Bose Soundlink mini battery replacement

Quick battery replacement documentary for a Bose Soundlink Mini 2. Curious that such a horribly designed battery arrangement could be coupled with an otherwise superbly engineered Speaker. The replacement process is not fun, but it's doable; the incredible acoustics produced by this little unit is worth saving. All the best!

I got my battery from https://www.ebay.com/usr/ebargainworld (not sponsored). Quick internet search will yield the appropriate battery for your specific model; there are different versions.

PS: Keep in mind that if you get the one without an attached board, you'll have to de-solder to remove the old leads and solder in new leads, which will add to the repair effort.
