Mine is not working anymore and I suspect that the battery is not charging. I´ve checked the battery and its code is AEC653055-2Pwith rating 3,7V 2000 mAh. It has 3 cables: red, yellow and black. I´ve used a voltage meetering to check if there some charge coming from and it had 4,0 VDC. So, probably the problem related to my device is with the battery, because it´s not charging. Anyone else had this same issue?

hey. i had the same problem with the battery of JBL flip. and i fixed it. Complete video tutorial is here :)
