Just good luck trying to fix it, it's impossible to remove the battery, I spent about 6hrs trying to remove mine and had to throw it in the trash in the end. Now I have a brand new replacement battery that I have no use for.

I got a JBL flip 6 in last sale for around 7.5k, it’s the best in its range when you count the longevity. I have had flip3 before this and got its battery replaced at a local shop when it no longer lasted much. Could recommend boat too but I just feel the sound is not up to the mark

I’ve had two JBL Flips prior to getting the JBL Flip 3 and the only reason I had to replace the previous two was because of the damn micro USB connector getting messed up. The current JBL Flip has been rock solid for the past two and half years.

Using my flip 3 as I type this. It just doesn’t die. The red light will blink for hours lol, don’t think the battery has ever died on me. After a few days of blinking I go “Better charge it “.
