Covers How Long Does Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 Take to Charge. Use the hidden micro USB charge port on the back of the unit, near the bottom. So here, we run through the charge procedure.

In short, first select a powerful enough USB power adapter. Why? Because Logitech does not include this with the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 as a standard accessory. But you can buy one from them for roughly $20 US if you wish.

Then, connect a micro USB charge cord between the WB and that adapter. Then, plug that power supply into a working AC receptacle.

Finally after a few hours, your Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 fully recharges.  Then you can play it again for perhaps ten hours before it needs another charge.

How Long Does Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 Take to Charge: Step by Step

1. Choose Right Size USB Adapter

First of all, we charge the WB with the iClever 24 watt dual port USB charger adapter, as shown next.  The speaker needs 5 volts at approximately 0.6 amps to charge fully in a reasonable amount of time.  So this iClever USB wall adapter is indeed strong enough to recharge the unit with lots of energy to spare.

The status lamp in the power button lights a fading and brightening white pattern when you supply enough USB power. While no battery status gauge shows percentage of charge, the pulsating white lamp means that charging is happening.  Then when the speaker is OFF, it goes out when charging completes.  If the WB is ON, this lamp starts glowing a solid white.

7. Let the Unit Charge Until the the Power Lamp Stops Pulsating

Battery charging is complete when the gradually brightening and fading power lamp stops pulsating.
