JBL speakers really rock with their awesome sound and long-lasting batteries. They’re quick to charge up and keep the tunes going for hours, perfect for your music marathons.
In this article at audiosk, I’m going to show you how to tell when your JBL speaker is all set and ready to go. Keep in mind, the size of your speaker’s battery matters. Bigger batteries in larger speakers might take a bit more time to charge, but the upside is you get to play your favorite tracks for even longer!
How Do I Know If My JBL Speaker Is Fully Charged?
With our experience, knowing when your JBL speaker is fully charged is simple! Just examine the little lights. LED indications are on most JBL speakers, notably the Flip 4 and Flip 5. These are normally at the charger or on the front.
General Indicators
To determine if a JBL speaker is fully charged can be summarized as follows:
- LED Indicators: Regardless of model, most JBL speakers include LED battery indications. These LEDs are usually around the speaker’s charging port or front.
- Color and Pattern of LEDs: Each JBL model has its own way of showing battery life with these lights. While your speaker is charging, you’ll see these lights flashing in a neat little line. Once your speaker is fully charged, the speaker’s LEDs may flash sequentially. If you see all the lights turned on, glowing bright blue or white, that’s your speaker’s signs of a full charge.
Specific Indicators for Different Models
Let’s look at how these LED lights work on different models and explain what they mean.
For older models like the JBL Flip 4 and earlier versions, the presence of 5 LED lights under the speaker, with each lit LED representing approximately 20% of charge, is common. When all five LEDs are lit, it indicates a full charge.
Meaning of LED Colors and Patterns:
- 1st LED Light Steady Red: Low battery charge (1-20%).
- 2nd to 5th LED Lights Steady Blue: Gradually indicate increasing battery charge, with each light representing a 20% increment.
- All 5 LED Lights Steady Blue: The speaker is fully charged.
- LED Lights Flashing: The speaker is currently charging.
Modern JBL versions like the Flip 5 and 6 include a nice straight white light next to the charger. To show how much the speaker is charged, this light fills up with white color. You’re ready to play your favorite songs when it’s completely white.
Now, if you’ve got something like the JBL Partybox, it’s got its own special way of showing the charge with a unique pattern of lights. They light up when it’s charging and stay on steadily when it’s fully charged.
And, for those of you with a JBL GO (either the 1 or 2), there’s just one LED light at the top. Here’s what those lights mean:
- Flashing Red LED: Your speaker’s running low on battery and needs charging.
- Steady Red LED: It’s charging up.
- No Light: All charged and good to go!
