- In this tutorial I will show you how to replace your JBL charge 3 battery of the 2016 model (and newer) serial number starting with gg.
If your serial number doesn't start with gg watch this video: • JBL Charge 3 battery r...
This JBL didn't sound right, the sound was a bit crackling. The crackling sound was probably caused by dirt in the aux port. I noticed the swollen battery after opening the case.
After replacing the battery and cleaning the aux port the JBL sounds great.

For the 281,000 people who watched and didn't give a like, shame on you. Excellent video, thank you.
Haha, you're welcome!👍
This is the best way to do a how to video. No extra talking, just straight to the job. Thank you thank you!!!
This is the only tutorial I have viewed.
To the Creator. Brother the no nonsense straight forward approach is greatly appreciated. No dialog. The script is spot on. The handling of the fasteners is pro level. The warning or advice about different batteries for different years is fantastic!
Thank you ever so much for your efforts. Have a great day!
Thank you! good to hear that my video is appreciated. 👍
My JBL Charge 3 was a gift from my late son back in 2017. It comes with a free small rounded speaker. Waiting for the battery I ordered from our local online shopping Lazada here in the Philippines amounted to almost 6 hundred php pesos. I would cherish my JBL Charge 3 for the rest of my life.
Thank you so much for sharing the full detailed video. From our native language, maraming salamat! ♥
Huwag mong banggitin
What a nice gift. With a new battery you would enjoy it for a long time.
I think probably this is the BEST tutorial I have watched on this topic! No ofense to all the effort that other you tubers have put on their tutorials. But this one has everything you need to know and how to do it properly. Thank u! my JBL is rocking again because of your clarity and tips, without breaking a single piece from the speaker :)
Thank you so much Paula! Great that you managed to do it without damaging your JBL.
A comment like this makes my day.
@@SpareTimeWorkshop where did you buy the replacement battery?
@@waltermunar2523
different batteries are used in the charge 3. I would first take out the old battery and with the part number of the old battery. type it in to google and see where it can be ordered for your place of residence. check that the connector shape and the location of the red and black wires are the same. good luck
you can probably find it on amazon.
Adding to this comment to say I couldn’t agree more! Superb tutorial, I’m off to opening my JBL charge 3 and check what kinda battery I have in there! It’s been dying super fast lately, I hope changing the battery will help.. Thanks again for this video!
Thanks so much! Just done this and I feel pretty proud of myself👌👍
Terrific Video tutorial ..My Speaker was crackling from lack of power and battery life was 20 mins... I replaced the battery for $30 CAN and it took me 20 mins .. now my $200 speaker is like brand new.. thanks so much
Thank you, well done! I hope you can enjoy your repaired JBL for a long time.
Very good tutorial !! Thanks a lot ! my JBLcharge 3 was making a lot of cracking noises and I thought was the speakers were broken; therefore it was on my garage for 2years. I followed your video/instructions and opened it and saw the speakers were just fine then I decided buying the battery replacement. WOAH !!! It worked fantastic ! as it was brand new ! THANK YOU !!!! Greetings from California !
Thank you! I really appreciate your comment. Good to hear your jbl is working again. 💪
Where can we buy battery

@@SpareTimeWorkshop hm .. a little question . my charge 3 seems to discharge very quickly but at the same time it won t get fully charged . it stacks at 4->5 lines forever and the spot gets hot . so its the battery itself or the charger conectors are broken ?
@@meade918r
I think your battery is bad. but I can't tell you that for sure. Poor charging can also be caused by a bad battery. which part of your JBL gets hot?
So happy to find this video. My speaker started to make crackling noise and would die 30 minutes after fully charging it. Following your instructions I noticed my battery was swollen and was able to find a new one on Amazon for $20. This saved me a lot of money and my speaker is now restored. Thanks for your awesome video!!
A little late, but, was your speakers making like static noise when you volume up? Mine is doing that and the battery died, so Im trying to see if its only the battery, or something else
@@mourex22 Yes mine was making static noise and would look like it was fully charged but would die. Found out the battery was swollen. Replaced it all good.
@@PersianBolt512 ty for the fast response, ill order a new battery and see if that fixes the problem
@@mourex22and?
I was literally on my way to buy the charge 5, then I saw this video. Replaced my faulty battery in minutes!
Thanks for saving me 100 eur!
