It replaces OEM part GSP-1S2P-F5A and restores wireless playback and Bluetooth operation when the original cell has degraded or failed. Capacity is 19.24Wh — matched to the original spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePartybox Encore Essential fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The Encore Essential runs a single-cell 3.7V pack with a dedicated BMS that monitors cell voltage and communicates charge state to the speaker's indicator circuit. This battery uses the same GSP-1S2P-F5A footprint and connector, so the BMS handshake between the pack and the speaker's charge controller completes without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through charge and discharge on the Partybox Encore Essential platform. The BMS held low-voltage cutoff at the correct threshold and the speaker's charge LEDs tracked state-of-charge accurately across multiple cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonthly discharge cycle for Encore Essential users:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    If the speaker sits plugged in as a desk or shelf unit, run it down below 20% charge at least once a month before recharging. Constant shallow top-off cycling without a full discharge causes fuel gauge drift on the single Li-ion cell and accelerates capacity fade over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the Partybox Encore Essential shows full charge but audio drops after an hour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eA cell that has been shallow-cycled for months loses the ability to hold charge across its full voltage range, even though the indicator still reads 100%. The fuel gauge calibrates against voltage curves, and a degraded cell compresses that curve — the indicator stays high until the cell hits its actual usable floor quickly. Audio drops because the amplifier draws peak current the worn cell can no longer sustain. Replacing the pack and running two full discharge-recharge cycles re-establishes accurate state-of-charge tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eAudio distorting before the battery indicator reaches empty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis is voltage sag under combined amplifier and Bluetooth radio draw — not a speaker fault. As the cell depletes toward 3.2V, internal resistance rises and the voltage rail dips under peak audio current demand. The amplifier clips before the BMS triggers low-voltage cutoff, which produces audible distortion while the indicator still shows remaining charge. If distortion starts consistently at the same volume level as the battery indicator drops below 30%, the cell's internal resistance has risen beyond spec — a new cell corrects this at the source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43416205492314,"sku":"BWCS-JPB400SL-1","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43416205525082,"sku":"BWCS-JPB400SL-2","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43416205557850,"sku":"BWCS-JPB400SL-3","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-JPB400SL-1.webp?v=1779760769","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/jbl-partybox-encore-essential-replacement-battery-37v-5200mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
