Need a new battery for the JBL Charge 3? Watch this video on how to replace it. It is relatively easy, except getting the right passive radiator removed without damaging the clips. Enjoy, and post questions, if you have any!

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.

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.

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.

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.
@mygiguser3 ай бұрын
They call that passive radiator. It is just a rubber membrane that is stiffened by a piece of plastic. If it is loose you can glue it back on, maybe with hot glue? Buzzing noise is often caused by loose wires behind that passive radiator. Especially those flat band cables make a sound like that.

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.
