This is kinda late but were there any extra steps for running the speaker without a battery? Since the speaker is not working anymore at all, even with power connected, I would be happy to run it like this but am not sure whether it is really enough to just remove the battery.

this &&^&^$^ jbl costumer support service is charging me $110 for battery replacement, and a $30 service charge, it cost half of the speaker price,

Same here in Hungary.
I’ve got a battery issue (a full charge lasts only about 3-4 hours of playback on mid volume) after a little more than 1 year of usage…
110 US dollars for replacement. Nonsense!
