It’s not an easy life. Outside. Travel. Dog chewed. Rained on. Muddy. Sandy.
Rode hard, put away wet, no charge. She comes back purring weeks later.
Same with my flip 3 or 4, I replaced the battery but it’s been good!
How was the battery replacement?
It will do another 7 years if you keep it away from humidity. There are three things that are important: the membranes, the battery and the material quality of the chipset. If those three are kept in shape (can’t do much about the chipset) there is no reason for it to fail. I have got a Uboom running since 2014 and it’s still blasting. I met the inventor once, we talkked a long time about his product. Uboom weren’t on the market then.
Probably good advice, but I live in an extremely humid place and it lives outside. It’s muddy from being in a mid puddle. Still lives!

lol, I didn’t expect there to be evidence. How often do you use the speaker?
Several times a week usually.
