Brilliant how-to video. This is what they should all be like - clear, concise and to the point, and no wasted time! Many thanks.
Thanks so much! A new speaker $60+... your clear guidance and a replacement battery bought online saved for $45... keep up the great work and all the best to you and your family!
The best DIY instructional video I have watched, you explained everything well and you edited it well. Thanks for a spot on guidance, from an old grandpa, thanks again…
I just performed this repair this evening. Your instructions were very clear and the video gave a very good perspective on seeing where things were. I added two tools to the mix. First, I used a small flathead screwdriver to hold up the grill as I was initially peeling that off. That helped give a little lift/leverage. Second, a small pair of needlenose pliers was helpful in pulling away the cut glue and putty, as well as to pick up one or two of those very small screws. Thanks for making this video. It felt good to be able to repair something rather than having to buy a new one. Hopefully it charges and I'm good to go!
Unfortunately, I have to report that the repair did not work. It won’t charge and therefore won’t power up.
I have to go back in again and see what’s going on. Maybe the thin ribbon cable got bent.
I am taking it all apart again to see if I can figure out why the speaker won’t work on battery. If I plug it into AC
, as if charging, it powers up and works fine. I’m going to try recharging while it’s disassembled to see if it was simply not charged enough to work. I’m using a Cameron Sino battery CS-JMF300SL. Maybe I have the wrong battery?
@@peternelson4630 my flip 3 battery is also not working properly. It boots up but the battery doesnt last long no matter how much i charge it. and the led turns red.
So i just plug in the charger and use it it works well like that
Excellent step by step guide. Now hoping the new battery performs well.
Great video, managed to replace my battery - thanks! I had several screws with stripped heads that wouldn’t budge and I had to break off the plastic case around them - so if anyone is thinking of attempting this maybe see if you can actually take your Flip apart first before you buy the battery.
Pay attention to the length of the machine screws as you take the Flip 3 apart. The passive radiator machine screws are slightly longer than the machine screws that hold the body parts together. If you try to use the longer screws on the body parts they bottom out before they snugly hold the parts together. As you remove the screws during disassembly consider labeling where they came from. It still was an excellent DIY video with great closeups of the disassembly and reassembly.
Thanks for this video. Was a little fight with the existing silicon. But done within an hour no missing screws.
very well explained, thank you from Brazil!
Awesome video. Just did the battery install on my Flip 3. Followed the video while doing it. Made the job so easy. Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Glad to hear. Thank you for your feedback 👍
Same 👍👍👍
Thank you for your sharing how to do the battery replacement. To give my speak new life.
Great tutorial. I'll be doing this for my moms Flip 3.
Best instructions! Thank you! Success.
Helpful with clear guidelines, thanks
Brilliant video...It helped a lot...
Thanks so much for taking the time to make it.
Awesome video ! Step by step instructions which made the replacement extremely easy ! Thank you .
delicate process but it worked! thank you!
You're so helpful to us.. thank you.. ❤️
Very good instruction. Thanks!
Thank you for this great guide! :)
Thanks great video. I was having issue trying to remove old battery and cable, simply cut the sucker. easier to clean the hole after.
LOL
Great tutorial! 👍Thank you! 🙂
That’s very cool ! Thank you !
best video , thank you my lord
Vielen Dank, hat mir sehr geholfen! Sehr gut erklärt!
This video was very clear and instructive. I was able to follow it without any issue, and the replacement went smoothly. However, I didn't have any hot glue, nor RTV, so I used rubber cement. This seemed to work fine, but I am getting some resonance at high volume from one of the passive speakers, the side where the putty was in place. Could the resonance be due to improper plugging of this hole?? If so, I can disassemble and add a layer of RTV or hot glue.
Thanks!
You did a great job explaining and visually showing what needs to be done. Wished you would of had a link on where to buy battery.
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback!
Link to the battery can be found in the first comment.
설명 잘 봤습니다
고맙습니다
Thank you😊
ขอบคุณครับ
Thank you >
Cheers great video ba.
Good video. My model was slightly different with the access to the battery on the end and a ribbon cable in between. My batteri was also very swollen and impossible to pull out. Had to drill (non pointy hss drill to not damage battery) a 6mm hole to the other end of the battery compartment which could be accessed from the other end of the unit and push it out with an allen wrench like I noticed someone do on a newer model with better access. Got the job done in case someone struggles with the same issue.
Thanks for the info! Very informative.
Thank you
Thanks a lot !!!!
Thanks for the tutorial. I replaced the battery, but now the LEDs and the rest of the buttons don t work. I can t adjust the volume, can t see how much battery I have left, nor I cannot adjust the volume. Any advice please?
