Once the battery gets low, (around 11 volts) the speaker will start to turn off/on to signal that the battery is low. You will be able to hear the speaker powering off and on when this happens.
Charging
To charge the battery, simply plug the round connector of the charger into the charging port on the lower right hand corner of your speaker and the other end into a wall outlet. When the light on the charger is red, the speaker is charging. When it turns green, charging is complete.
- Do not leave charger plugged into speaker without other end being plugged into wall. This will cause permanent battery damage
- Do not leave speaker plugged into charger for over 48 hours. This can also cause damage to the battery
- 12 volt batteries don't like being left un-charged. If your battery is low, charge it! Keeping your battery charged will greatly extend the life of the battery
