2200mAh 088789, 088796, 088772 Battery Replacement w/PCB for Bose Soundlink Mini 2, Soundlink Mini II Bluetooth Speaker

This battery was installed using a soldering iron, solder, solder flux, shrink tubing, and some small wire cutters. I cut the battery WIRES close to the old battery. I did this one at a time -there are 4 in the ribbon that need to be separated before you cut them. I then soldered the new battery wires to the newly cut ends of the old battery wires.While some may be able to solder the new battery wire to the board – it is not necessary. It is much easier to solder to the old battery wire and that wire is already well connected by the factory to the circuit board. Suit yourself – you were warned.As for what wire goes where – you’ll notice that the new battery has 5 wires with one cut short – ignore that one. Pay attention to the orientation of the battery for the correct wire connections. I stripped the small wires one at a time and soldered them AFTER putting a heat sleeve on the wire. I then moved the sleeve to cover the solder joint and shrunk it in place.After all the wires are connected and covered, you are ready to button it up. There is plenty of room to fold the extra wire down out of the way and re-install the battery as it was.Enjoy! [...]
