The CPSC says Bose Corporation is recalling about 634,759 Bose S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ System Battery Packs in the US, plus about 35,400 sold in Canada, because the lithium-ion packs can overheat and ignite. The recall was announced November 5, 2026. Bose has received seven reports of packs melting, smoking or catching fire, and six involved property damage. No injuries have been reported.
What's Being Recalled?
The recall covers rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs for Bose S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ Portable Bluetooth Speaker Systems. They were sold with the speakers and separately as accessories or replacement parts. Look for a 17-digit serial number on a label at the bottom of the pack. Affected packs have a serial number beginning with one of seven prefixes. Bose, Best Buy and other retailers and distributors sold them nationwide, and they were also sold online at Amazon.com, Bose.com, BestBuy.com, Walmart.com and other sites from December 2017 through July 2026. Battery packs sold for $100 to $160, and speaker systems sold with the packs cost $700. The affected products and serial number prefixes are:
- Serial number beginning 083723
- Serial number beginning 078352
- Serial number beginning 084105
- Serial number beginning 078591
- Serial number beginning 078592
- Serial number beginning 084106

Why Was This Product Recalled?
The CPSC warns that the battery packs can overheat and ignite, which poses a risk of injury from fire and overheating. The recall is voluntary and was conducted with the CPSC.
What Should You Do?
Remove the recalled pack from any S1 Pro or S1 Pro+ speaker and stop using it immediately. The speaker can still be used while connected to AC power. Register and provide the pack's serial number at bose.com/support/s1-battery-recall to get a free replacement battery pack. If the pack is not installed in a speaker, you can simply view the serial number and enter it on that site. Do not put the recalled pack in the trash, curbside or general recycling, or the used-battery boxes at retail and home improvement stores, because the CPSC says recalled lithium-ion batteries present a greater fire risk than other batteries. Dispose of it under local and state rules. Your household hazardous waste collection center may accept it, so call ahead to ask. If it does not, contact your municipality for guidance. You can also call Bose toll-free at 800-278-1083, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET Saturday, or visit bose.com and click "Product Recalls" at the bottom of the page. The CPSC recall number is 27-065.
