🔋 061384 Battery for BOSE SoundLink Mini I (7.4V, 17Wh)
I bought this battery because my original BOSE SoundLink Mini I speaker was slowly dying after years of loyal service. After some YouTube rabbit-holing, I figured I’d try reviving it with a replacement battery. This 061384 battery stood out because of the solid number of purchases and decent reviews.
Delivery: Took about 15 days to the US—packed in anti-static bubble wrap inside a plain white box. No damage.
Impressions: Installation was relatively easy. I followed a teardown guide online and the connector fit perfectly. After charging fully, the speaker ran for around 9 hours at mid-volume—pretty impressive for a third-party battery.
Pros: ✔ Fits perfectly ✔ Battery life comparable to the original ✔ Affordable ($19.50 vs $60+ for OEM in the US) ✔ No overheating or charging issues
Cons: ✘ No included instructions (not beginner-friendly) ✘ Slightly tight fit inside the casing
Price Comparison: A similar battery on eBay or Amazon was double the price and still from third-party sellers.
Expectation Match: It not only matched but slightly exceeded what I hoped for. Thought I’d get 5–6 hours max, but got more.

🔋 061385 Battery for BOSE SoundLink Mini I (7.4V, 17Wh)
I actually got this as a backup, thinking I’d test multiple suppliers. Same specs as 061384, but came from a different warehouse.
Delivery: Arrived 4 days later than the 061384 but otherwise in similar packaging.
Impressions: Worked just as well, although I noticed a tiny bit more warmth during charging. Still safe and reliable.
Pros: ✔ Good power retention ✔ Slightly lighter in weight ✔ Competitive price
Cons: ✘ Warms up a bit during the first 2 charges ✘ No installation tools included
Price Comparison: $18 on AliExpress vs $58+ OEM, again a no-brainer.
Expectation Match: Solid. I’d say it’s 95% as good as the original battery.

🔋 061386 Battery for BOSE SoundLink Mini I (7.4V, 17Wh)
Yes, I ordered a third variant of the same model from a third seller (I’m thorough, okay?). Just wanted to compare brands/sellers.
Delivery: Fastest delivery of the three—just 10 days. Came in a branded ETESBAY box.
Impressions: This one had the most premium feel. Slightly better soldering and cleaner finishing.
Pros: ✔ Nicely labeled and clean soldering ✔ Premium feel ✔ Excellent packaging
Cons: ✘ Slightly more expensive than the other two ✘ Lacks instructions
Price Comparison: $21 vs OEM’s $65+. Still a bargain.
Expectation Match: Probably the most OEM-like of the three. Worth paying a bit more if you value build quality.

🔋 063404 Battery for BOSE SoundLink Mini I (7.4V, 17Wh)
Got this one as a gift for a friend who still uses their old SoundLink Mini. Reviews looked good, and I’d had good luck with the other variants.
Delivery: 16 days to Chicago. Packed well.
Impressions: Speaker booted right up and held a good 8-hour charge on the first full cycle. Friend says it sounds just like new again.
Pros: ✔ Reliable charging ✔ Works out of the box ✔ Friend was impressed
Cons: ✘ Slightly looser connector fit (minor issue) ✘ No manual or labeling
Price Comparison: Again, $18 vs $50+ anywhere stateside.

🔋 063287 Battery for BOSE SoundLink Mini I (7.4V, 17Wh)
I bought this as a wildcard option. The seller had fewer reviews, but the specs matched and price was low.
Delivery: Took the longest—20 days.
Impressions: It works, but I had to wiggle the connector a bit. Battery life seems around 7 hours max.
Pros: ✔ Cheap ✔ It works ✔ Acceptable battery life
Cons: ✘ Poor connector quality ✘ No brand labeling
Price Comparison: $16.50 vs $55–$70 US. But I’d say it’s a “use with care” option.
Expectation Match: Barely met expectations. More of a budget backup than a main battery.

Delivery: 14 days, well-packed.
Impressions: Functions similarly to the KingSener, though I noticed a little faster drain when used at higher volumes.
Pros: ✔ Easy install ✔ Solid build ✔ Acceptable runtime
Cons: ✘ Not as efficient at high volumes ✘ Slight warmth on charging
Price Comparison: $22 vs OEM’s $65–$75. Still fair.

🔋 KingSener 359495 Battery for BOSE SoundLink III (11.1V, 2230mAh)
Got this one as a backup for the SoundLink III after success with the 359498. Specs nearly identical.

Expectation Match: Fully met. Can’t tell the difference during use.

Final Verdict
Honestly, I didn’t expect much when I first loaded up my AliExpress cart. But I’m genuinely impressed—9 out of 10 batteries performed as well as or better than expected. For the price (mostly under $25), they’ve revived speakers that would’ve otherwise collected dust or ended up trashed.
Would I recommend them? Absolutely—just make sure you’re comfortable with basic DIY speaker disassembly. If you’ve got an old BOSE SoundLink Mini or III, these batteries are lifesavers. I’m already planning to order a few more to keep on hand.
