Philips Fidelio SoundAvia Wireless Speaker - AD7000W/37

Objective

The sound from this speaker is amazing and I wanted something more portable with great sound. So, a few years back I wired in a USB bluetooth receiver and added lithium ion batteries to this speaker to make it portable and bluetooth enabled.

I ended up powering it with a 2S2P battery pack for a power output of around 3.7v x2 ~= 7.4v

After using this for a couple of years, I noticed that sometimes the bluetooth would not connect. My current theory is that the voltage eventually gets too low to power the USB. I think this is because I opted to to power it with only 7.4 volts.

I think it is time to update this speaker with a 3S2P battery pack for a voltage of about 11.1v which should give it the longevity it deserves. The upper voltage would be 12.6v while the low voltage would be 6v.
