The Sony XB12 Extra Bass BT speaker has a battery level indicator LED near the bottom of the button panel, as shown in the following pictures. This displays battery status. 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, or how full the battery is at a given time while charging or draining. But it does flash when the battery reaches near-dead state. In this post, we describe how to read the battery level and charging indicator lamp on the XB12.
The battery level / charging (CHG) lamp is dark in the following situations:
With the charger not connected, the XB12 powered ON, and the battery having very little energy left, the CHG light starts blinking orange. This means that the speaker will soon shut off due to a dead battery and that you should put it on the charge soon.
The CHG lamp lights up orange (no flashing) as the XB12 charges, as shown in the next picture. On this speaker, the glowing CHG light is the only visual means of knowing that recharging is going on. But it does not display how far along the charging is.
Also note that this light should never flash while charging is going on. If it does, then either your charger is not functioning well, your USB cable is bad, or some problems exists inside the speaker.
As speaker charging continues, the light keeps glowing, But eventually, battery recharging finishes, and the lamp goes out to show this. It turns off when the speaker is not ON, and stays OFF when the XB12 is ON.
When unplugged from the charger, what was the charging indicator becomes the battery charge left indicator. Well sort of. If it is dark when the speaker is ON, then the battery has some amount of play time left, although you cannot tell how much.
