This is a battery replacement / teardown guide for the SRS-XB22 Bluetooth speaker. I couldn’t find a guide anywhere on the internet for the speaker; as I had to fix my wife’s speaker, I thought I’d do a guide on how I tore it down. I hope this helps you.

Firstly, you need to pry the speaker grill away from the speaker.
-
Use a spudger/guitar pick to prise up each end of the grill.
-
You are trying to lift a clip at either end. (circled in red)
-
Once lifted at both ends, gently pull the grill forwards.
-
-
-
Completely remove the grill.
-
Remove the 8 screws that hold the speakers in place.
-
Slowly pull the speakers forward to free them from the case.
-
-
-
Disconnect the speaker cables from the internal circuit boards.
-
Be careful, the sockets are easy to damage
-
Remove both of the rubber gaskets from the case - one for the left speaker, one for the right.

-
Starting at the ends of the speaker, prise the back case away from the main unit.
-
Work your way along the front of the case.
-
Once the front in freed, work you way along the edges, freeing the whole case.
-
There is A LOT of double sided tape between the outer and inner case. It requires a lot of work to remove it.
-
The case is one piece. Although it looks as if it splits at the rear, it is sealed together.

-
Remove 3 screws at either end of the speaker, so 6 screws in total.
-
Using a spudger, unclip the top and bottom plastic clips, holding the front of the speaker.

(I made the error and removed the illuminated surround, hence it is not in two of my pictures here - it is NOT necessary to remove it)

Be careful, there are 3 wires still connected.

Disconnect the three wires, freeing the front panel.

There will still be a couple of circuit boards in the back that are connected. These are the boards for the rear panel.

Carefully, pull the battery out of its recess.
