Beautiful ❤

Do you know why it is extremely difficult to remove some of the screws ?

After 9 years, my anker needed an new battery. Should work for the next 9 years now. ;-) Thanksfor the video🤠

Thank you. I found your short video very useful as I wouldn’t have known how to dismantle the speaker to fit new battery. 👍

too bad you skept the step to remove the battery, great video thank you

Thank you! I was able to replace the battery in my speaker. Works great!

I carefully followed your instructions, including removing the keypad, which later you said wasn't necessary. You should edit that part out. The connector to the keypad is very fragile and all the tabs broke off the circuit board. Now I have a trashed speaker which worked fine before as long as it was plugged into a power source. 😢

Many thanks for this. I was disappointed when my A3143 stopped working/holding charge as it’s a nice speaker. I’ve replaced my battery with an £18 one from Amazon. Had to swap the white plastic connector on the battery lead as the one I bought had a connector that was slightly too big. All seems good now 👍

How on earth did you get the top cover back on? lol

Thanks for creating the video, it would have been great if you'd have shown the battery removal, in case there is any complications to overcome! I really appreciate your time doing filming the video, as I now don't have to buy a new speaker!

Thx, didn’t want to trash the speaker and googled this

I bought one of these in 2017 and it lasted me until WW3. Great company. I'm going to try and replace the battery.

Great, with your help I was able to open the case and extract the battery. But I was unable to find a replacement battery with the same connector here in Germany. That's a real pity.

Thanks for sharing Edward. You saved me from breaking it.

Your the best!

Maybe I missed it, but how long did it take them to get it back to you?

Thanks for posting this! Mine has the same damage and about to send it off. I feel better about the cost now!!

Nice one mate, spot on video, these speakers are fab but our battery is same as yours and past its best. Found your vid here and much appreciate you posting it. Thanks from the UK.

My Anker blinks when plugged into the recharge port but won't turn on. What do you think is the problem? Thank you for the help

Hmmm... bought my A3143 in 2017. There are a few omitted steps after removing the circuit board screws. There is an integrated plastic battery bracket secured by 8 tiny screws that also hold the 2 speakers in place. This is a bit more complicated task. Given the skipped steps in video and $20+ cost for reputable batteries, I too question the cost/time justification vs buying a new speaker. Regardless, I do appreciate the video Ed.

The battery pack looks like 2 18650s wrapped together. These cells seem to be everywhere atm, from vape mods to e-scooter battery packs. The branded batteries are very good ime, but be careful of cheap imitations from China, as they are bloody dangerous. As in 'blow up and burn your house down' dangerous! Not good. For the sake of a couple of quid/dollars more for the decent batteries. Samsung, LG, Eleaf etc make good ones. Any reputable vape shop will sell decent 18650s.

@Ed, u da man. Just what I'm looking for. Bless, bruvva. Don't want to throw it as its a handy little speaker with a decent sound, for the price bracket. Thanks again.

so i going need a 5v battery my transmitter 12v

Good info!

i think these speakers must work without batteries because battery are very expensive

Amazing speaker I bought mine like 5 years ago and still sounds amazing but I also need to change the battery

Thank you.

Thanks to your tutorial I have been able to replace the batteries (costed to me on ebay 10 €). More than the 50 € saved for buying a new speaker I am really sorry to through away appliance every 2 years, I believe is a crazy economy, unsustainable for the environment... (to connect the batteries I have used just metal cable and electrical tape). Many many thanks! very generous (also this one is very useful even if in german ruclips.net/video/kbq78y32K3U/видео.html)

Do you have a video where you crash your drone?

Nice!a lot of tree😁

Thanks from Argentina!!

Thanks! Here’s another video, in German but it helps. There are some important steps shown. ruclips.net/video/kbq78y32K3U/видео.html

Or the repair your old one at cost, make 160 on you and make the profit reselling it as refurbished. They do it in Canada. Smart business. More profit

This video is close to being very helpful and I thank you for making it. That said, it could be improved in a few ways: The lighting is poor and there's little contrast so it's hard to actually make out the orientation of the speaker as you're working on it. Especially bc it looks different for you once you've taken the top off but advise that we not do the same. And the sharp viewing angle doesn't make the speaker internals very visible. It seems that you skipped the part where you take the battery out. I managed to get mine out but not without breaking one of the retaining clips that held it in place. I'm hoping that's not a problem when I go to put it back together. Not related to the video, but I don't know if it's worth spending $18 to replace the battery on a $30 speaker but perhaps I can put an AC power supply in place so I don't have to deal with charging batteries anymore

I have had nothing but good things to say about DJI and their service. If they are sending refurbished units great!

DJI almost always sends out refurbished drones... You most likely have a different drone

Damn I need to charge more 😂

How did you get in touch with them? That is a great price. I need to send mine in for repair.

Very good video l like 👍👍👍😊

Nicely done.. I have the same speaker problem but the exact battery in Canada costs around 40 dollars. Which makes this not worth fixing. However, I found another video by chance of an Indian dude who says old cellphone batteries are best replacement for these. I have 3 cellphones lying around the house.. let the adventures begin! :D Here's the link to the video.. instructions are in Hindi. ruclips.net/video/2bYG51rcR64/видео.html

My Mavic Air 2 broke exactly at the same spot. Looks like a week point. Tried the helix and it flew itself right into the tree. Snapped on the 2nd day. Heartbroken 🙁

How did you reconnect the white connector between the top cover (with power button etc.) and the main device?

Thanks for the video! The exacts same thing happened to me and I broke 2 of the arms and motors so I will be sending it in for repair as well hopefully it won’t be too expensive I’m expecting around $200?

Excellent video, informative, I learnt a few things. Thanks.

Great Video!!! I make Mavic air 2 videos to!!!
