This is some argument on Sonos' part! The reason why the battery in the CR100 is "old" is because Sonos chose to build a device with a non-replaceable battery!!
If they're so concerned about safety why don't they offer to replace the batteries (for a reasonable fee)??
- ZenoArrow 9y agoAccording to some of the posters in that Sonos forum thread, aftermarket batteries are available for the CR100. What I'm not sure about is how easy they are to replace, but it's clearly possible for some users.
- kirb 9y agoIt’s not hard to replace; probably the hardest part is separating the adhesived back rubber cover and then sealing it again after. The battery uses a modular connector. https://en.community.sonos.com/advanced-setups-229000/guide-to-changing-the-cr100-battery-5216 https://en.community.sonos.com/advanced-setups-229000/guide-...
