The Battery-Battery Care button on the back of the Sony SRS XG300 speaker.
Explains how to read the Sony SRS XG300 charging indicator lamp LED. We also discuss how to get charge percentage numbers as well.
First, this speaker has a charging indicator LED on the top button panel. This displays charge status, sort of. E.g. Whether it’s draining or charging, or whether it’s critically low or not when discharging. But it neither reads out charging progress, nor how full the speaker is. However, it does flash when the battery reaches near-dead state.
But on this particular speaker, you can get a more precise reading of charge fullness. For that, press the battery button on the back. That makes the speaker say the actual percentage. Thus we cover both ways to tell how much charge the battery has below.
The charging (CHARGE) lamp is dark in the following situations:
So each of these light states gives you some indication of charge status.
With no charger, the XG300 running, and with little energy remaining, the CHARGE light flashes.
This means that the speaker will soon shut OFF. So you should put it on the charge soon.
The CHARGE lamp lights up orange (no flashing) as the XG300 charges. On this speaker, this glowing light is the only visual means of knowing that recharging is going on. But it does not display how far along it is. Thus to get this, use the BATT button in the compartment on the back.
Furthermore, this light should never flash while charging is in progress. If it does, then either…
As speaker charging continues, the light keeps glowing. But eventually, recharging finishes. Then the charging indicator lamp goes dark. Plus it turns off when the speaker is OFF, and stays OFF when the XG300 is ON.
When unplugged from the charger, what was the charging indicator becomes the charge left indicator. Well again, sort of. If it is dark when the speaker is ON, then the speaker has some time left. But you cannot tell how much just by reading the charging indicator lamp.
You can have the speaker “speak” to you the approximate percentage of power remaining in the speaker.
Hear the female voice say this by pressing the BATT button in the back of the speaker. Note that there are three buttons inside the ports compartment. So the button to press is the first one on the left.
When you press this BATTERY / BATTERY CARE button, the speaker will say back one of the following.
The Sony Music Center app shows percentage of charge as well. To see it do as follows.
Begin by pairing your XG300 to the source device.
We find ours in in a custom folder that we set up on this test iPad.
When you start Music Center, it finds the paired SG300 and then brings up the Home page for that speaker.
The app then displays the current charge percentage.
