JBL Clip 2 Bluetooth speaker, front view, vertical orientation.
You can charge JBL Clip 2 wireless Bluetooth speakers conveniently via the hidden USB charge port. Here, we go through the JBL Clip 2 charging instructions for these beach-ready Bluetooth speakers.
In short: First, select an powerful enough USB charging adapter. Why this? Because JBL does not include this with the Clip 2 as a standard accessory.
Next, connect a micro USB charge cable between the Clip 2 and that adapter. Then, plug the adapter into a working wall outlet. Finally after a few hours, your JBL Clip 3 speaker fully charges, and you’ll be able to play it again for up to ten hours before needing to charge it again.
In this demo, we’re using the RavPower 24 watt dual port USB charger adapter, as shown next. The JBL Clip 2 needs 5 volts at approximately 0.6 amps to charge fully in a reasonable amount of time. So this RavPower USB adapter is indeed beefy enough to recharge the Clip2 with lots of time to spare.
Use a penny or a dime to work open the waterproof seal port cover on the Clip Twi. This reveals the micro USB charging port inside, as shown next.
Note that the JBL Clip 2 will still charge when turned on and playing. But depending on your charger, it may charge slightly faster when powered down.
Then, plug the small end of your micro USB charge cable into the matching micro USB port in the Clip2 , as shown next.
Next, connect the A end of the USB charge cable to the power adapter. In this demo, as mentioned earlier, we’re using a RavPower 24 Watt USB power adapter and the orange USB charge cable that came with our Clip 2.
Now that we connected the Clip 2 and our RavPower USB adapter, we plug the RavPower into a working AC outlet, as shown next. In this demo, we plugged ours into a wall outlet in our kitchen.
The status lamp lights up solid red on the JBL Clip 2 when you supply enough USB power. While no battery status gauge shows percentage of charge, te red lamp means that charging is in progress. Then it goes out when charging completes.
Battery charging is complete when the solid red status lamp goes dark.
Note that unless you snap this Clip 2 flap securely and completely in place, water could enter the port area. This might damage the Clip 2 electronics inside. So, be sure to press the port door closed with firm enough force to properly seat it, for full water resistance.
We have now fully charged our JBL Clip 2 wireless Bluetooth speaker.
Repeat this process every seven to nine hours of play time, to keep its battery in top working order for years to come.
