Use a spudger to pry the rubber pads off of the bottom panel of the SoundLink.
The rubber pads should have enough adhesive to stick when you reassemble them at the end. If not, however, you may need your own adhesive.

Schritt 2

Remove the two 12.5 mm screws using a Phillips #2 screwdriver.
These screws may be difficult to remove. If necessary, use a lever for extra torque.
Remove the bottom panel.

easy peasy. great instructions!

couple things: 1. you dont need to remove the rubber pads completely; just enough to get the screws in & out. 2. if you get a small screw driver with the battery, its crap. use your own.

thank you ifixit for another great tutorial.

My SL III battery lasted nearly 8 years with almost daily use—but recently stopped holding a charge for more than 15-20 minutes. Replacement was super easy so thanks for posting. Bose quality is exceptional as always!

You do not have to remove the rubber completely. Just lift up the ends towards the middle to reveal the screws.