You're welcome. Well done.
A great technician takes his time and is thorough, you accomplished both in this video! One quick tip, I struggled holding two guitar picks, I cut a 1/8" by the legth of the pick and was able to slide this under the clips. That or somthing thin enough to go under the clips without stretching them too far. Great Job!
Thank you Mike!
best tutorial of all , one guitar pick one screwdriver, look it one time before & during , 20 mn later your job's done , & your JBL is back!!
thx! the iFixit guide seems to using a different hardware model where you need to take off 1 or 2 screws before removing the passive speaker on the side so this really helped
Le meilleur des meilleurs tuto. Très clair, sans commentaire, bien cadré, pas de temps perdu en blabla et image fixe.
This is great, thank you for taking the time to do this and film it precisely.
I followed your video, I changed the battery and everything it's working. Thank you very much!
Самый лучший разбор ,без слов и все четко и понятно,!!!!
Спасибо большое дружище!!!
Absolutely superb, easy to follow well paced and considered instructional video. Your hands never blocked the view of the action. I now have a freshly working JBL Charge 3 thanks to you. Thank you!
Thank you Andrew, great that I could help you with my video.
Excellent video. Replaced my battery easily with the help of this video. And talking is over-rated. Great job.
Nice job! Followed step by step. Thanks!
Gracias
Resumido sin palabrería al grano. Excelente. Tome su like buen hombre
Thanks for the video, very clear and precise. If you are doing this, make sure that the battery cables do not touch the diffuser, and to not break any clips (mesh panel and rubber underpanel). I made those mistakes but it works fine now :)
Thank you for sharing your experience! good tip. 👍
Perfect video! THANK YOU!! The battery I purchased on Amazon came with only the skinny metal flat end tool and a small phillips screwdriver. Both worked fine, but if you use the screwdriver be careful to keep that tool level on the screwhead, or it is easy to round out the screw head. Better to use a little better screwdriver if you have one. Getting the tabs to stay up so you can twist the speaker cap off was the hardest part, and that was pretty easy lol. Just need something additional that has a skinny flat end if your battery kit doesn't come with two. Mine didn't have any guitar picks, but I used the flat ended metal tool that came with the battery for one tab, and the end of a small paint scraper to hold the other tab up. Great no-fluff video. Well done!
Thank you Willy, nice that you wanted to share your experience. 👍
Sweet! Thank you! Mine came apart and together with ease using your tutorial!
Thank you.
Thanks a lot!!! Just replaced mine cool and easy watching your video, and it costed me just 24 euro and 10 minutes 🙂
I'm not mechanically inclined but I successfully replaced my old battery with a new one, much thanks to this vid! 👍🏾
Well done! Im pretty clumsy but i'll leave that out of the video. Haha 👍
This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you for making it so clear. I wish I’d found your video First! And thanks for saving folks who are willing to try a lot of money, and giving them something to smile about the rest of the day!
Please can u share the link where u bought the replacement battery from?
wow, looks easy to replace the battery
thx bro
Огромное спасибо! Все получилось, а главное не надо разбиать всю колонку, как это показывают в других гайдах. Thx!
Не за что
Thank you. This post was very helpful!
I have two extra screws at the end of this, but it seems to be working fine now. Thank you for this video. I would have never figured out the end cap coming off to get to the battery cable
Thanks so much for this - just changed the battery in mine and the instructions were perfect
Thank you. 👍
Nailed it. Thank you for the step by step.
You're welcome. 👍
Thank you for this video, was excellent, I can change the battery and I save a lot money, greetings from Medellin Colombia
You're welcome!
good to hear it's helpful.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Neat and useful without tons of gibberish (no offense to others), great tutorial and thank you!
Perfect Video for this. My Charge 3 bought in 2016 got a new lease on life!! Still Kicking and looked much rougher than this on the inside with a TON of rust on the speaker frames from saltwater use. Ill be sure to buy another JBL after seeing the abuse this has taken on the inside.
Brilliant - really nice video. Worked fine for me! ❤
Great video. Saved my JBL.
Thank you, good to hear it's working again.
Great video, Thank you!
Perfect how to video! Appreciate it!
Thank you, you're welcome!
Gonna test it out!! Great video
Thank you! Good luck.