Thanks
Amazing
thanks
How likely is the battery to catch fire while prying at it? My jbl flip 3 battery is inclosed and only accessible from one end. Obviously I don't mean pry, pry. But still, just curious because it's in there pretty snuggly with the adhesive and I'm not completely sure if the old battery is swollen or not. Should I bother with the heat gun method or no?
wow, that is a complicated speaker............ thanks for saving me from a disaster
My box is the same as yours but it doesn't have these screws for the battery cover, what do I do?
This is the much easier type of JBL flip 3. Access to the battery is much better. Got new battery for about $10 but replacing will be more sophisticated than on your type...
the best of all videos
Nice
Do they have better ones that got more power.ok
Qual a marca dessa bateria amigo? Qual marca vc me recomenda?❤🤙🏻
Very good video. After I have installed the battery I can hear a lot of vibrations when I play music with deep basses. Could you suggest anything to overcome the issue? Thanks 😌
Hi, i suspect a wire is vibrating against the case and creates the noise when playing lots of bass.
Ahh 3 of the first 4 set of screws are locked up and will not turn at all. I don't want to strip them anymore. Any ideas??
Does anyone know if its possible to change the charging port as mine is broken?
My JBL speaker 3 and his battery is 6wire ,how can buy this battery
I get that these are sealed to make them splash/water resistant..........but all these kinds of tech could be designed to that the battery is located just beneath the surface so that the sealed cover can be easily removed and the battery easily replaced so that the cover can then be easily resealed and securely re-placed. I wonder why they don't do that routinely?
(That's a rhetorical question. ; ) Meanwhile, we have overflowing landfills full of toxic stuff that will virtually never biodegrade.
Can we run jbl flip 3 without battery? If yes, How?
And
If No , any other options?

This is where I found the replacement battery on Amazon (associates link)
Do all flip 3 models use this same battery or are there different versions? I want to buy the correct one, great vid thanks!
dead link :(
Bro my jbl flip 3 I'm also exchange the battery but, volume increase by doing it turn of. Pls how to solve?
I wanted to ask you what kind of symptoms did your Flip 3 have before you realized that the battery needed to be replaced. This is what my Flip 3 is doing.... I charge overnight to full, but the charge only last about 5 minutes then it goes dead. When I plug in my micro usb it looks like only 1 or 2 of the 5 charging lights are used. Also, the power works for ON, but I cannot power OFF unless I hold ALL 4 buttons (phone, volume up & down, and bluetooth) on the grill down at the same time. I am hoping that the battery strength or charging capabilities is causing the issue with the power on and off button problem for me. Thank you in advance for any insight that you may have.
Hi, I could imagine that a bad battery is causing the problems you experience. Although the powering off situation is a bit odd.
I replaced mine because of short battery life and intermittent audio drops.
@@MegaSafetyFirst I just replaced the battery and everything is working fine. I did run into a little challenge... The replacement battery had wires that were thicker than the original. Putting the bass radiator speaker back on, when testing the bass with the volume up.... The rubber speaker cone was hitting against the wires making a fluttering sound. I had to reopen and make the opening for the wires going from the battery to the connector larger. Making sure the wires were below the top of the opening solved the fluttering noise. The new battery solved my issues.
Thank you for your video and comments!
Great to hear that it is working again!
Thank you very much for your feedback and for sharing your experience, especially with the thicker wires!
About how much is the battery.ok
Wow
Hi, great video , I have the same flip 3 as you and my problem is it won't charge I had it plugged in over night and all that happens is the first white light flashes but that's all. Is this a symptom of a bad battery or something else ? Thanks
Hi, that sounds very much like a bad battery. I’ve had the same problem with mine.
@@MegaSafetyFirst Cool - thanks for the quick reply . I'll order a replacement battery. 👍
You’re welcome, good luck with the replacement 👍
@@MegaSafetyFirst Hi, just thought I'd update on the battery replacement and I'm happy to say it was a success! My Flip 3 now works perfectly . I bought the same battery as you (Cameron Sino) for just £16.99 from here in the UK. I also used a hot- glue gun as you did. The other opening tools I already had from fixing phones, iPad etc. On a side note , I'd suggest , anybody else undertaking this to buy a good set of screwdrivers it will make it so much easier (Philips 00 is what's required).I have a Stanley Fat Max electronic set in my toolbag (although I'm a carpenter by trade ). Thanks again for the video my friend. Great work👍stay safe .
Glad to hear! Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. I appreciate it. 👍👍
Easy
my battery cover wanted to come of by itself as I was removing the screws, does that mean it's inflated?
Very likely. When the battery is ok, it should not push on the cover.
Does the battery feel puffy? Or does it feel firm?
