Certain Bose S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ battery packs can overheat and ignite. Here is how families can identify, isolate and replace an affected pack safely.
A recall involving a household speaker can feel remote until the device is charging beside a sofa, stored in a child’s room or carried to a family event. On November 5, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of certain lithium-ion battery packs used in Bose S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ portable speaker systems because the packs can overheat and ignite.

The recall covers about 634,759 battery packs in the United States, with another 35,400 sold in Canada. Bose reported seven incidents involving overheating or ignition, including six cases of property damage. No injuries were reported. Families who own one of these systems should treat the recall as a practical fire-safety task rather than waiting for a battery to show obvious damage.
1. Identify the exact speaker and battery
The affected products are battery packs installed in Bose S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ portable Bluetooth speaker systems. Check the model information on the speaker and follow Bose’s official recall instructions before assuming that a similar-looking battery is included.
The recalled packs have serial numbers beginning with one of these six-digit prefixes: 083723, 078352, 084105, 078591, 078592, 084106 or 086409. Use the manufacturer’s recall page to confirm the location of the label and the steps for registration. A retailer listing or social-media post is not a substitute for matching the product details.
2. Stop using the battery pack
If the pack matches the recall, stop using it and remove it from the speaker according to Bose’s instructions. Do not keep charging it “just until the replacement arrives.” Lithium-ion battery failures can develop quickly, and the absence of heat, swelling or odor does not prove that a recalled pack is safe.
The speaker itself can be used on AC power without the battery installed, according to the recall notice. Keep the removed pack away from children, pets, heat sources, combustible materials and places where it could be punctured or crushed.
3. Register for the free replacement
Bose is offering a free replacement battery pack. Use the official Bose recall page or the contact details published by the safety agency. Have the model and serial information ready, and keep any confirmation number or email until the replacement process is complete.
Recall remedies should not require families to buy another battery or pay an unofficial service. Be cautious of messages that request payment, login credentials or unrelated personal information. Start from the manufacturer or government recall page rather than a link in an unsolicited message.
4. Do not place the pack in household trash
The safety notice specifically warns consumers not to throw the recalled battery into household garbage, general recycling or the battery collection boxes found at some retail stores. A damaged or recalled lithium-ion pack can create a fire risk during collection, transport or processing.
Contact your municipal household hazardous-waste program for local instructions. Tell staff that the item is a recalled lithium-ion battery so they can direct you to an appropriate facility. Local rules differ, so the safest route is to obtain instructions before transporting it. Additional resources on this subject are available at trusted health information.
5. Store it carefully while awaiting disposal or return
Keep the battery in a dry, cool, low-traffic place away from flammable items. Do not open the casing, tape over a damaged area, or attempt a home repair. If the pack becomes hot, swells, leaks, hisses, smokes or gives off an unusual odor, move people away and contact emergency services. Do not handle a smoking or burning battery.
Families should also review where other rechargeable devices are used. Charging on beds, sofas or under pillows can trap heat. Use the supplied or manufacturer-approved charger, keep charging equipment visible and unplug devices after charging when the manufacturer recommends it.
6. Check secondary locations
Portable speakers often move between homes, schools, rehearsal spaces, places of worship and event venues. Check garages, storage closets, holiday homes and equipment cases. If the device was lent to a relative, caregiver or organization, notify them directly and share the official recall page.
Secondhand purchases deserve the same check. A recalled item does not become safe because it changed owners or because the original receipt is missing. The serial number and manufacturer instructions are the important identifiers.
7. Document the completed safety steps
After registering, make a simple note of the date, confirmation details and where the recalled pack is stored. If several adults share responsibility for the home, tell them that the battery must not be reinstalled or discarded with ordinary waste.
When the replacement arrives, compare it with the instructions, install it as directed and complete any required return or disposal step. Remove the recalled pack from normal household circulation rather than leaving it in a drawer where someone may use it later.
Use primary recall information
The official U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission notice provides the incident count, affected serial prefixes and disposal warning. Bose’s recall support page provides the manufacturer’s identification and replacement process.
This recall concerns specific products and markets. Owners outside the United States or Canada should use their local Bose support channel and national product-safety authority to confirm whether their battery is affected and which remedy applies.