Tutorial altamente recomendable, precisas instrucciones y por sobre todo es valiosa información que permite seguir disfrutando del parlante . Agradecido por tu vídeo.
Gracias
Good ASMR sounds
Thank you for the upload ✌️
The BEST tutorial EVER! 👍. All I needed was a little WD40 and I got all the screws out, battery replaced and only lost 1 screw! 🤣🤣🤣. Thank you!
Haha, well done.
(almost) everything is better with WD40!
Wd 40 actually doesn't loosen screws. It's a lubricant. You would use a penetrating oil such as pb blaster or liquid wrench to name the 2 common brands found everywhere .
@@westsidedavie Regardless, without the several squirts of WD40 and the patience to let it do it’s thang, I never would have been able to loosen those tight screws! I’m grateful❤️
@@westsidedavie
According to WD-40 itself, it is also a penetrating oil to loosen stuck screws.
In my case a well-fitting screw driver was enough for these JBL screws.
@@westsidedavie soz hard
Thank you Sir. Great explanation.
Thank you! Super clear and easy :)
You're welcome, Mauro.
great video sir! the video with the red JBL must of broke every tab on that speaker. I think your video was clear and easy to understand. Thank you are the MAN!
Thank you. Glad you liked the video.
Awesome! thanks for the video.
You're welcome.
20 bucks, 10 screws and 10 min of work and you good to go for another 5 to 6 years. amazing product!
Your smarter than calculator bro !!!! Thank you so much for this !!!!
Thank you very much!
Vielen Dank für das Video, danach habe ich mich getraut den Akku selbst zu wechseln
👍👍👍👍👍
Gern geschehen, gut gemacht! 👍
Very useful toturial thnx a lot...
Thank you for this vidéo 😮❤.
Interessante en leuke video!
It worked! Thank you
it works for me, thanks
excellent!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this.
You're welcome. 👍
Thank You!!
Thank you for the tutorial. I bought my speaker pre-owned & it looks like the previous owner tried to replace the battery but failed miserably. The screws that hold on to the mesh cover were broken off I didn’t even need to unscrew them. Pieces of plastic holding onto the screws from the battery cover were also missing 🤦🏻♂️ My speaker is no longer “waterproof” well that’s what I get for paying $30 😂 bought it around 2017
You're welcome, too bad the peaker is damaged. If the waterproof housing is damaged, it can also cause side noises.
Thank you brother
I'm so thankful you made this video, mine has suddenly been cracking and dying almost immediately after charging. But do you have a link to the new battery?
Thanks for your comment. I don't have the link to the replacement battery anymore. I removed the old battery first and used the partnumber written on the battery to order the right replacement.
Make sure that the black and red wires are in the same place on the connector.
Good luck, let me know if it worked!
Outstanding video! Thank you!!
Thank you Larry!
Just completed installation on my two JBL Charge speakers. Watched your video again before attempting, then followed along. Worked just fine, really appreciate the video, made my work seem like you were standing over my shoulder showing me what to do. Much obliged!!
@@larrylemarie8662 You're welcome, nice to read that it was helpful to you.
que buen video amigo muchas gracias, voy a probar de hacer lo mismo con el mio. Se agradece, saludos
gracias, suerte con la reparacion.
Great job, movie very useful
Thanks! I combined this video with another and eventually got it! However, I have 4 leftover silver screws and I can't figure out where they go! Since the unit is working (and holding a charge again), I won't worry about it. 😃My model (bought in 2020) had a hidden screw under the "Charge3" rubber flap in the back. After I removed THAT screw, i could get to the battery! Would definitely rather pay $18 for replacement battery than $120 for a replacement unit!
Thank you! 😊
You're welcome! 👍
I really need this
Thanks!
Thank you so much! 👍
Life saver!
Merci , pour la vidéo et c'est très utile ! Merci. .
Great tutorial thanks. I followed each step and it worked. However, the battery will not charge so back to square one with the original problem. 🤦🏼♂️
Great video used a credit card instead of guitar pic all I had !
Thanks
Thank you. A credit card is a good alternative.👍
Thanks God... This is a very good video. Where can I buy the battery?
Thank you! I appreciate it. different batteries are used. I would remove the old battery first. and use the part number written on the old battery to order a new one.
When ordering, make sure that the red and the black wires are in the same place in the connector.
