Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Charge Time

The usual Ultimate Ears Wonderboom charge time is discussed here. You charge the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom BT speakers via the covered micro USB charge port. And to get the quickest charge time and fullest charging when the speaker runs low on power, be sure to use a medium to high current USB charger. Also, exercise the battery, and do not leave the speaker on the charger once it has fully recharged.

How Long it Plays Per Full Charge

On a complete charge, the UE Wonderboom speaker can play for up to ten (10) hours per charge.  But when you play it extra loud, especially with higher bass, you will see its power lasting somewhat less.





We’ve seen this speaker run dead in around eight hours when played at louder volumes. So to get the longest charge time from it, power saving is useful.  That is, just play it only as loudly as you need to, to hear it well throughout your listening space.

The Charge Time Gets Smaller as the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom Gets Old

If you own this speaker for four or five years, you may notice that the time it plays from a single charge shrinks as the speaker gets older.  This is normal for devices like this one, that rely on lithium ion batteries.

But by exercising the battery, you can slow this charge fall off.

To exercise the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom, run the battery dead and charge it again every three to six months when not in use.

Also, we recommend that you not leave the speaker plugged into a charger once it has reached full charge.  Right after the charging lamp completely goes out, disconnect the unit as soon as you can, to avoid overcharging it and damaging the battery.
