JBL Clip 3 Charging

You can charge the JBL Clip 3 conveniently via the hidden USB charge port. Here, we supply the step by step JBL Clip 3 charging routine.

In short: First, select an adequate USB charging adapter. Why this? Because the Clip 3 does not come with this as a standard accessory.

Next, connect a micro USB charge cable between the Clip 3 and that adapter. Then, plug the adapter into a working wall outlet. Finally after a few hours, your JBL Clip 3 fully charges, and you’ll be able to play it again for up to ten hours before needing to charge it again.

JBLJBL Clip 3 Charging: Step by Step

1. Choose Right Size Power Adapter

In this demo, we use the RavPower 24 watt USB charger, as shown next.  The JBL Clip 3 requires 5 volts at 600 milliamps to charge fully.  So this RavPower USB adapter is indeed beefy enough to get the job done.

2. Open the Port Cover on the JBL Clip 3

Then, use a penny or a dime to work open the waterproof seal port cover on the Clip 3. This exposes the micro USB charging port inside, as shown next.

3. Plug in the Micro USB Cord to Continue with JBL Clip 3 Charging

Next, plug the small end of your micro USB charge cable into the matching micro USB port in the Clip3 , as shown next.

4. Plug the Other End of the USB Cord into your USB Adapter

Furthermore, connect the A end of the USB charge cable to the power adapter, as pictured next.

5. Plug the AC USB Power Adapter into a Working AC Outlet

Now that the Clip 3 and our RavPower USB adapter are connected, we plug the RavPower into a working AC outlet, as shown next. In this demo, we’ve plugged ours into a surge protector power strip.

The status lamp lights up solid red on the Clip 3 when you apply enough USB power. There is no battery status gauge that shows percentage of charge.  The red lamp means that charging is in progress, and it goes out when charging completes.  But we know of no way to tell how far along the charging is on this model.

6. Let the Clip 3 Charge Until the Red Light Go Out to Continue with JBL Clip 3 Charging

Battery charging is complete when the solid red lamp goes dark, as shown next.

7. Unplug the USB Charge Cable from the JBL Clip 3

8. Fully Close the Waterproof Port Door

Note that unless you snap this flap securely and completely in place, water could enter the port are.  Thus, damage to the contacts inside could result. So, be sure to press the port door closed with enough pressure to properly seat it, for full water resistance.

9. Done with JBL Clip 3 Charging !

Finally, we have now fully charged our JBL Clip 3 wireless Bluetooth speaker.

Repeat this process every ten to twelve hours of music play through the Clip 3, to keep its battery in top condition.
