JBL Charge 2 Plus: JBL Connect function on the Charge 2+

Wed, 24 May 2017 13:14:29 -0700

Hey guys,

Has anybody experience with the OS of JBL Bluetooth speaker?

Because i have the JBL charge 2+ and it doesn't support the connect function.

This has just the flip 3 or charge 3 ...

Is there any way to "update" mine or do I need for this another hardware?

Greetings

Kainze

JBL Charge 2 Plus: Battery not holding juice and sound crackles/breaks at high volume.

Tue, 27 Oct 2020 14:53:01 -0700

Hi,

My JBL Charge 2 + Splashproof has been with me for about 2 years now.

Its a great product and still fits my needs. However, right now I have noticed that it does not hold a full charge at all. The battery indicator starts at 60% (the top 4 lights are stable, the fifth blinks) even when the battery is completely drained.

The sound also crackles and breaks at high enough volume and the speaker just turns off indicating that there isn't enough battery left. I have also noticed a faint buzz or hum in the speakers when this happens.

Please let me know if this is a circuit board issue or a battery issue so that I know what to replace.

Thank you.

Yup, Turns out the battery is 1.5 times its normal size. It looks "puffed".

I disconnected it from the speaker and put it in my drawer. I’m keeping the puffed battery until I find the right one because I will need to match the polarity and specifications of the replacement. Any leads on where I can find it in Guangzhou, China?

JBL Charge 2 Plus: JBL Charge 2+ speaker with no sound

Fri, 06 Jan 2017 05:24:34 -0700

Hi there, does anyone have any idea about what problem my JBL speaker might have? The speaker was fine at the beginning to play music. After two months it suddenly stopped producing sound when switched on. (the warranty for the product expired!). After that, it always gives low battery signal every time switched on; even tried with pressing call plus volume + combination buttons, pressing volume up button, checking the battery voltage of 3.8v between two red wires against the black wires. I guess the battery is not dead. Why the battery can't be charged to 4.2V, I have no idea. Bluetooth seems working when paired to iphone or android phone which provides the source of music.Even tried with audio in port with no success. After removed the battery pack with 5 wires (2 red, 2 black and 1 white in the middle), check the voltage from 5 male pins on the motherboard with original charger plugged in AC: 2.56V between 3rd pin (+) and one of other pins and 1.1mA current between 3rd pin (+) and any one of the other 4 pins.

My question is 1)that whether the battery pack should be charged to 4.0~4.2V in order to provides adequate power to the speaker or not; 2) how the 2P 3.7V 6000mah 22.2wh batter pack is wired up to have 5 wires (2 red, 2 black, 1 white); 3) how the battery is charged up with which wire through the motherboard via JBL original charger and at what voltage. Thanks in advance for your instructions, KM

I have a JBL Charge 2+, and the LEDs, that indicate the battery power are flashing even when the device is not beign charged.

The manual doesn't tell me anything about this indication, and I couldn't find anything on the Net.

I believe it should not do that.

JBL Charge 2 Plus: No sound only while playing music, Auxiliary connection works

Wed, 25 Jul 2018 08:34:12 -0700

I've been facing no sound issue only on Bluetooth connection while playing music, it works fine for calls and auxiliary connection. I've tried doing a power drain and recharged my device, also tried a reset however still can't play music through Bluetooth. I also connected the speaker to a different phone however the problem is still there.

Thanks in advance.

JBL Charge 2 Plus: The "power button" light is on, and wont turn off?

Sat, 30 Jun 2018 14:54:03 -0700

The "power button" light is on, and wont turn off.

No other buttons work or respond.

When phone is connected to the JBL Charge 2+ it appears to charge the phone.

Thanks for any advice if anyone has had similar problem.

thanks to Jayson Van Camp

removing/unplugging the battery and then re-attaching worked for me.

JBL Charge 2 Plus: My device turns on and connects but doesnt play

Fri, 21 Oct 2016 05:03:34 -0700

So before my speaker worked perfectly fine then it started making a really bad noise and sounded like a loud exhaust pipe from a car and eventually didnt make any noise at all. I tried connecting it to different devices to see if it was my device but all it does is turn on but doesnt make the noise when it turns on and it connects but i turn on music or just anything with audio and it doesnt make anything.

My Charge 2+ charges and powers up properly, and it connects to the signal—I get the connect tone and the device registers the connection—but i get no sound. What is the most likely problem, can I troubleshoot further, and can i fix it?
