Battery Only Compatible with Soundlink Mini 1 Speaker Model 061384 061385 061386 【Not Fit Mini2/Gen2】

I've had the amazing Bose Mini speaker for a number of years now, but in recent months the battery life was declining more and more. I thought I'd need to send the unit back to Bose for repair -- or, more likely, see if Bose gave me a price break on a refurbished unit. Imagine my surprise when I googled "How to replace Bose Mini battery" and found a YouTube video showing a middle-aged guy changing out the battery himself as easy as pie. God Bless Bose! The rubber flap on the speaker's bottom peels off easily from one end, and voila, there's the battery right there, held in place by four screws! Now mind you, those four screws are some of the proprietary -- or at least uncommon -- kind manufacturers employ to thwart unauthorized product tinkering. But darned if the battery the guy said he bought from Amazon didn't even include the special screwdriver needed for those weirdo screws. As advertised, swapping out the old for the new battery was a piece of cake, taking less than five minutes. The only difficulty I encountered was getting one or two of the venerable screws to start turning from their years in locked position, but gripping the little screwdriver handle with pliers and turning did the trick. The new battery clicked right into place. I charged it up fully for a few hours, and wow, is the battery working like a champ! The old battery needed a charge after just five days of 15-30-minute use a day, but the new one still hasn't triggered the "low charge" light after some twelve days as I write this. All I can say is, I wish I could revive other items of my favorite gear as easily and effectively! Two thumbs up!!!

So far it’s working perfectly. Seen other reviews that people had issues with it but I haven’t experienced any problems yet. Make sure you check your model number for compatibility. The tool they provided was a little to small to get a good grip on but had bigger handled one in the garage. Only 4 screws to replace the battery and salvage few hundred dollar speaker. 10/10 recommend

Easy to install

Charged battery to full before first use. Used once or twice a week for about a hour or so and recharged after every use. Sometimes used while plugged in, sometimes not. Battery life was not stellar as the devices needed to be recharged after a hour or so of use while not plugged in. Bought in January, completely dead in June, will not recharge. Not worth it.

Bose is one of few companies making products that outlive lithium ion batteries. My Soundlink Mini 1 wouldn't hold a lasting charge and would unexpectedly drop Bluetooth connection. After replacing the battery the speaker plays much longer. I actually haven't been able to run it all the way down even at louder volume. The original (bad) battery wouldn't last 40 minutes at low volume, and now several hours at higher volume is no problem! I see the seller has to mention about a dozen times in the description that this is for Soundlink Mini 1 061384. Come on people -do your research! I installed this easily in about 10 minutes. It drops right in (no cable) flush like the OEM and the rubber cover fits on perfectly. I'm giving 4 stars because the price is a little high even for a lithium ion.

Delivered as advertised.

Came on time and works fine.

battery worked great on the initial charge but will not hold a charge any longer. It was good for one charge only. Poor battery, don’t waste your time and look elsewhere updated from 1 to 3 stars because the seller offered a full refund
