JBL Pulse 3 Charger Type and Replacement

An adequate JBL Pulse 3 charger type, is a USB wall or auto charger adapter that delivers enough stuff to fully recharge this speaker in the least amount of time (around 4.5 hours). Note that JBL does include a USB charger with the Pulse 3.  But, you may need a new one if you lost the old, or the original has stopped working.

Also, the speaker has a micro USB charging port. So if you opt to buy one of the charger options below, then be sure to also purchase the right cable.  You’ll use this to connect the speaker to your charger of choice. Details follow.

Furthermore, the maximum current this speaker accepts is ~2.3 amp to get the shortest charging times. So, either use a USB-C to micro USB cord, or use a USB-A to micro USB cable if you go with one of the older USB 2.0 chargers below.

Which JBL Pulse 3 Charger Type Works Well?

We successfully charge the Pulse 3 with the AC adapters below. Note that some of these feature a USB A type female connector.  So, you can use an adapter such as these to connect your speaker if you wish to use the micro USB to USB-A cord that comes with the JBL Pulse 3.  Or, if your charger only has a USB-C output port, then you’ll need a USB-C to micro USB cable, which does not come with the speaker.

Now, to the chargers we suggest.

USB-C Chargers that Work Well with the JBL Pulse 3

This collection of chargers can charge the Pulse 3 at the max power that the speaker can take (around 11.5 watts).  Plus none of these costs much. But as we said earlier, for some of them, you will need a USB-C to micro USB cable to connect them to the speaker.

USB-A Chargers that Also Work Well with the JBL Pulse 3 Speaker

1. Gearmo Ten Port USB Charging Station

This hefty household wall charging station delivers all the current you need for charging your Pulse 3.  It delivers full USB 2 power on each and every one of its ten output ports.  This means that you will not 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 Pulse line of Bluetooth speakers. Moreover, you can charge them all at the same time too. Find this useful USB accessory here at Amazon.com.  We also review this charging station here.

2. CE Tech 4 Port USB Wall Charger 

This CE Tech charging station is another substantial unit, that functions well when recharging JBL Pulse speakers in the least time.  This well built USB power hub you can buy on eBay for under thirty US dollars here.  We also review this quad port charging system here.

3. GE Jasco Y14 11307 USB AC Charger

This charger is available at Walmart.com.  See that product page, here.   At less than twelve dollars, this dual port AC USB wall adapter, with its folding plug prongs, is small enough to fit in any mobile device accessory travel kit.  It’s also terrific when you take this JBL speaker on vacation. Why?  Because this adapter has a blue night light.  This makes finding your way around unfamiliar hotel rooms less risky.  See our   GE Jasco 2.1 Amp USB Charger, Y14 Review   post for more details on this cheap yet practical charger.

Note that since this converter does not provide the full 2.3 amps that required for the fastest charging of the Pulse 3, recharging it will take a bit longer with this adapter.

4. JBL Charger for the Pulse 3

Finally, some JBL speakers come with this JBL power adapter in the box, as did the Pulse 3.  This adapter charges the speaker plenty well.

See our JBL Bluetooth Speaker USB AC Charger Adapter Specs for further details.
