How to replace your JBL Charge 3 battery
Replacing the battery in your JBL Charge 3 Bluetooth speaker is straightforward if you take care and have the right tools. The steps below apply to all Charge 3 models - minor design variations don’t affect the overall process.
Important: Opening the speaker may reduce its waterproof protection, so make sure all seals and covers are correctly re-seated when reassembling.
Step 1 - Remove the outer cover:
Turn the speaker upside down and insert a lever tool beside the rubber base. Carefully lift the cover upwards, remove the two visible screws, then pull off the cover on both sides. Keep the screws somewhere safe.
Step 2 - Remove the side cap:
On the side with the Bluetooth button, remove any locking screws. Lift the tabs and twist gently to release the cap - this may take a little patience. Once removed, you’ll see the battery connector.
Step 3 - Disconnect the old battery:
Unplug the 5-core connector from the circuit board. Compare the wire colours and plug layout with your replacement battery to confirm compatibility.
Step 4 - Open the battery compartment:
Remove the screws holding the battery cover, lift the protective plate and loosen the inner screws beneath it. Carefully pull the old battery and cable out of the compartment.
Step 5 - Install the new battery:
Connect the white plug to the socket, making sure the cable sits neatly and doesn’t touch the passive diaphragm. Insert the new battery securely into the compartment.
Step 6 - Reassemble and test:
Reattach all covers and screws, aligning guide pins and seals correctly. Once fully reassembled, fully charge the speaker, then test that it powers on and holds charge normally.
Tip: Always use a compatible replacement battery designed for the JBL Charge 3. Dispose of your old battery responsibly at a local recycling centre.
