To summarize how to know if JBL Charge 5 is fully charged…
The power supply you use here should be able deliver 15 watts (5 volts at 3 amps). This gives the quickest charging times. Indeed the Charge 5 may not charge fully in the shortest possible times with a charger that is too small. Plus, to avoid having to get a different cord, pick a charger with a female USB-A port. Then you can use the cord that comes with the Charge 5.
For this demo though, we use the adapter that comes with the 5. And though it doesn’t output quite the max current, the 5 still charges in about the same time.
Insert the small end of the black USB-C charging cable into the matching port in the 5. Of course you cannot know if the JBL Charge 5 is fully charged without connecting the cable first.
Next, connect the A end of the USB charge cable to your USB power supply of choice.
Then plug the charger into a working AC outlet.
At least part of the battery status gauge bar lights up on the 5 when you apply enough USB power. As charging progresses, more of this bar lights up, starting with the bottom.
Recharging is almost complete when all but the top of the battery gauge glows solid. That part keeps flashing though, for a few minutes more while the system tops off the charging.
After that, the cycle is complete when this gauge goes out.
Finally we have now fully charged the 5. To further confirm this, check out the battery meter just after turning on the speaker afterwards. The entire meter bar should now glow. This means that the 5 now has a full charge.
Repeat this charging every twenty hours of music play, to keep its battery in top working condition. In fact, we charge ours when the battery gauge shows only one light glowing.
