How long does the battery last?

The JBL Charge 5 offers up to 20 hours of playback on a full charge — actual time varies with volume level, audio content and if you use the power bank function to charge other devices.

Can I charge my phone from the speaker?

Yes. The Charge 5 contains an internal battery and a USB output so you can charge phones and other USB devices — note that using the speaker as a power bank will reduce its available playtime. Use recommended charging adapters and avoid charging devices while the speaker is wet.

Is the speaker safe around water and sand?

The Charge 5 is rated IP67, which means it’s dustproof and waterproof (can handle immersion in shallow water). After exposure to saltwater or chlorine, rinse and dry the speaker and do not charge until it is completely dry. Follow care instructions in the manual for long life.
