JBL Flip 2 portable Bluetooth speaker, connected to power, with battery charging in progress.
An adequate JBL Flip 2 charger is a USB car or AC charger that outputs a nominal 2 amps at 5 volts (10 watts or more). If your USB wall charger bites the dust, you’ll need another. So this post makes several JBL Flip 2 charger replacement suggestions. These AC wall chargers we’ve tested with our Flip 2 and found them to work very well, and most are highly affordable besides.
Note that all these accessory speaker chargers feature a USB A type female connector. You’ll need a similar adapter to these to connect your Flip 2 to use the orange USB charging cable that comes with many JBL Bluetooth speakers, depicted next.
If your speaker did not come with a USB charging cable, use any micro USB male to USB-A male, medium to high current charging cord. Find these around the internet for very low cost.
And now, to our suggested wall charger replacements for the Flip 2.
