Tribit XSound Go TS-BTS20 Battery Replacement

Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

15 - 20 minutes

Introduction

This guide will help you replace the batteries of your Tribit X Sound Go speaker.

Note: There might be a swollen battery or battery acid, please use caution.

Tools

Spudger

Step 1

Insert a spudger in the seam between the front speaker grill and chassis.
Pry around the perimeter until the front grill releases.
Remove the front grill.

Step 2

Remove the 14 Phillips screws around the perimeter of the speaker.
Lift off the speaker housing.

Step 3

Disconnect the white speaker connections by gently pulling up with tweezers.

Step 4

Find the battery cover.
Use a screwdriver to unscrew the sides of the covering.

Step 5

Pull the covering up with a pair of tweezers.

Step 6

Disconnect the batteries by pulling the battery connectors directly out of their motherboard ports.

Step 7

Gently pull the batteries out of the speaker.

Oh so what comes next? Does the other end have a connector that can be removed or is it soldered to the PCB? I assume the battery is an 18650 but I can't be 100% certain because there is no image showing the battery specs so I have to tear it down and then order a battery instead of having one that I can just swap in. Actually can the battery just be swapped out or is there soldering involved or do you need to purchase a battery with the connectors already spot welded it?

You did so well but failed to finish the tutorial off.

I couldn't find online the exact battery replacement, any suggestions?

Same here. What is the replacement battery number?

I am having difficulty finding a replacement battery with the same configuration as what is shown and in my device. I am going to try reaching out to the company’s customer service and see what they have to say.

Chester LaBruyere -

After disassembling and seeing unusual batteries, I DID contact the company. Here’s the response: “Kindly note that the built-in battery of our speaker is composed of several lithium batteries in series and parallel, we do not recommend disassembly it. We also do not sell separate batteries.”

So my question is - why the detailed and intricate instructions for a dead end that wasn’t even suggested where you mention in the Introduction, “This guide will help you replace the batteries …”

Tinkerer beware.
