Introduzione

After about a year of intensive usage, I noticed the battery was swollen. I don't know whether it was caused by lying on it, storing it where it was bumped by other stuff, or just bad luck, but I figured this was repairable.

    • Just like when charging the device, take out the Bluetooth module from the headband and disconnect it from the speakers.

    • The back cover is glued in place. It's not a very tough glue, so the cover may have already shifted a bit from its place, and it shouldn't be too hard to remove.

    I'm opening an ASL06 (ASL06_H0 marking on the PCB) from some time before year 2020. It only has a 175mAh battery :O

    • The module has two compartments, one for the battery and one for the circuit board. Remove both from their rubbery shell.

    • You may be able to cleanly remove the two wires from the beige clip, but I wasn't confident I would be able to reconnect them, so I cut them near the battery, so I had plenty of wire to attach the new battery to.

    • The original battery is a prismatic LiPo 3.7 V 330mAh with dimensions 4x28x26 mm

    • I wasn't able to find one of that exact size, but since it fit even in its swollen state, I figured I could go for a thicker 6x28x23 mm battery

    I ended up selecting ICP602823PA-01 as well.


    Looking at Distrelec, they only had Renata LiPos. Here are the ones filtered for width<=29, length<=28 from https://media.distrelec.com/Web/Download...

    It turned out that on both of the two devices I was looking at, both had problems with loose contact in the beige battery cable connector. The battery on my newer device was still fine, I just had to carefully swap the leads between the connector, so that I had one with two functioning leads and one with two loose/nonworking leads.

    • Solder or twist together the old and new battery wires

    • Cover the exposed parts with electrical tape

    I prefer to use heat shrink tubing for this as it does not have the risk of starting to unwind.

    • You can test your repairs without replacing everything into its protective cover first. This can save you some frustration when it doesn't work on the first try, but requires a bit more caution when handling the circuit board.

    • Long press the central button on the circuit board to turn it on. Does the red LED blink on?

    • Does it connect to your device?

    • Attach the speakers and try to play some audio

    • Attach a charger. Does the charging light come on?

    • You can look at the opening for the USB port to check the orientation (this is one place where USB-C would be a disadvantage)

    • It might take some patience to guide the wires through the opening between the two compartments. In my case it was easier to turn the battery sideways.

    • In my case, it remained sticky enough to not require new glue, even after several disassemblies.

I ended up removing the bad battery connector altogether from the battery wires. Then I soldered the negative side to the capacitor just below the connector on the board, and the positive side to the positive pin in the board connector. Finally I managed to get some glue gun glue on it.
