Sony XB41 Charger Type

A sufficient Sony XB41 charger type, is a wall or auto charger adapter that delivers enough current to fully recharge this speaker in the least amount of time (around 5 hours). So be clear that the charger you pick can deliver enough power for best possible charging performance.

Note that this speaker comes with a 5 volt charger with a DC barrel style jack. This provides the fastest charging — faster than any of the USB options below. So we list several of these options in addition to the USB ones.

Plus, 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 41 to your charger of choice. Details follow.

Plus, the nominal current this speaker may draw is 1.5 amps for the medium length 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 XB41 Charger Type: Which One Works Well?

We successfully charge the XB41 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.

Chargers with the DC Barrel Connector for the Sony XB41

Note that these chargers will recharge the XB41 in 5 hours while the fastest USB chargers, due to limitations on input current placed by the speaker’s USB system, will charge it in 8 hours.

USB-C Chargers that Work Well with the Sony XB41

This collection of chargers can charge the XB41 at 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.

1. Gearmo Ten Port USB Charging Station

This beefy household wall charging station delivers all the current you need for charging your XB41. 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.
