    • Remove eight 10 mm screws from the speaker mount using a Phillips #1 screwdriver (Phillips #0 can strip the screw heads).

    • Insert a spudger in the gap between the speaker mount and speaker body to remove the speaker mount.

    • Be careful not to damage the rubber gasket around the speaker mount plate.

    • Use your hand to remove the speakers. Some variants have a wire from the speaker to the board, some rest on contact pins.

    • Remove the 10 mm screw that is holding the motherboard in place using a Phillips #1 screwdriver. Some variants have 2 screws.

    • Carefully remove the bluetooth antenna wire from the left of the board. It pulls up without much pressure.

    • Flip up the motherboard to expose the battery.

    • Use a nylon spudger to remove the battery from the speaker casing.

    • Caution: Do not use metal prying tools on a battery—these can puncture an unprotected battery, potentially causing a fire.

    • The battery is glued down so it may be difficult to remove.

    • Unplug the wire that connects the battery with the motherboard.

    • When replacing the battery, plug in the new battery where the old one was plugged in.

It would be nice to have the specifications of the battery so availability can be checked before disassembly.

Habe ihn mir mit 2 18650/3500mA Akkus von Temu selber gebaut. Lädt zwar jetzt länger und hält aber auch 20% länger. Dabei aufpassen und die Kabel an den Akkus wieder richtig anlöten. Wegen der Li-Ionen Ladeautomatik auf der Hauptplatine. Am Ende in einen passenden Schrumpfschlauch stecken und aufpassen das rundum kein Kurzschluss passieren kann.

Können Sie mir bitte sagen, welche Form die Kontakte eines 18650-Akkus haben müssen, um ihn neu zu löten?

Phillips #1 won't strip the screw like a #0 can.
