Bose Recalls S1 Pro Speaker Batteries for Fire Hazard
In November 2026, Bose announced a voluntary recall for about 635,000 rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs for the Bose S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ Portable Bluetooth Speaker Systems.
According to the CPSC, the company received “seven reports of the battery packs melting, producing smoke or catching fire.” Six of those incidents involved property damage. No injuries have been reported, but the problem poses a serious fire hazard and a risk of burn injuries.
What Is the Risk?
The recall only involves the rechargeable battery packs for S1 Speakers, not the speakers themselves. You can still use the speaker using AC power instead of the battery. However, if your battery was recalled, Bose urges you to remove it from the speaker and stop using it immediately.
According to the recall:
“The firm has received seven reports of the battery packs melting, producing smoke or catching fire, including six reports of property damage. No injuries have been reported.”
Which Bose Battery Packs Are Affected?
The recall applies to two products:
- Bose S1 Pro System Battery Pack — used in the S1 Pro Portable Bluetooth Speaker System
- Bose S1 Pro+ System Battery Pack — used in the S1 Pro+ Portable Bluetooth Speaker System
The recall only involves battery packs with a 17-digit serial number that starts with 083723, 078352, 084105, 078591, 078592, 084106, or 086409.
Unfortunately, this serial number is ONLY printed on the battery itself – not the speaker. So, to check if your battery is part of the recall, you must remove the battery from the speaker and look for a label with the serial number on the bottom of the battery.
To remove the battery, you must turn off the speaker and unplug it, loosen 2 screws on the bottom of the speaker, remove the bottom plate, and pull the battery pack out by its tabs. The battery’s serial number is on a label under the bar code.
Where Were They Sold?
The batteries were included with S1 Speakers, and also sold separately. The retailers include stores like Bose, Best Buy, Amazon.com, Bose.com, BestBuy.com, Walmart.com and other stores and websites nationwide.
They were sold from December 2017 through July 2026 for between $100 to $160 for the individual battery packs. The S1 speaker systems cost around $700 and had the battery packs included.
If you own one of these battery packs, you can register for a free replacement. After you find the serial number on the battery, sign up on Bose’s S1 battery recall page or call Bose at 800-278-1083.
How Should I Dispose of a Recalled S1 Pro Battery?
Disposing of a recalled battery pack is not like an ordinary household battery. The recalled lithium-ion batteries have a higher fire hazard, so they should never go in your home’s trash, curbside recycling, or a battery drop box at a retail or home improvement store.
Instead, dispose of the battery at your local household hazardous waste collection center, and call first to confirm it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries.
