You could probably fit even more in there I imagine. At some point though the larger components on the right side of the mainboard may get in the way. Here is a reddit link where I posted a photo with the additional cells in the compartment. 4 cells is a massive improvement over the 2 cells from the factory. I would say a little more than double the run time since they are parallel and the discharge rate is halved on every battery. www.reddit.com/r/JBL/comments/yi9v8y/i_fixed_my_encore_essentials_short_battery_life/

This thing has a ton of bass but that comes at a cost. You should be pretty happy with two non-essentials. With two you can run each a little less power and have the same volume as a single. If you don't care about weather or splashes while running them, one of those smaller portable power banks with a house plug is real nice for long term listening away from a normal outlet.

The cells are in parallel so technically you can add as many as you can fit but there are only two thermistors per BMS so there is some limiting factor there as well besides just space (if you still want thermal protection). The Encore only has one battery pack so I am confused as to what you are asking. A battery pack is the combination of cells and Battery Management System. When you say you purchased "two 6200 mAh rated at 3.7v" do you mean individual 18650 cells? If so, I can guaranty you they do not actually have 6200 mAh capacity (NO 18650 cells have that capacity, it's all lies) and you may actually be downgrading your speaker. In any case, the most amount of cells I have been able to jam into my Encore Essential and maintain safety features is 4. It is entirely possible you may be able to tuck 6 into that cavity and still get the main board back on but then you would lose thermal protection on the 5th and 6th cells and 4 cells was perfect with pretty much all day battery life at a reasonable (60%) volume. I made a reddit post about it here. www.reddit.com/r/JBL/comments/yi9v8y/i_fixed_my_encore_essentials_short_battery_life/ I did end up going back in and getting rid of the connector since it was giving a bad connection on the thermistor wires.

If they are solid cells and you get the rated capacity at the power draw that the encore requires, yeah that will give you another 20% or so. If the cells are not quite as robust and crumble under a high c-state then you may get worse performance. Also, the only way I have found to REALLY improve the Encore's battery life substantially is to add two more 18650 cells and locate them in the cavity below the system board. I put a pic up on reddit and had a little bit of a breakdown in the comments. I also went back in and got rid of the stupid quick disconnect because it was messing with the reading from the thermistor. www.reddit.com/r/JBL/comments/yi9v8y/i_fixed_my_encore_essentials_short_battery_life/

But unless there is a timer, which there is not, the charging system will keep charging until it reads 4.2 volts. The 3.6v figure is not max voltage fully charged, it’s the voltage the cell operates at when discharging max amperage. But in essence you can stick as many cells in there in parallel as you can fit as long as they are the same cells. Never mix cells. That’s a fire waiting to happen.

Can I buy an official replacement battery, and then splice all the wires together with the original battery pack? This would mean there would be an original BMS on each battery pack though. Would that cause any problems? If so, how would you go about fixing this?

Ай бұрын

So, I did read where one person (I think on the Reddit post) reported doing that and that it worked for them. That would certainly be the way to go. The only thing we do not conclusively know is if you retain thermal protection when you do that. IF it is as simple as a closed circuit on the data wires that is opened when the BMS detects too high of thermals, then the second cell will remain closed and defeat the protection. IF it is an open circuit that is closed to trigger the safety measures then that is fine. if it is some sort of actual data stream then who knows. By that of course I mean the protection where the speaker will turn off if the batteries get too hot during operations. The BMS itself would of course protect the cells it is responsible for during charging (or at least we hope it does). So anyhow, keeping the thermal protection when drawing from the batteries probably isn't a huge deal since I have never had mine trigger even while playing loud in the direct FL sun. Just something to think about I guess.
