061384 061385 061386 Battery Only Compatible with Bose Soundlink Mini 1 Speaker【Not Fit Mini2/Gen2】

This battery has a designated purpose. It is to replace the battery in a BOSE SoundLink Mini 1st generation. I took a chance buying it after not using my Mini for years but was not willing to throw it away. I was persuaded to make the purchase after a video review whose main purpose stated to "not throw it away". The included instructions were easy to follow plus they provided the driver for the mounting screws. After charging, the Mini is back. Perhaps a new bluetooth speaker would be better but I saved some cash. Plus I always liked the size and sound of the Mini. I am glad I made this purchase.

This battery fit and worked perfectly for my Bose Mini as described in the item details. Easy to install with the provided screwdriver.

I've had the amazing Bose Mini speaker for a number of years now, but in recent months the battery life was declining more and more.I thought I'd need to send the unit back to Bose for repair -- or, more likely, see if Bose gave me a price break on a refurbished unit.Imagine my surprise when I googled "How to replace Bose Mini battery" and found a YouTube video showing a middle-aged guy changing out the battery himself as easy as pie.God Bless Bose! The rubber flap on the speaker's bottom peels off easily from one end, and voila, there's the battery right there, held in place by four screws!Now mind you, those four screws are some of the proprietary -- or at least uncommon -- kind manufacturers employ to thwart unauthorized product tinkering.But darned if the battery the guy said he bought from Amazon didn't even include the special screwdriver needed for those weirdo screws.As advertised, swapping out the old for the new battery was a piece of cake, taking less than five minutes. The only difficulty I encountered was getting one or two of the venerable screws to start turning from their years in locked position, but gripping the little screwdriver handle with pliers and turning did the trick.The new battery clicked right into place. I charged it up fully for a few hours, and wow, is the battery working like a champ! The old battery needed a charge after just five days of 15-30-minute use a day, but the new one still hasn't triggered the "low charge" light after some twelve days as I write this.All I can say is, I wish I could revive other items of my favorite gear as easily and effectively!Two thumbs up!!!

Charged battery to full before first use. Used once or twice a week for about a hour or so and recharged after every use. Sometimes used while plugged in, sometimes not. Battery life was not stellar as the devices needed to be recharged after a hour or so of use while not plugged in. Bought in January, completely dead in June, will not recharge. Not worth it.

This Battery is a decent replacemnt. It works as intended and gave a new life to my old bose mini. As for the capacity, they are claiming that this is higher than the OEM (original battery), this is a little exagerated. The original battery lasted longer than this when it was new. There is really no other battery replacement option out there but this one, as this speaker is more than 10yrs old and all the original replacement parts are nom exixtent.This Battery lasted about 2 days on continuous use before it died, which i guess is better then the 10yr old battery that would only last a few hrs.The build quality and battery fitment is VERY GOOD. I've seen a few reviews on here having issues with the rubber boot not fitting correctly after instaling this battery. Its bc they did not look at the diescription fitment. It clearly list the models of batteries and it clearly says THIS battery is only for bose mini sounlink I (THE 1ST GEN). AS long as the battery model you are replacing this matches the one they have listed then everything it WILL FIT PERFECTLY like a glove even the rubber boot. SEE MY PIC ABOVE

Works great. This is the 3rd battery I've put in my 15 yr old Bose. Glad they include the torx screw driver!

You likely already know that the Bose SoundLink Mini is a very good-sounding personal speaker built to last many years! Sadly, rechargeable batteries eventually wear out. This replacement battery will restore your Bose SoundLink Mini’s ability to perform like new. Strong and steady hands are needed to remove and replace the four screws that secure the battery in place. Once the new battery is in place and the screws are completely and securely screwed in using the supplied tool, the silicone battery compartment cover will snap back into place easily.Update: I bought two of these replacement batteries, which are rated at 2900 mAh. The original batterie were rated at 2330 mAh meaning that they have higher energy capacity than the originals. Thus far the performance of the replacement batteries is stellar!

Brought my Bose SoundLink Mini 1 back to life and working as good as new. Easy install!