Battery kha se milegi ye
Price of battery
What is the last bond you used?
I was using RTV sealant - that’s just what I had around Any type of silicone sealant will probably work.
I cannot open the battery compartment in the middle. The plasticis one whole thing that cannot be opened. Don't get it...
JBL FLIP 3 and Flip 4 has the same battery but the wires are connected opposite ;)
Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) batteries do not like to be stored at full or empty charge for extended time, if not using any electronic device for extended time try to store them at 50% charge (storage voltage) and the Li-Po will last much longer..
When you purchased your new battery does the battery come charged or do you have to charge the battery.
It was charged
Thanks. I replaced it. But now for some reason the passive radiator on the battery hook up side vibrates at higher volumes during bass notes.I wonder why.
Hi, could it be that the radiator hits a cable?
@@MegaSafetyFirst
I took it apart and it appears it's not but that's what I thought it could have been also..Looks like there's enough clearance especially because the radiator inner dome gives the wires clearance.
Good to know. Thank you for your feedback!
Do you have any idea what else could cause the problem?
@@MegaSafetyFirst
I'm wondering if one or both of the 2 little speakers are giving out now?
I checked for any wear or tear but didn't see any.
If you open the speaker, is it still waterproof? Because I don't want water damage
My guess is that’s where the hot glue comes into play.
aparently I have a different revision, my flip3 doesnt have the removable back that gives batterey acsess
same its the se version or the impossible to fix version
@@nzj3vx seems impossible.
U have the jbl flip 3 tl model
It is a bit different and hard to remove the battery
@@Heman_23 oh well
just built my own instead. sounds better anyway.
@@DJGeosmin ohh thats great
How long do batteries last
I was told like 1 to 2 years. What did you find with yours ??
I used one for over three years before the battery degraded noticeably. But I guess it can vary.
I even still use a JBL Charge one, which is over ten years old and it still has the original battery.
My power button doesn't work
Where did you get the battery?
I posted a link in the first comment above.
Nope. There is no removeable piece that exposes the whole battery in my Flip 3. I got a long way. Tried to get the battery out but it was too stuck I tried using the wires to p ull it out but they broke off and I tried w needle nose pliers and got sparks and smoke. done
Where do I buy the battery?
Did you see the link in the very first comment?
Once you unplugged the battery. And switched to taking off the top near charging port you lost me. And yes i have a Flip 3. There is no big gap to get under the port like that on mine. And no indication that it can split in half like that. Its solid platic with no seem.
So I tried this, the battery was stuck, and now I can’t get it out! Advice???
Hi Jessica, what I use to remove the old battery is an Issesamo - it's a thin metal prying tool to dismantle iPhones, iPads etc. Just slip it under the battery and work your way around it slowly and it will loosen up. They're are about £5 or so pounds on eBay/Amazon. Hope that helps you 🙂
1 months using my battery dead😪
my jbl flip 3 speaker charges good but it the battery goes dead after a while & it makes a static noise when im playing music
First guess is that the battery is damaged
@@MegaSafetyFirst so you think if i buy the battery everything will work fine
In case you feel confident to take it apart then I’d suggest to do that first.
Check the battery and see if its outside foil looks bloated. That is a clear indication for a bad battery.
In case it is bloated, order a new battery afterwards. That way you don’t waste money.
@@MegaSafetyFirst how do i know if the battery is bloated?
The battery would feel puffy when you squeeze it. Like there is some air in it.
Awesome video but what a PITA. 4 different micro screw sets to get it apart, than the resonanator vibrates funny, n I have take it back apart, sigh🙄🤬
he did not tell you...different screws!
Made in Japan.....Will see how they do about battery if they see this !! Oh God!
My jbl flip 3 doesn't have the option to remove the cover that exposes the battery. Goddammit.
Yeah, I think there are different hardware revisions out there. Some do disassemble easier than others.
Nos a passziv hangszoro bele fog erni abba a trutyiba amit belenyomtal nagyobb hangeron,illetve valoszinuleg ki is fuj a tolto csatinal mert az akksi felil is ki kene nyomni…
Did anyone notice the damage while opening the cover?🤪😂
another car body shop More Less.....hahaha Broken tab here and there for sure....50% after replace batteries kkkk
JBL should design battery compartment right outside and easy to replace...not take a chance to broken tabs like this...bad engineer...bad design...Need to change or other Company will take a chance and improve this points.....I will buy other brand ex Bose knew and did it......OK common JBL do somethings if you see this video and my comment!JBL DO SOMETHINGS....JBL ENGINEERS WAKE UP..Customers already see your weak points
Holy cow….. easier to just throw the Flip 3 and buy a current JBL
Easier but much more expensive. I actually found the process kind of fun.
