Thanks for the video. Looks very simple to change. Bought the jbl charge 5 and went from it lasting about 6 hours/ 6.5 hours or so on maxed volume to it lasting about 1.5 hours in less then a month. If I have the volume turned down lower sometimes I get an extra 30/ 40 mins play time out of it. Never seen a battery corrupt so fast in my life. Hoping once I replace it won’t happen again… Or at least for a while anyway.
Did you buy it brand new? I don’t think it’s normal for it to only last for 1.5 hours on max volume especially only having it less than a month. You should contact jbl since yours is still under a warranty and get the battery replaced or get a new one brand new
Thanks for the tips! My JBL Charge 5 has 7 screws holding the battery instead of 3. Some of the screws were seized up, as a contribution to your video I'd like to share how to remove these screws easily. use a soldering iron and heat up the head of the screw, and remove screws easily. Kind Regards E.
Nice fix but is the battery light supposed to stay on all the time? Mine dose not shut off and I’m thinking bits draining my battery the speaker is only a couple months old snd full charge will drain slowly just sitting??? Also do you recommend the fast chargers ? Thank you very much. God bless regards Brad
You failed to add that there are two models, the ND and the TL. You have the TL model. Open the ND model's outer housing from the side without the feet first because there are two screws there on the feed side. I fout out almost ruining 1 speaker housing
I abused my charge 5 a lot while cycling, and it fell off my bicycle a lot of times. The little rubber ''legs'' on the bottom were completely worn out from friction with the bicycle's body. It was good for making pedestrians get out the way (ominous music closing in). I recently started using it as a PC speaker and saw that I only had around 6 hours of playtime with only 10-20% volume which was completely unacceptable. I then removed the battery cover to check it and to no surprise, the battery was full of swolen spots and ''sweat''. I ordered a replacement battery, it seems easy enough to replace by yourself, only a small screw driver and some patience needed. If I would've sent it to warranty they'd just say that I misused it (which I did but that's beyond the point). This was only after one year and a few months of using it while cycling. Not really designed for wear and tear!
I might be a bit late to reply to this but I also carry my Charge 5 quite a lot when cycling too, there are rubber cases with sling sold online and AliExpress to further protect your device frpm wear (even the rubber part from below), they also come with a sling so you can have your speaker around ypur torso and avoid friction, I wanted to ask you if you blasted your speaker at 100% vol. During the year and a half? Do you think the battery lasted long enough for you?
In your opinion this battery is better in performance than the original look at Amazon that the one on sale has 10000 mha approximately I have the doubt of knowing how is the performance in comparison
What kind of battery to replace?? and where to buy it??? Must be a JBL battery or which one??? Why only say and do 50% only......???? Thank you!!! ( How long is the life of factory JBL factory?? I feel like CAR BATTERY??)
Where can i buy the JBL charge5 battery??.. I dont know what happened but my new jbl charge 5 had a playtime less than 10 hrs now when it shoud be 20 hrs like when it was a week new
Is it better design of housing of battery? I ask that, because JBL charge 3 has is fault design, where housing of battery brake due it expansion. Do you think now is it worth it to buy JBL Charge 5?
Does anyone know where to find this battery in Canada? I clicked on the link and it says it's not available in my country so it must be only available in the US. The other ones available on Amazon are either overpriced or have bad reviews, I've checked every electronic store asking them if they could order one in and so far no luck. I'm really hoping someone in a similar situation can help me it be really appreciated.
My jbl charge 5 Has a faulty battery level sensor it charges to what it thinks is 100% and then dies is about two mins once i plug it in it immediately returns to 100% and repeat would a battery replacement fix this problem
LA PREGUNTA QUE TENGO ES ; CUANTO AÑO DURA LA BATERIA NORMALMENTE SI SU USO NO ES MODERADA PARA CAMBIAR UNA BATERIA NUEVA ?? O DURA COMO LA PILA DEL CELULAR ?? , GRACIAS
How do you know when to change battery? I just buy 1 month ago....anywhere for service that??? Make me worry about my charge 5???? Now a day nothing worry free???!!!!!
Did this with my charge 5, turns out the cover on mine is screwed on and it's broken now. Also different battery compartment. Would've been good to know what model this was.
O no sorry 2 hear i almost ruining 1 ther is e ND AND TL models and 1 haze screws(on the side of the feet) the second one doesn't in the outer house ing i find it wear that there are 2 different one's
@@HBV90 nice, im gonna buy charge 5 instead of flip 6 because its easier to replace the battery and its not required to disassemble the speaker unlike the flip 6.
Anyone know how long is the life of your Charge 5??? Is that keep charge full all the time may harm to battery or ...just let drain to 100% then charge....I am new to this toy...please advise. Thank you
If not gonna use it for long periods of time (2+ months) try to keep it at like 60-80%. Otherwise it's totally fine to leave it charged for a while or dead.
Hey Jin, thanx for the video. My Charge 5 is charging but the battery won't be fully charged. Once you remove the charger it give you the red light. Does that mean the battery is dead or something must be done
Wouldn't make sense as the amplifier would still output the same volume. And you won't find speakers that will fit in the case, and probably wont sound as good as the speakers are specifically designed for this speaker and amplifier. It's essentially like expecting to go faster in a car by making the tires wider
You should make your own battery pack with Panasonic NCR18650GA 3450mAh 10A Batteries, it would add another like 8ish hours of playtime to your speaker.
I bought a brand new JBL charge 5 2 weeks ago. The battery only seems to last 5-6 hours for me on high volume. I use it while at work and leave it on top the dash of my truck. Is this normal battery performance? I thought it was advertised for 15-20 hours
The box says 20h, but the manual I found on the site has a detail: It depends on the volume used and the music. A joke. I sent mine in for warranty questioning the battery life and it's under review, when I have the answer I'll let you know here. www.jbl.com.br/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-masterCatalog_Harman/default/dw129d84d1/pdfs/JBL_Charge5_SpecSheet_English.pdf
