Extend battery life - How to get the most out of your wireless audio device

If your speaker's battery life is decreasing, there may be several factors to blame. The most obvious cause is thevolume: the higher you turn it up, the more power it uses.At maximum volume, battery life can quickly be cut in half.

Enabled sound enhancements, such as bass boost or surround effects, consume additional power.Bluetooth connectionsover long distances also result in increased power consumption, as the device must use more energy to maintain a stable signal.

Furthermore, theaging processof lithium-ion batteries should not be underestimated. After about 500 charge cycles, capacity often begins to decline noticeably—a natural process that can, however, be slowed down with proper care.

With the right settings, you can significantly extend the runtime of your audio device:

• Start by selecting amoderate volume—the difference between 80% and 100% is often minimal in terms of sound quality, but battery consumption increases exponentially.
• Disable unused featuressuch as WiFi connections if you're streaming via Bluetooth anyway. At the same time, keep the distance to the connected device as short as possible—because the closer the devices are to each other, the less energy is required to maintain the connection.
• With many sonoro models, you can also choose between differentsound profiles—neutral settings without bass boost require less power than complex sound optimizations.
• Take advantage of built-inpower-saving modes that reduce power consumption during extended periods of inactivity. Thedisplay brightnesson devices with screens also plays a role—the brighter the display, the higher the power consumption.

To protect the battery of your audio device in the best possible way, there are a few points that should be observed during the charging process:

• Forlithium-ion batteries, it is advisable to keep the charge levelbetween 20% and 80%. You should avoid completely discharging the battery or constantly charging it to 100%. Although modern devices have overcharge protection, it still puts a strain on the battery if it is constantly left plugged in at full charge.
• If the device will not be used for an extended period,it is recommendedto store it with the battery at about 50% charge in a cool, dry environment.Extreme temperatures significantly impair battery performance—therefore, avoid direct sunlight or sub-zero temperatures. Even if the device is not used for an extended period, the battery should still be charged once every few months. Thisprevents deep dischargeand extends the battery’s lifespan.

Taking good care of your wireless speaker pays off—not only with longer music sessions, but also with a longer overall battery life.Moderate volume, disabled additional features, and optimal charging cyclesare the most important factors for maximizing battery life. You should also make sure tochargethe deviceonce every few months, even when it’s not in use.
