Thanks for this I followed to open my JBL Charge 3 as it had rattling passive bass driver. I found out that the cords from the battery were touching the driver so it made this crazy annoying sound. I first thought that driver is leaking air but it was not. If you have similar problem just check this tip.

I succeeded to remove the plastic circle without damaging it a lot by popping it up instead of twisting it, I just used a flat screw driver to free the clips one at the time. Thanks a lot for this vid 👍

For the tabs on the woofer cover, use an old credit card, chop it in half, then wedge each half under the tabs, twist and comes off easy with no damage, thanks for the video!

Hello, I also followed this video and changed the battery on my Charge3. It worked a treat. Thanks for the clear and informative instruction. You saved my speaker from the recyclers and saved me a heap of cash by buying a battery instead of a whole new speaker. Thanks so much - Peter V.

Clear. Complete. Easy to follow. Though my model was slightly different, his direction was so effective I was able to quickly adapt. Thank you!! My Charge 3 breathes new life.

excellent step by step video. got my JBL Charge 3 working again and all for under $30! Thanks !

Thank you! Easy to follow! I had the hardest time putting the "skin" back on at the end, specifically lining up those two holes at the fold into the mini notches. ☺️👍🏽

just replaced the battery myself thanks to your video instead of buying a new one like my wife suggested. thank you for the video, feels great to fix it instead of throwing it out for a simple 15 minute problem. awesome video

Thank you for making this video. I am getting near to having battery failure and wanted to save the speaker. This was extremely helpful!

Very helpful. The sequential pattern made it a very smooth process. Many Thanks.

Very clear and easy to follow. Thanks for the instructions! (I even managed to not break the tabs on the end caps)

This is an excellent video - thank you! I want to note that there were key differences with my Charge 3; all the screws were the same diameter and length. The end caps each had 1 screw to remove and then twisting them off was very easy, no prying needed at all.

Just what I needed to get my charge 3 back to rocking! Thank you for this easy video.

Nice. Was easy. Pushing up the side before you turn it made it way easier. Thanks for your help 🔊

Just finished up the video and just finished up putting everything back together I have a brand new JBL speaker now thanks for the video 🙏🏼

Excellent video! I was able to replace my battery exactly as you described it. Thank you!

Thank you for the video, especially the first step of using flat screwdriver or blade to expose the cover screws

Thank you mygiguser for the relaxed tone and methodical way of replacing the battery. Well done. Your video + an Amazon battery saved me buying another speaker. My grill did not simply pop out. My hunch is that I have an updated design with the end caps slightly different from yours. I found two (2) notches left and right near the screws that needed prying gently around the 1:10 mark. Thanks again!

thanks for the video, just finished replacing my battery, works like a charm. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the easy to follow breakdown install and put back together ❤ My charge 3 gets heavy use and charges. Noticed battery life weakening and slight rattle through speakers. Ordered new battery ( found out my old battery was SWOLLEN !) New battery in and working good as new! Thank you for the video

I just changed mine, Thank you for this insightful video.

Brilliant! So easy to follow. Good man! 👍 Thanks.

Excellent video! The guitar picks worked GREAT! LOL

Nice work. Just replaced mine with no issues. Worth the effort versus cost to replace ratio.

I just removed the end by simply putting a guitar pick under each longer tab. No need to pry stuff under all four tabs trying hard to remove it... just put something small under the longer plastic tabs found on two sides to get it over the ridge, and twist the end off. It's actually designed to come off like this with zero damage.

Your video is great!!! Thank you very much. The most tricky thing is to open the side cap. it's easy to break the ridge.

Great video and very helpful. As you noted, there are some pitfalls. In fact, I've put together carburetors that were easier. Some units have more screws. But your instructions and demo were great. My JBL is back to its usual great sound. But next time, I'm going to purchase a new unit, maybe a BOSE.

Thank you. This video helped me fixed my Jbl. Awesome!👍

Thanks! This was a perfect video that saved me over $100!

Thanks. That made it super easy to do. I ordered the Charge 3 battery. Luckily I saw there is 2 different battery types. Charge 3 and Charge 3 2016.

Thanks. Battery changed! Old battery was swollen and scary looking; sound no longer fuzzy either. I used toothpicks to hold open the clips on the round end cap as I twisted it off. Clips didn't break.

Thank you for the video. It is very helpful! 👍

i found how twist it without breaking and open immediatelly. Its was fun and thank you for warning of weak material !

Many tks. I lost so many time to look for this video.

I see that there is a spot of glue under the speaker housing and after watching your vid I just lifted the circular housing to break free the spots of glue and twisted it off. Thanks for the Video!!!

Perfect demonstration video! It helped us out nicely! May God Allmighty Continue to Bless You!

thx dude this is the exact model i have. very well presented. Danke

Thank yuor for your clear explanation. It was usefull

Great video, I had a successful battery replacement while following it. The design of mine incorporated screws on the end instead of those plastic tabs that were broken so that part was a lot easier for me. Thanks!

Thank you! That helps heaps!

awesome video and worked a treat

Thanks, this video help me a lot

Many thanks. Very good to explication.

I got 'er done. Thank you for the video.

