Back view of the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 speaker, showing the charging cord connected.
Here’s our Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 charging instructions for this portable Bluetooth speaker. Charging is easy through the sealed micro USB DC in port on the rear bottom of the UEWB2. First, pick a high current USB AC adapter. Why? Because Ultimate Ears does not include this with the Wonderboom 2. But they do offer one that works well for less than twenty US dollars.
Next, connect a micro USB charge cord between the speaker and that adapter. Then, plug that power supply into a working AC mains outlet.
Finally after roughly three hours, the speaker fully recharges. Then, you can play it again for around thirteen hours before it runs dead again.
In this demo, we’re using the iClever 24 watt AC USB charger, as shown next. The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 needs 5 volts at about 1.0 amp to charge fully in the shortest time. So this iClever USB wall adapter is indeed strong enough for the job.
Use a dime or penny to open the waterproof seal port cover on the speaker. This uncovers the micro USB charging port inside, as shown next.
Note that the speaker still charges when running. But depending on your charger, it may recharge a little faster when turned OFF.
Then, plug the small end of your micro USB charge cable into the matching micro USB port, as shown next.
Next, connect the A end of the USB charge cable to the power adapter. In this demo, as we said earlier, we use an iClever 24 Watt 2.1 amp per port USB power adapter along with a generic micro USB cable.
Now that we connected the speaker and charger, we plug the charger into a working AC outlet.
The status light in the power button lights a fading and brightening white pattern on this BT speaker with enough USB power. While no battery status gauge shows charge percentage, the pulsating white lamp means that charging is happening.
Then when the speaker is OFF, this lamp goes out when charging finishes If the speaker is ON, this lamp starts glowing a solid white once more.
Battery charging is finished when the gradually brightening and fading power lamp stops pulsating. Detail: when the speaker is OFF, this lamp goes out when charging finishes But if the speaker is ON, the light starts glowing a solid white once more.
Note that unless you snap this door tightly into place, water might get inside, and water could damage speaker electronics in there. So, be sure to press door closed with enough pressure to fully seat it, to ensure full water resistance. See the correctly closed port door in the next picture.
We have now fully charged our Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 wireless Bluetooth speaker.
