I was given a MEGAboom (model: 984-000796), that would not charge or work without being plugged into a power plug. The original owner received a replacement and gave me the malfunctioning speaker just in case I could get it working again. I was able to minimally pop the bottom of the speaker open and remove the factory battery. I wanted to be sure the problem had to do with the battery so I plugged it in without the battery (it worked) and also reseated the battery to the electronics board (still would not work without being plugged in). So, this led me to search for a replacement battery and eventually this item. This item is still cheaper than the $50 Logitech/Apple will charge to replace it for you -- and going that route might not have been available to me since this speaker and serial number had been processed already. So I ordered this item (albeit with hesitation), and today I was able to try it out. It came in a proper plastic packaging from an authentic looking company (will try to include a picture when I update this review). And it also worked! The speaker works whether plugged in or not. Now the things that are keeping it from 5 star perfect... Caution: I was able to pull the original factory battery using pliers and pulling onto the charging insert block. I had thought I could do the same with this replacement battery, but what ended up happening was the block actually detached from the battery and exposed the power pins/connectors. Therefore, if you intend to remove the battery any number of times, you will need to prepare a way to pull it out and remove it or it will be near impossible to remove simply by pulling it out of its slot because it barely gives you space to properly grab hold of it (FYI, I had to use tape [scotch worked fine] on both sides to pull it out). If you don't intend to, I caution you to be sure to not insert it wrong where the charging insert block is on the wrong side (I did this and became desperate to pull it out). Going back to how the insert detached, immediately you can tell that the quality may not be, at least, the same quality as factory -- but as long as it connects and works, I'm happy. Second thing is that, at current, the app (and speaker when checking manually) states that the battery is at 42% (which, coincidentally or not, is where it was stuck before the replacement) and seems to be stuck on that (even tried charging with two different chargers). Of course, not a lot of time has passed since putting in the replacement as well as I'm hoping the next firmware either resets or fixes the glitch/freeze. I intend to update this review if/when I find out for sure which is causing the problems... Lastly, under the same suspicions as the last problem listed, the tap controls aren't working also – again, I don't know if it's the replacement or speaker itself. All of these reasons I don't know whether if it's the battery necessarily or the speaker itself. So, I intend to come back and update this review in the future. TL;DR Confirmed that it works with UE MEGABOOM; Same shape and size and interface. Quality is different and the power insert block detaches. It may or may not be the cause of my charging percent being frozen and/or touch controls not working. But, obviously, it works and works correctly where it resolved my issue of the speaker not working unless plugged in charging. Hope this helps anyone hesitating purchasing this item.Read full review

This was a great replacement battery for my UE Megaboom. I can easily go 2-3 days before needing to recharge and recharge times are reasonably short. (an hour or so) The battery even came charged up!
