🏿👏🏿

Great job. One thing I would like to ask why we should use 2 yellow cables to join the pcb (BM) to the battery. Could we simply join the two BM points on PCB and use a single cable to connect it to the battery?

[@HarishChandra-zz6bb]

Thanking you bro...from this video learn something new....

[@simonvoigt6262]

Did this 2 years ago... But never ever it will fit like you shown or the shown xtreme isn't sealed anymore. The passiv speakers loose a lot of power if this case isn't correct sealed. I had to remove a bit of cover both sites to get the seal close enough together with no little air gap. Other option would be to seal the hole and let the encloser with this gap.

[@reveninja5252]

thanks, I was afraid to use the li-po pcm and transfer it to the li-ion battery, but now I consider it an option.

You haven't put back the rubber gasket. Not only this use for waterproof but also help to airtight the internal to produce more vaccum to help create more bass in low frequency. Thats a very useful one. The JBL portable series are marvelous engineering of speakers.

[@unknownaccount7635]

Good job! But I need some clarification. I've seen different schemes on the same issue, there minuses were connected to BM and B- respectively... Pluses were connected to B+ and another BM. Also only two minuses were connected in parallel (for each battery). In your example you have connected all minuses in parallel and then to BM (one BM left alone). Why so different? I bought another BSM, since I'm not sure that stock is still alive. But that new BSM has 4 contacts: B+, B-, BM1 and BM2. So I wonder how to connect it to batteries. Thanks

[@ThePentosin]

This really confues me too.

[@mrmanusia]

I really like when you do the battery replacement like this, could you do more please

[@M0rtin67]

I'm a bit suprised, i did many conversions like this, but the 18650 cell pairs did not fit inside right away, without some dremeling. Also, if you planning on using the speaker for years to come, you should definetly put in a 2s balancer. The lack of it, in the original bms is what causes the lipo cells to die so soon.

[@davuvnik]

What's that?

[@gartheligon140]

What is a 2s balancer?

[@M0rtin67]

@@gartheligon140 @Garth Eligon It is a little circuit, that is either a separate circuitboard that you can buy and connect parallel to the existing bms board, or it is a function sometimes built into the bit more expensive bms circuits. Its function is exactly what its name is suggesting: it equalizing the cell voltages in a battery pack when the pack being charged. The "2s" simply means how many cells it is design for, in this case 2s means 2cell. Without a balancer, lithium cells tend to drift from each other in voltage, and over time, when charging the pack, one cell gets overcharged(and the bms shuts the pack down to prevent an explosion, while the other cell is far from being fully charged). And when discharging the less charged cell will depleat quickly, and the bms will again shut the pack down suddenly, to try to prevent the depleated cell from damage.

[@shannonbunch1003]

Love the video... I'm not sure the average Joe can do this repair. And even though the battery exchange is really the most technical part of this, I'm not sure a local electronics shop would b worth the money they would charge to do it. Obviously it's gonna be less expensive to change the battery vs buying a new speaker, I would just need some help doing the battery switch itself.

[@Jwk2211]

Although it's awesome that he replaces the cells themselves, new (pre-wired) battery packs are also freely available online! This means you only have to do the screws and clips, the new battery will look exactly the same as the old one upon removal and simply snaps into the socket.

[@tanktheram]

@@Jwk2211 the point is: the factory battery is Lithium Polymer this pack he's building is Lithium Ion. Lithium Ion is a safer battery, and does better with charge discharge cycles than LiPo. I personally don't have the ability to build a Li Ion pack, so I bought another LiPo from Amazon. Would be nice if someone pre-made ion packs and sold online 😉

Do you have, (or know any videos on How to get an Altec Lansing bluetooth speaker apart? I have 2 of them, one is their "Baby Boom" model, it has no sound and painfully short battery life. Being a $20 unit, I want to learn on that; the other is their "Super Lifejacket" which does work, but no matter how long I charge it, the battery never indicates being fully charged, (the red LED never goes out).

Go with li ion batteries from a Tesla model 3, they are 4800mah each and if you make it like this battery then it will be 9600mah and they are 21700 size so they will fill up the battery compartment but it might need slightly modified to fit them. batteryhookup.com has the Tesla batteries for around $3.50 each.
