even so, the battery will still crap out on you - with a failed LiPo in the case, I'm not sure I'd want to keep powering it - they have a habit of burning up!

Ah thanks, you're right. I forgot about that. The battery in mine is not strictly dead. It doesn't last for long when unplugged. There will be a dandy lawsuit if there is a fire though.

I read here a few posts that said the battery really is easily replaced. Probably the issue is they sell 5 trillion models of every cellphone and only a few hundred thousand Mojos. Probably harder to buy the battery than to install it.

The batteries, like in most cell phones, in these things should be designed for easy replaceability, then I’d consider it a bargain,

Yeah, like in Apple phones and now... in almost every cellular phone. A new ROHS recycling standard .LOL.

You didn't tell Apple, did you? And in result this disease spreads away to any consumer gadget: laptops (Microsoft Surface) or Chord. :wink:

I reviewed the Mojo during the intial review tour and I regretted not buying it back then. My one and only gripe is that it does not have a defacto "desktop mode." For obvious reasons I am hesitant to leave the unit always plugged due to battery issues. Turns out it might be possible to run in always plugged in without the battery inside. I might try buying a used unit with a crappy battery and try that, sure as heck not trying that with a new unit and messing up my warranty lol. The mojo is an awesome sounding unit and honestly the price is super competitive these days, always gets a lot of love, just not as much buzz given its age.

I do hope a successor is in the works, USB C all the things!

yeah, I have a Mojo and I didn't buy one until I could find a source for replacement batteries. I found 2 or 3 and the price is decent. Around $40. It's not hard to change the battery. There are videos that explain it very nicely. You can indeed run the Mojo in desktop mode simply by taking out the battery.

I just added a Poly to my Mojo that I got from another Head fier this week. It works great and was not that hard to set up with my iPhone. Now, it works and sounds brilliantly. I compared it a/b to my BTR5 and the Mojo/Poly blows it away. When I get home, I am going to set it up like a streamer to see if I can approach Bluesound Node 2i quality.

Nice price, I wonder if it's possible to get a battery for that price here in EU.

I will box up my Mojo and probably sell it when I get it back to 100%.

contact the vendor and see if they will ship it to you. I see someone posted one of the sources I found.
