JBL Wonderboom 3 Light Flashing: During Charging

The Power lamp flashes white while the JBL Wonderboom 3 is recharging.

The -Power- button light flashing during charging.

This light flashes in a gradually dimming and brightening pattern. On this speaker, this LED is the only visual indication that charging is happening. But it does not tell how far along the charging is.

It flashes during charging whether the JBL Wonderboom 3 is OFF or ON.

As charging continues, the light keeps slowly flashing white. Furthermore, battery recharging is over when the lamp goes out, or turns solid white. It turns OFF when the speaker is OFF, and switches to a solid white glow when the speaker is ON.

The battery recharge cycle finishes when the speaker status lamp turns OFF. Even with the AC charger running, the lamp does not glow when battery is full. Not unless the speaker itself is running.
