JBL Charge 4 Bluetooth speaker, back view, showing the port door open and the USB-C cord plugged into the power input port.
An adequate JBL Charge 4 charger supplies enough power to charge this speaker in the shortest time (around 4 hours). Note that currently, JBL does not include a USB charger with this speaker. So, you’ll need to either have one already or buy one.
Also, the speaker has a USB-C charging port. So be sure to have the right USB-C cable on hand.
Furthermore, the maximum current this speaker accepts is 2.3 amps, and this gives the fastest charging performance. So you’ll get that whether you use a USB-A or USB-C charger. But just be sure to get the right cable, depending on the charger you have.
We’ve successfully charged our Charge 4 speaker with the AC adapters we list below. Note that some of these feature a USB A type female connector. So, AC adapters like these work if you use the USB-C to USB-A cord that comes with the Charge 4. But if your charger only has a USB-C output port, you’ll need to get a USB-C to USB-C cable.
Now, to the chargers we suggest.
This group of chargers can recharge the JBL Charge 4 at the max power (11.5 watts). Plus none of these is very much money. But for most of them, you will need a USB-C to USB-C cable to connect to the speaker.
This hefty household wall charging station delivers all the current you need for charging your JBL Charge 4 speaker. It delivers full USB 2 power on each and every one of its ten output ports. This means that you won’t increase the speaker charging time when you charge more than one device on it. In fact, this charging station supplies enough juice to charge all older models in the JBL Charge line. Furthermore, you can charge them all at the same time as well. Find this useful USB accessory here at Amazon.com. We also reviewed this charging station here.
This CE Tech charging station is another beefy unit. It indeed works well for recharging most JBL Charge speakers in the shortest time. This well built USB power hub is occasionally available on eBay for under thirty US dollars. We also review this quad port charging system here.
At less than twelve dollars, this adapter with its folding prongs, fits in any mobile accessory travel kit. It’s also great when you take your speaker on vacation, because it features a night light. So this light makes finding your way around strange hotel rooms a cinch. See our GE Jasco 2.1 Amp USB Charger, Y14 Review post for more details.
Finally, some JBL speakers come with this JBL AC adapter included. While this wall charger does not come with the 4, it still charges it well just the same. See our JBL Bluetooth Speaker USB AC Charger Adapter Specs for further details.
So, we hope this short list of compatible AC USB adapters helps you choose a suitable charger for this speaker.
