• Avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) to prolong its lifespan.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.
• If the battery shows signs of damage or swelling, discontinue use immediately and dispose of it properly according to local regulations.
• When the JBL PartyBox app indicates a low Battery State of Health (SOH), consider replacing the battery for optimal performance.

5. Troubleshooting
