How Many Hours to Charge JBL Charge 5

According to the specs, the time it takes for fully charging is four (4.0) hours.

How Long it Plays Per Full Charge

On a complete charge, this speaker can play for up to twenty (20) hours. This is due to its 7,500 MaH, 27 WaH, 3.6 volt lithium polymer battery.  But when you play it loudly, with extra bass especially, you will see somewhat shorter party music playing power.

We’ve seen this speaker run dead in seventeen hours when played at higher volumes. So to get the longest play time from it, power saving is crucial.  To cut the load on the battery, just play it only as loudly as you need to. It also helps to cut the bass when you don’t need it.

The Play Time Gets Smaller as the JBL Charge 5 Ages

Now perhaps you own this power bank speaker for around three to five years,. If so, then you may notice that the time it plays from a single charge shortens.  But this is normal for devices like this one, with lithium ion batteries.

How to Preserve the Battery

But by exercising the battery, you can slow this energy storage fall off.

To exercise the speaker, run the battery dead first. Then charge it again every three to six months when not in use.

Also, we suggest that you not leave the speaker plugged into a charger once it has reached a full charge.  Thus right after the charging lamps completely go out, unplug the speaker as soon as you can. So this avoids the risk of damaging the battery.
