About the JBL Charge
Wirelessly streaming tunes from your smartphone to a portable speaker is great — until your phone runs out of juice. That's not a problem with the JBL Charge. It's a high-quality Bluetooth speaker system and backup battery rolled into one. Its 6000mAh of stored power can deliver up to 12 hours of continuous music playback, or you can use some of that power to recharge your smartphone or other compatible portable device.
Bluetooth connectivity and big sound
The Charge lets you wirelessly stream audio from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, laptop or other device. Inside the Charge are two 1-1/2" full-range drivers that deliver clean, clear sound, with a built-in bass port that reinforces the low tones. Thanks to JBL's advanced digital signal processing, the Charge can produce rich, full sound despite its compact design.
Recharge your portable device through the Charge's USB port.
Convenient portability
The Charge has its own durable neoprene carrying pouch. And remember — slip the Charge into the pouch and you're also packing a handy backup battery. The system comes with an AC wall adapter, a USB adapter and mini USB charging cable. An auxiliary input lets you play non-Bluetooth portable devices through the system, too.

Features
Portable Bluetooth Speaker: The JBL Charge is a self-powered Bluetooth speaker that is ideal for your Bluetooth enabled smartphone, tablets, players and other devices. The JBL Charge portable speaker streams stereo music wirelessly from Bluetooth-enabled devices such as your Apple iOS device, Android smartphone/tablet, Blackberry, computer/PC or other devices. You will continue to use your Bluetooth-enabled device to navigate your music and to view song/artist information. This unit pairs with your Bluetooth-enabled device with a single press of a button. Once paired, the JBL Charge will automatically re-connect with your device when in wireless range (up to 33').
Full-Range JBL Sound: The JBL Charge employs digital signal processing to generate room-filling audio from a compact speaker. Using two 1.5" drivers, a 10-watt amplifier, and a built-in bass port, the JBL Charge delivers full-range JBL sound with punchy bass.
Rugged Design: From its rugged enclosure and grille to the rubber end-rings and a rubber cap for its USB port, the JBL Charge has the durability that your active lifestyle demands. And it fits easily into a backpack, so you can take it from one place to the next. A soft carrying case is provided to protect the speaker during storage or travel.
Versatile Placement: The JBL Charge stereo speaker plays from either a vertical or horizontal position, so you can place it in a variety of locations.
Aux Input: In addition to built-in Bluetooth, the JBL Charge is fitted with a 3.5mm auxiliary input for connection of almost any portable audio player with a headphone output.
LED Indicator: A clearly visible LED lets you know when the built-in battery needs to be recharged, as well as when the JBL Charge is in Bluetooth listening or pairing mode.
Built-in Charger: The JBL Charge is capable of recharging the battery of your Bluetooth-enabled device from the speaker's built-in USB (type-A) port. Now you don't need to carry an extra charger to keep your devices powered up. This USB port does not support audio playback.
Rechargeable Battery: The JBL Charge stereo speaker has a built-in, 6000mAh Li-ion rechargeable battery that provides more than 12 hours of playback time on a single charge. The battery is easily recharged from the speaker's built-in USB port, using the included AC power adapter or a free USB port on your computer. The AC power adapter can also be used to power the speaker.
