Since the battery is "sealed" does this mean that once the recharge life expires, the speaker is headed for the trash?

If it is out of warranty and your battery is dead you can still have it plugged into power and run the speaker. You would only need the battery if you wanted to run it off the grid.

If mine dies.... I'm having my husband open it up and replace the bat-pack. (He's an electronics tech... so yeah, he can do that) Although this unit looks to be one solid brick... it does open.

It will be the same as any iPhone, Jambox, or the like of sealed battery units. The batteries are not replaceable, but are meant to last for the normal operating life of the unit. Should the battery fail within the first year, however, it is covered under the one year manufacturing warranty.

it's a hearing aid type of battery. About the size of a nickel. I've had mine for about 3 months and no sign of it dying.

There is a tiny slot between the batteries (two tiny screws show) on the opposite side from the speaker. If you have a small enough screw driver, you could open it and see what the trouble is or just return it for another one. We love ours.

Hi Ann, yes, it is recommended to recharge the battery after unboxing. Thanks_Mitch

I don't think so. It would just say 0:00... I would assume you can take the battery out to preserve it....

YES YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED. Do not use the battery as it may create a hazard. Dispose/recycle appropriately or return to manufacturer/seller.

The rechargeable battery is to be used to charge the headphones as when your out and want to use your speakers the battery can die.

I guess you'll have to let it run out, and then recharge it. If the problem persist then something is wrong with the headphones.

Sure can! Still, you can still use the speaker even after the batter has pooped out. Just plug it in to USB charger and there ya go.

I have noticed that if the battery is not used, it is good for the time stated. Of course, any use or over charging will void the life of the battery. Just make sure if the battery is NOT used it is as good as new.

It's depends on the charger, not the battery. And, for this battery, never let it die, or it will die forever.

It had happened to me only when batteries are exhausted, I mean with low charge. I use rechargeable batteries on my Sony BT speaker. They can be very tricky if memory is not erased with an appropriate charger, I use a LaCrosse BC-9009 to refresh them. If you use good fresh alkaline batteries, that "cut-off" effect shouldn't happened. The louder the music the higher the power demanded from the batteries. When batteries are weak they are not able to supply the power the speaker need at high volumes and they give up leaving your device with no power until the batteries recovered a bit. I bet that when you play it with the ac adapter it keep going at max volume with no shut offs. Check if contacts in the batteries compartment are clean, poor contact produces the same effect as weak batteries. Hope this helps, Good luck.

There are some screws on the side in the shape of a rectangle which hold the battery. You have to go through the front and unscrew everything to take the grate and pull the speaker out to loosen the wires to the battery or else you'll rip the wires out. If you loosen the wires you can go through the side next time if you have to replace the battery. There is a load of sticky stuff too around the battery which make it finnicky to pull out but I just used an old kitchen knife and ran it down the sides. The battery is a 12.5 rechargable one. It should say on the battery itself.

Hi! If you've read my review, you'd know that I dumped that piece if rubbish into the recycle bin. It didn't last me long enough to even give me the opportunity to change the battery once!The whole thing is a piece of junk and should never be sold to the honest person.

No. The device is sealed. You plug it in to charge it. It has an excellent battery life. I played mine for a few hours a day for several days, and I didn't drop below 75%.

It means it need to be placed in a rubbish BinThese are great timers but the battery holder is poorly made.Mine was thrown out.

you put it in the back of the main speaker, can you actually charge it with an usb cord, since the battery is rechargeable. Battery lasted only 2 hours with continuous play when fully charged.
