Bose S1 Pro Batteries Recalled After 7 Reports of Fires, Melting, and Overheating
In November 2026, Bose recalled about 634,759 lithium-ion battery packs that were included with its S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ Portable Bluetooth Speaker Systems due to a fire hazard. According to the recall:
“The recalled lithium-ion battery packs can overheat and ignite, posing a risk of injury from fire and overheating hazards.”
The recall includes lithium-ion battery packs that were sold along with new S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ speakers. The recall also includes battery packs that were sold individually, as separate accessories, or replacement parts.
An additional 35,400 battery packs were also recalled in Canada, according to a joint recall announced by Canadian regulators. No incidents were reported in Canada.
What Is the Problem?
Bose has created a S1 battery recall page, where the company warns: “The recalled lithium-ion battery packs can overheat and ignite…” Bose said there were 7 reports of the battery packs melting, smoking, or catching on fire. In 6 of those reports, the incident resulted in property damage.
Has Anyone Been Injured?
No. No injuries were reported in the U.S. or Canada when the recall was announced. Even so, a battery pack that catches on fire or explodes poses a significant safety risk. Bose is urging customers to remove the batteries and stop using them immediately.
What Bose S1 Pro Batteries Were Recalled?
Customers can look for the 17-digit serial number on a label on the bottom of the battery pack. The recall involves batteries with serial number beginning with any of the following codes:
- 083723
- 078352
- 084105
- 078591
- 078592
- 084106
- 086409
Unfortunately, Bose notes that the speaker and the battery pack have separate serial numbers, so to check if your battery was recalled, you must first remove it from the speaker and check the serial number on the battery itself.
How Do I Remove the Battery?
According to Bose, the battery pack comes out through the bottom of the speaker. You will need to turn off your S1 speaker and disconnect it from power. Then loosen 2 screws on the bottom of the speaker, remove the plate, use the pull-tabs to remove the battery from the speaker. Look on the underside of the battery for a label with the 17-digit serial number below the barcode.
Where Were They Sold?
The recalled battery packs were sold in stores and online from December 2017 through July 2026, including at:
- Bose
- Best Buy and BestBuy.com
- Amazon.com
- Bose.com
- Walmart.com
- Other retail stores, distributors, and websites
What Should I Do?
Remove the battery from the speaker and write down the 17-digit serial number. Then you can register the serial number on the Bose S1 battery recall page to request a free replacement battery pack.
Have Other Speakers Been Recalled for Battery Fires?
Yes. In December 2024, Anker recalled about 69,000 Soundcore and PowerConf Bluetooth speakers after 33 reports of the lithium-ion battery overheating. One person suffered a minor burn injury.
