Sony SRS XB23 Charger Type

An adequate Sony SRS XB23 charger type, is a USB wall or auto charger adapter that delivers enough current to fully recharge this speaker in the least amount of time (around 4 hours). So be certain to use a charger that can deliver enough of the goods.

Also, this Bluetooth speaker has a USB-C charging port on the back. So if you opt to buy one of the charger options below, then be sure to also get the right cable.  You’ll use this to connect the XB 23 to your charger of choice. Details follow.

Plus, the maximum current this speaker may draw is 1.5 amps for the shortest charging times. So, either use a USB-C to USB-C cord, or use a USB-A to USB-C cable if you go with one of the older USB 2.0 chargers below.

Sony SRS XB23 Charger Type: Which Charger Works Well?

We successfully charge the XB23 with the AC adapters below. Note that some of them feature a USB A type female jack.  So, you can use one of these to connect your speaker if you wish to use the micro USB to USB-A cord that comes with this speaker.  Or, if your charger only has a USB-C output port, then you’ll need a USB-C to micro USB cable, which Sony does not include.

Now, to the adapters we suggest.





USB-C Chargers that Work Well with the Sony SRS XB23

This collection of chargers can charge the XB23 at the max power that the speaker will need (around 7.5 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 Sony SRS XB23

1. Gearmo Ten Port USB Charging Station

This beefy household wall charging station delivers all the current you need for charging your XB23.  It delivers full USB 2 power on each and every one of its ten output ports.  This means that you will not balloon the speaker recharging time when you charge more than one device at a time. In fact, this charging station supplies enough juice to recharge many older models in the Sony line of portable speakers. Moreover, you can charge them altogether 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 decent size unit, that functions well when recharging Sony XB23 BT speakers in the briefest 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 Home 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 Sony speaker on vacation. Why?  Because this adapter has a blue night light.  This makes finding your way around dark and unfamiliar bedrooms less risky.  See our   GE Jasco 2.1 Amp USB Charger, Y14 Review   post for more details on this cheap yet practical charger.
