The recall announced on 5 November 2026 covers about 634,759 battery packs in the US and about 35,400 in Canada. Owners must stop using affected packs and can request free replacements.
Bose and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission are recalling certain rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs for S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ portable speakers. They warn that the packs can overheat and ignite, creating a risk of injury. Owners must stop using recalled batteries immediately and remove them from their speakers.
The recall was announced on 5 November 2026 and covers about 634,759 battery packs in the US; about 35,400 additional packs were sold in Canada.
The commission says Bose received 7 reports of batteries melting, producing smoke or catching fire, including 6 involving property damage. There have been 0 reported injuries.
The affected packs were sold from December 2017 to July 2026 through Bose, Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart and other retailers, Engadget said. They came bundled with speakers or were sold separately as accessories or replacement parts.
Bose gives these instructions for accessing the battery and checking whether it is recalled:
Bose says packs with other prefixes are not included in this recall. Some S1 Pro speakers were sold without batteries; owners who later added a Bose battery accessory should check that pack too.
Register through Bose’s recall page and provide the affected battery’s serial number to request a free replacement. The page directs owners to Start a Repair or Replacement. Bose says online requests are unavailable in some regions; if the page is unavailable, contact the company. The commission lists Bose’s toll-free number as 800-278-1083.
While waiting for a replacement, owners can continue using their S1 Pro or S1 Pro+ speaker connected to AC power—a wall outlet—but only with the recalled battery removed, Bose and the commission say.
Do not put recalled packs in household trash, general recycling or retail used-battery collection boxes. The commission says recalled lithium-ion batteries need different disposal arrangements because they present a greater fire risk.
Before taking a pack to a municipal household hazardous-waste center, call to confirm that it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, ask your municipality for disposal guidance.
