Introduction

Use this guide if you have issues with the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus battery. If it decides to turn off unexpectedly or does not turn on, the battery might be drained or fail and needs to be replaced.

Before continuing with this guide, it is important to rule out any other possible causes. If the device is not charging, try using different charging cables or a different power source to rule out whether the battery might just be low. With that, ensure that the charging port is not damaged.

This repair requires opening the device, so please be cautious of any components that may be sensitive to static or accidental damage. You will need tools to avoid harming the device and to make the replacement/teardown easier. Make sure to fully power the speaker before replacing the device to avoid electrical shock or anything else dangerous.