Thanks
Good video but I guess I have a different model because the connectors were different. The side speakers had screws on them for me and every screw seemed to have had loctite on them so they ended up getting ruined.
Thank you, too bad you got another model and couldn't use the video.
It seems that the other model is more difficult to open
Oils u do one on the Bushnell wingman gps . Like the jbl one ty Mr keen
Good one 👍
Thank you. 👍
The battery was so swollen that several of the screw holes lips cracked or broke once I started releasing pressure from the cover. Best to apply pressure to the battery cover until all the screws are loosened or rotate around the cover loosening each screw a bit so that the pressure from the battery is released slowly and evenly for each screw.
Hi Robert, Thank you for sharing your experience and for the good advice. 👍
same happened to me. After reassembling the battery housing I saw the cracks which i feared would interfere with the waterproof rating. I looked online to see if JBL sells new battery covers, they do not, so I took matters into my own hands and just put super glue in all the cracks to fully waterproof it. While I know that means I wont be able to open the housing again I'm perfectly ok with that.When my new battery goes bad I'll just buy a new speaker. The first one gave me a good 3.5 years. Heres to 3.5 more!
I had this problem too. Thankfully only one screw mount broke. Pressure while unscrewing helped
Oh wow thank you,
You're welcome
Thank you ..I have a new battery now....wow
La qualità di jbl è impressionante, non si sente uno scricchiolio... Adoro il mio jbl c3
Thanh you big big big thank you ,I did it🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well done! 👍
Une grand merci depuis la France, mes vis étaient très grippé, heureusement un coup de wd 40 fait l'affaire. Et l'ancienne batterie était aussi très gonflé !
Tried to follow this. But I guess I have a different speaker cause it definitely didn't come out like your one. Luckily for me i haven't used it in a while anyway cause it stopped working. But now I'm gonna need a new case and battery if I do fix it. 😅
There are idd 2 different models of the jbl charge 3, the video of the other model is in the description.
What a shame you damaged your speaker.
@@SpareTimeWorkshop Thankyou, like I said luckily it's an old spare at this point. Didn't think about fixing it till recently at this point it's an experiment il check out your other videos Thankyou
How it works ? The green cell do the job as the original ? Im in between green cell and patona . Which is mord accurate ? Thanks
The green cell works fine. And fits nicely in the housing. I think it's about the same as the original.
I have no experience with Patona.
Thank you for the tutorial. Would you happen to know where to get the plastic battery cover? Mine was completely cracked and broken off by the swollen battery.
Mine was broken too. I couldn't find a replacement then. But I was able to fix it with superglue.
@@SpareTimeWorkshop thank you, cheers!
Hey. Can anything other than guitar picks be used?
el costo de la batería para charger 3 y como la consigo
I don’t have the black strap around my batter replacement, it’s that necessary for safety or anything?
I don't think it makes much difference. It prevents your battery from sliding in the housing. You can fill it with other tape to prevent sliding.

I got all the way to the battery casing and the screws stripped 😢 I can't get it opened
hi bro my jbl speaker model is gg0301, wich battery do you recomend? thanks!
Hi, different batteries are used. I would remove the old battery first. and use the part number written on the old battery to order a new one.
When ordering, make sure that the red and the black wires are in the same place in the connector.
Where can I buy a replacement battery? 🔋
I've changed the battery, it worked normally for 4-5 hours, but it suddenly stopped working, I opened it again and reconnected the wire, it started to work. Again it worked 4-5 hours and same happened. I think the battery is good, after 10 hours working its on second light (from forth). I think wire connection is bad, after reconnecting it starts to work from the same light point. have you ever had such problem and how did you solve?
No, unfortunately I have no experience with that.
you can try to reset your JBL. (hold the plus button and play button until your JBL turns off)
Or update the filmware with the Connect+ app. I have never done it myself. but maybe you are lucky and it works.
good luck. let me know if it worked.
How this my jbl sir 8months i use this. Its not working now if i charge. Ligths blink2x already i charge 3hr only one lights.. .
Sorry I do not understand your question.
Hi, how do I check if my batery it's decomposed? Thanks
Indications that your battery is bad.
-Short battery life
-crackling sound in combination with the dimming of the lights on the buttons.
-the battery is swollen.
Crackling sound could also be a broken speaker or dirty AUX port.
What if the charging port is bad?
