Which Battery Packs Are Included?
The recall covers Bose S1 Pro System Battery Packs and S1 Pro+ System Battery Packs whose 17-digit serial number begins with one of seven sequences:- 083723
- 078352
- 084105
- 078591
- 078592
- 084106
- 086409
The recall reaches packs that came installed in S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ speaker systems and packs sold on their own as accessories or replacement parts. Bose notes that some S1 Pro systems were sold without a battery, so an owner who added a Bose battery accessory later should check that pack.
Where Were They Sold?
The battery packs were sold at Bose, Best Buy and other stores and distributors nationwide, and online at Amazon.com, Bose.com, BestBuy.com, Walmart.com and other websites, from December 2017 through July 2026. The packs sold for $100 to $160 on their own, and the speaker systems sold with a pack for $700. They were made in China and imported by Bose Corporation of Framingham, Massachusetts.How Does the Replacement Work?
To reach the battery, Bose’s instructions say to power off the S1 system, disconnect it from power, loosen the two screws on the bottom, remove the bottom plate and pull the pack out by its tabs. If the serial number matches one of the recalled sequences, the owner enters that number on Bose’s “Start a Repair or Replacement” page, linked from the recall page, to request the free replacement. Bose says online requests are not available in every region.The speaker can keep running on AC power with the battery pack removed. The CPSC says the recalled pack should not go in household trash, curbside recycling or the used-battery drop-off boxes found in many stores, because recalled lithium-ion batteries carry a greater fire risk. It points owners to a municipal household hazardous waste collection center that accepts them, and suggests calling the center first. The CPSC notice does not set an end date for the replacement offer.
Questions
How do I tell if my Bose S1 Pro battery pack is recalled?
Remove the battery pack and find the 17-digit serial number printed below the bar code on its label. The pack is recalled if the serial number begins with 083723, 078352, 084105, 078591, 078592, 084106 or 086409. The speaker has its own separate serial number, so check the number on the battery pack itself.
Can I still use my Bose S1 Pro speaker during the recall?
Yes, without the recalled battery. The CPSC says owners should remove the recalled battery pack and stop using it, and they can keep using the S1 Pro or S1 Pro+ speaker while it is plugged into AC power.
Does Bose give a refund for the recalled battery pack?
No. The remedy listed by the CPSC is a free replacement battery pack, requested by entering the recalled pack’s serial number on Bose’s recall page. The notice does not offer a refund.
How do I get rid of a recalled Bose battery pack?
Not in the trash, curbside recycling or the battery drop-off boxes found in stores. The CPSC says recalled lithium-ion batteries carry a greater fire risk and should go to a municipal household hazardous waste collection center that accepts them; it suggests checking with the center first.
Are S1 Pro battery packs sold separately included?
Yes. The recall covers battery packs sold with S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ speaker systems and packs sold on their own as accessories or replacement parts, as long as the serial number starts with one of the seven listed prefixes.
