JBL Speaker Flip 5 Charger

An adequate JBL speaker Flip 5 charger is on that supplies at least 2.4 amps at 5 volts (14 watts). Note that currently, JBL does not include a compatible 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 3 amps, and this gives the fastest charging performance.  But to get that, you’ll need a charger with a USB-C output port, rather than the USB-A style connector. So, get a USB C charger that can deliver 15 watts (5 volts at 3 amps). This gives the most rapid charging.

Which JBL Speaker Flip 5 Charger Works Best?

We’ve successfully charged our JBL Flip 5 Bluetooth speaker with the chargers, listed below. Note that all these chargers feature a USB A type female connector.  So, you can use these AC adapters with the black USB-C cable that comes with the JBL Flip 5.  Or, if your charger only has a USB-C output port, you’ll need to get a USB-C to USB-C cord.

Now, to the suggested chargers.
