Here, we cover how to charge JBL Flip 2 portable Bluetooth speakers. Indeed, you can charge JBL Flip 2 wireless speakers easily through their exposed USB charge ports. To summarize: First, select an adequate USB power adapter. Why this? Because the Flip 2 does not come with this standard.
Plus, the Flip 2 needs a medium power USB power source to charge fully in the least amount time. Next, connect a micro USB cable between the Flip 2 and that adapter. Then, plug the adapter into a working wall outlet. Finally after a few to four hours, your JBL speaker will fully recharge. Then, you’ll be able to play it again for up to four hours at middle volume.

Firstly in this JBL Flip 2 charging demo, we use the RavPower 24 watt dual port USB charger adapter.
2. Find the USB Charge Port on the JBL Flip 2
Find the micro USB charging port on the port side of the speaker. Unlike the later models of the Flip, the charge port here is out in the open. Not hidden behind any waterproofing hatch.

Next, connect the A end of the USB charge cable to the power adapter, as shown next.
5. Plug the AC USB Power Adapter into a Working Wall Outlet
Then, now that we have connected the Flip 2 and our RavPower adapter. So then we plug the RavPower into a working AC outlet. In this demo, we connect ours to a surge protector power strip. Plus, we ran our speaker completely dead before this demo.
At least one of the battery status lamps lights up and blinks when you apply eUSB power.
Further, there are five lamps that light in succession as the speaker battery charging progresses.

Charging is complete when all of the battery status lights glow solid. None flashing.
7. Unplug the USB Charge Cable
Then as soon as practical, disconnect the charge cable from the speaker after charging completes. We suggest against leaving the speaker connected to AC power, to preserve battery recharging ability.
8. Done with How to Charge JBL Flip 2 !
So we have now fully charged our JBL Flip 2. Note that the battery charge status gauge just after turning on the unit after a full recharge. All lamps are aglow as shown in the step 6 pictures above. This means that the battery now has a full charge.
9. Repeat Battery Recharging as Needed
Finally, repeat this charging process every three to five hours of play. This keeps the battery in top condition. We charge ours when the gauge lights show only one light glowing, as shown next.
