Questions & Answers

Is it possible to leave the speaker on the dock without causing damage to the battery?

Yes, just like your cell phone, laptop, or other electronic device, the lithium/ion battery is protected by internal circuitry.

Is this compatible with the Soundlink revolve portable speaker from Bose?

The home speaker as well as the revolve are both in my possession. For the revolver, it doesn't work.

Is this weatherproof or resistant to the elements?

I know the speaker is, but I'm not sure about the cradle.

When the speaker is sat on the base, how can you tell if it's charging?

If you have voice prompts turned on (which you can do in the free Bose music app settings) and the Alexa or Google voice assistants turned on, the speaker will tell you its current battery status as soon as you place it on the charging cradle or base. The battery's current percentage and that it is charging will be announced by the voice prompt. It also lights up and powers on automatically even if the battery is dead or at 0 discharge rate. It automatically recognizes that it is now connected to power and turns on. br>br>It also tries to reconnect with the last device to which it was connected. If that device isn't available to connect to (for example, because the Bluetooth or Wifi on the device isn't turned on), the Bose speaker will try to connect to the second most recent device it was previously connected to. For instance, I have two devices connected to my Bose speaker. If the speaker cannot find my phone after being placed on the charger, it will attempt to connect to my iPod.

Selected User Reviews For Bose Portable Home Speaker Charging Cradle, Black

The Bose Portable Home Speaker can be used as a portable Bluetooth speaker as well as an always-on Bluetooth speaker
5/5

Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant on a smart speaker- However, if you intend to use it as a smart speaker, charging it twice a day isn't really necessary. Yes, you could simply plug it into a wall outlet 24 hours a day, but that would make the Bose Portable Home Speaker both less portable and less versatile. With this charging base, you can simply pick up the speaker by its handle whenever you want to use it as a portable Bluetooth speaker in a different room or outside your home, and then simply return the speaker, disconnect your Bluetooth audio device, and the Bose Portable Home Speaker will automatically charge. time to use the smart speaker once more The base blends in so well with the speaker that it appears to be a part of it. The charging cradle is extremely easy to use because the speaker only needs to rest on the cradle and there are no pins to line up. It's also reasonably priced for an official Bose product accessory, but that's likely because it's such a necessity that it should have come standard with the speaker in the first place. If you already own a Bose Portable Home Speaker, this accessory is a no-brainer and the only way to get the most out of your speaker. benefit from that high-priced speaker.

Slim, portable, and extremely cost-effective! The battery life on these incredible portable speakers isn't particularly long
5/5

These are now my primary speakers, and they are on for at least 10 hours every day. Basically, they're always with me, and I'd like to keep them charged at all times. They charge quickly, but using the USB port was inconvenient. C cable. I had been looking for a wireless charger, and this was it. It's small, portable, and makes charging my speaker a breeze! Love it. br>br>Note that it does not include a USB cable. You'll need to use the one that came with the speakers if you want to charge your speakers with a C cable.

It's a waste of time
3/5

Because of the brand and what I assumed was quality, I chose this stand to complement the Revolve portable speaker. It does not, however, come with a power cord; instead, a speaker cord and a micro-USB cable are required. USB. There is a problem with the receptacle. Either it's broken or it's the wrong size. In any case, the device isn't functional and isn't even required. Revolve is a fantastic speaker.

There is no cable provided with this item
3/5

I hope this information is useful to other people. My daughter received the speaker as a birthday present, but the cable was defective, and the tip broke after only two weeks on a brand new item. So I bought this. br>So, if you're hoping for a cable to charge your speaker, don't hold your breath; they duped us, and I'm writing this in the hopes that they won't dupe others. I'm gullible, to say the least. br>So, for 29 dollars, I'm expecting a cable that says.

This is a must have!! If you own or plan to purchase a Bose Portable Home Speaker, this charging dock is a must-have! Two Bose Portable Home Speakers and two charging docks are among my possessions
5/5

This is something you require. trust me. Don't waste any more time. The advantage of this charging dock or cradle is that it allows you to charge your speaker by gently placing it on the dock or simply leaving it there to be charged and ready at all times. It allows you to charge your speaker without having to plug and unplug the USB cable. br>br> Continuously connect the C cord to the speaker's base. You shouldn't keep plugging and unplugging this charging cable from your speaker because of its tight fit. Depending on how heavy your hand or fingers are, the constant inserting and removing of the speaker's charging insert may cause damage, which you do not want to happen to this expensive little speaker. The charging cradle or dock is the answer to all of this because all you have to do is keep the USB-C cable attached to it. Place your speaker on the dock with the C cord plugged in to charge it when needed. Don't check out without the charging dock(s) if you have the speaker(s) in your cart. It's a good investment.

This is an excellent charger
5/5

Everything is in order. br>I like that I don't have to place my speaker in a specific location like I did with the previous model. br>This charger does exactly what it says it will do. br>It's a lot more convenient than plugging and unplugging the speaker.

Great! It's a very simple device to use; all you have to do is plug it in to your computer's USB port
5/5

To charge, you'll need a C cable and a plug. The Bose speaker can be charged in any position on the charging base. There's no need to match electrodes or position the speaker in a specific way; simply place it on the table and it will begin charging. This is a clever design.

This is fantastic
5/5

I can take it from my bedroom to the kitchen or anywhere else in my apartment without having to turn it on or off or plug it in and out every time. I also like that I don't have to worry about aligning the speaker because I just place it on the cradle. It's ideal, and I can't imagine my life without it!.
