Sony XB 12 Charger Type

An adequate Sony XB 12 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 4.5 hours). So be sure to use a charger that can deliver enough of the goods.

Also, this Bluetooth speaker has a micro USB 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 12 to your charger of choice. Details follow.

Plus, the maximum current this speaker may draw is 500 milliamps for 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.

Sony XB 12 Charger Type: Which Chargers Work Well?

We successfully charge the XB 12 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 with the Sony XB 12

This collection of chargers can charge the XB 12 at the max power that the speaker will need (around 2.5 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.

Sony XB 12 Charger Type: USB-A Chargers that Also Work

1. Gearmo Ten Port USB Charging Station

This beefy household wall charging station delivers all the current you need for charging your XB 12.  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.
