    • Using a plastic opening tool, pry off the front grill by wedging it in the notch on the front of the device.

    • Remove the five 14.4 mm T10 Torx screws.

    There are NO torxscrews. You have to pull out the rubber grille grips that are inside the screw holes FIRST, then use a regular sized Phillips head screwdriver to remove the cover. No Torxscrewdiver needed. I found this out after I had already purchased one from you guys.

    • Begin by removing the three 10.4 mm T10 Torx screws from the battery cover.

    • Remove battery cover.

    • Pull battery out to replace.

    What battery is the replacement? Are there one or two batteries inside? Could have been a good “how to instruction” but left out some important facts. Duh?

    You should include that the battery compartment is in the BACK.

    Also, there are two compartments in the back. I tried to open the wrong one.

    My torx socket didn't fit into the central hole of that compartment. Arrrgh! So I used a drill to make the hole bigger, only to find upon opening that it was the wrong compartment.

    The correct one was easier to open. (!) I found I needed to wrap part of the new battery in electrical tape to avoid it rattling around.

    Putting it all back together had two challenges. There's a very thin rubber gasket that has to be delicately pressed back into its channel. Also, the larger rubber surround has to be placed appropriately on the various buttons (power, volume, Bluetooth).

    I'd rate this as “medium" difficulty.

    BTW, the correct replacement for the single battery is easily found online by searching “replacement battery Harman Kardon Onyx Studio”. (Student One and Two use the same battery.)

    Super

    merci Infiniment pour ce tutoriel

    This guide is not correct for all models. For Onyx studio 2, you have to open BOTH front and back panels and remove the metal stand. The screws are located under the back panel (regular Phillips screws and not Torx). Battery is a 11.1V 2500mAh (28Wh) model no. PR-633496

    Très bonnes explications merci. Je viens de changer pour la première fois la batterie.

    Quelques notes :

    1) J'ai récupéré les mousses anti vibrations de l'ancienne batterie pour les recoller sur la nouvelle.

    2) J'ai aussi récupéré (en coupant) le caoutchouc triangulaire qui lie les 3 fils électriques. Il permet de fixer les fils ensemble et surtout fixer la batterie dans le compartiment (les rainures sont faites pour ça).

Thanks for the step by step instructions. I have tried replacing the batteries but the speaker still won't turned on. I believe the battery cable/module is broken, do you know how to fix it? Thanks.

Thanks for the easy replacement instructions. Our school bought 4 of the 1st generation HK Onyx speakers and all 4 batteries bit the dust this year. It was a breeze to find better replacements than the original on Amazon and Ebay and these instructions gave me the confidence to disassemble, replace, and reassemble the speakers. Everybody thinks I’m a genius. Thanks again.