Me, sitting here with endcaps off, waiting for you to finish, so I know next step. 😂😂😂 No worries. I can wait.

Thank you sir for help me to fix it by myself 🙏👍

TY Nice video. Ordered a battery today.

Thank you for this video. It was very useful. Now my jbl charge 3 has a new life span. 😂

Make sure to emphasize the correct end to remove. Other than that it was perfect. Thanks

Thanks. Really helped me get started taking the cover off. The rest was pretty easy. I did notice that my replacement batter is 6000mAh while the original was 6200mAh. Hope that won’t mess anything up. It seems to be working!

cheers mate, where did you get that mat you are working on?

Thank you!

Thanks for this!! 🎶🎵🎶

Thank you, Sir, you saved me $100.

I did exactly what you did with the exact same tools, including the guitar picks! Thank you so much! You saved my party nights with my friends!

Thank you ❤

Great video, thanks a lot! Love the accent :D

Thank you

Thank you so much

Muchas gracias!!! Bateria remplazada!!!

Nice job. We do repair JBL for living.

helped me, thanks two clicks broken altho but ok :)

When you're trying to get those end caps off, you need to use thin picks to hold the tabs while you twist. No breakage needed.

Hi good day is it possible to by pass the batteries and connect it directly to power cord? If yes can please share some video regarding on how to

Thanks a lot :)

Is there a way to check the health of the battery? my charge 3 still has a acceptable battery life when i only play music but when I use it a a powerbank for my phone it drains really fast without charging my phone all that much

Thanks I did it 😊

Good video I barely used my charger 3 and It stop charging

Hi how are things? I am trying to see how to somehow replace that dark and shiny sector that holds the central part of the membrane, which is like an area of ​​metal or sheet metal. At certain frequencies they vibrate because they are loose and they lack that. I don't know if it's a ring made of some material, or just glue of some kind. That sound drives me crazy when it lights up like a bee passing near my ears. Bzzzz bzzzzz. If you have information on this, I hope you can help me. Thank you very much for your time.

Stramm.

got it open, but then the first two screws completely stripped when i tried to remove them :( i don't see how i'm going to get those out now.

Thank you! Can you provide a link to buy a battery?

Im pretty sure i just lost both my hands, wrists, and a shoulder trying to get the side thing off (even with a ton of tools n wedging and everything) after a little break to calm down i yanked out most of the wedging thingies and gave it one more try and mygod she finally opened (im just happy that i opened the right side lol, if i had screwed that up I'd have tossed the whole thing in a lake)

Whr to buy the battery?

I used a hair dryer to heat cup , it came out effortesly

Kagaling mo 👍

If the battery is low and it can't hold a charge for a long and needs to be replaced can it be sent back to the company jbl to get a new battery or do you have to do that yourself?

Though my Charge 3 is slightly different I was good except the part where you have to remove the passive radiator to get to the battery plug. It is one solid rubber ring that had one black screw but it won't budge. Tried prying a flat screwdriver under it, a paint can opener it's on super solid. Frustrating to get this far only to be stopped in my tracks. Any suggestions. It has the 6000/22.2Wh battery. Got the right one but hit the wall!! No screws to open outer cover just used the flat screwdriver and the paint can tip and it had brackets.

After I took the sides off, the bass stopped working completely. Still sound when I play music but no bass at all. Do you have any idea about what I should do?

Does anyone know the battery part number or model ??

I've changed the battery, it worked normally for 4-5 hours, but it suddenly stopped working, I opened it again and reconnected the wire, it started to work. Again it worked 4-5 hours and same happened. I think the battery is good, after 10 hours working its on second light (from forth). I think wire connection is bad, after reconnecting it starts to work from the same light point. have you ever had such problem and how did you solve?

"and that's how easy it is" 😂

So I replaced my battery but it won't charge all the way till all lights are on, it was on the charger for like 2 hours. What do I do, I was sent a second battery do I try that one?

0:15 it's weird hearing it cause im using same speaker

what battery do you recomend to buy?

will it still be waterproof after replacing the battery?

Ich hab gesehen es gibt 2 ausführungen an Batterien 😢 Welche brauch ich denn nun? Hab auch die rote wollte sie aber nicht unnötig zerbasteln Danke

Mine will charge but will go dead in 3 to 5 minutes. Also when it’s plugged in the speaker gets crackly sometimes. He this because of the battery?

Where i buy this battery .? If you have some solutions?

What you called that pad?

How to run the jbl charge 3 with out battery sir, only charger or power bank only..very expensive the battery..

Best place to buy replacement battery?

HAHAHA! Fucking hell. I took off the wrong side and was struggling with taking it off for about 20 minutes or longer... LOL

Where can I buy the replacement battery?

Where do you buy the new battery? Can you paste de link ?

Check the connection on the motherboard where the battery connects. Mine was loose. I glued it. Problem solved.

MY CHARGE 3 DOES NOT HAVE THOSE FIRSTS SCREWS. I ALMOST BROKE IT. MY HAVE SOME PLASTIC TO PULL OFF BUT STRAIGHT (carefully not to break them)

Where can we buy the battery replacement? Can we have the link...

Where can I get a new battery?thanks
