Bose recalls 670,000 speaker batteries over overheating and fire risk

Bose is recalling more than 670,000 battery packs used in its S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ portable speaker systems.

The packs were sold in the US and Canada from December 2017 through July 2026, both with speakers and separately.

Some packs have overheated, melted, produced smoke or caught fire, though no injuries have been reported.

The recall applies to packs with specific serial-number digits, which owners can check on the label on the bottom of the pack.

Owners should stop using affected packs and remove them; the speakers can still run when connected to AC power.

Bose is offering a free replacement battery pack to owners who register and provide the pack’s serial number.

Do not put the recalled battery in household rubbish or ordinary battery recycling bins; contact a local hazardous-waste collection center for safe disposal.
