Bose and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission have announced a recall of lithium-ion battery packs for S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ speaker systems due to fire hazards.
Bose and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall on November 5, 2026, involving lithium-ion rechargeable battery packs intended for use with Bose S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ Portable Bluetooth Speaker Systems.
The recall includes approximately 634,759 battery packs in the United States and about 35,400 units in Canada. These battery packs were sold both as part of the S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ Portable Bluetooth Speaker Systems and as separate accessories or replacement parts.
According to the CPSC, the affected battery packs were sold from December 2017 through July 2026. They were available at Bose, Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, and other retailers. The speaker systems were sold with the battery packs for $700, while individual battery packs were sold for between $100 and $160.
The CPSC states that the recalled lithium-ion battery packs can overheat and ignite, which poses a risk of injury from fire and overheating hazards.
Bose has received seven reports of the battery packs melting, producing smoke, or catching fire. Among these seven reports, there were six cases of property damage. No injuries have been reported in connection with these incidents.
To determine if a battery pack is part of the recall, consumers must locate the 17-digit serial number printed on a label at the bottom of the battery pack. The recalled batches include battery packs with serial numbers starting with any of the following six digits:
Bose advises consumers to remove the recalled battery packs from any S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ systems and stop using them immediately. While the battery is removed, consumers may continue to use the speaker systems if they are connected to AC power.
To receive a free replacement, consumers are asked to register and provide the affected battery pack's serial number at
The CPSC and Bose advise against disposing of these lithium-ion batteries in the trash, general recycling streams (such as curbside bins), or used battery recycling boxes found at retail or home improvement stores. Because these batteries present a greater risk of fire, they must be disposed of differently.
Consumers should contact their local municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center to find out how to dispose of them safely. The CPSC recommends contacting the HHW office ahead of time to confirm they accept recalled lithium-ion batteries.
