I bought a Jawbone Jambox about six years ago when we installed a pool and needed a way to listen to music outside. It recently stopped holding a charge, and I didn’t think much about it, as, like so many other products, I don’t feel like it owes me anything.

A quick search regarding the matter revealed that you can buy a replacement battery for under $40, so I hit the Amazon button yesterday and got the tube of power-today–in the mail.

It took about 15–20 mins to pull all of the Torx no 6 screws out, remove the control board, and push in the new sleeve of rechargeable. It powered right up at 70% and worked just fine.
