Sonos was caught in hot water about a year ago for questionable “recycling� practices. The company eventually mended the issue to the benefit of the environment. It seems like Sonos took that lesson to heart, because it’s now offering owners of the battery-powered Move speaker a way to replace said battery themselves.
The Move Battery Replacement Kit includes the proprietary speaker battery in its plastic case, plus a pry tool, hex wrench, and replacement screws—everything you need to get the old battery out and the new one in. It’s pricey at $70, but since the Sonos Move costs $400, it’s a small price to pay for keeping your speaker charged up. The kit comes in white or black to match the casing of the Move itself.
It’s very rare to see a consumer electronics vendor selling parts like this. But an internal battery that can be removed with just two screws indicates that the Move (the first Sonos speaker to run on a battery) was designed with this kind of service in mind. Sonos says the battery should last for three years once it’s installed.
