Bluetooth Speaker not charging.

I don’t know if my answer helps, it was strange even for me but it worked so I will share it.

I have a PEAQ bluetooth box (quite cheap really) and I put it on charge all night and woke up finding it wasn’t charging at all. I plugged it in and out and in and out and it stays on red for a bit then goes completely off each time. I kept fooling around with the buttons and pressed the two buttons (button for forward and button for backward) at the same time for about two or three seconds and then it shut off and when I clicked on the play button (turn on button) this time it worked. It’s so random I have no idea if this helps but since it worked for me I’m sharing this trick.

I figured it out. Defiant multi color touch light speaker ….press the power and the mode button at the same time and hold them both down . And you will see the speaker light up again. . I did have it plugged in when I did it. Back to jammin!!!!

I think I fried built in charge controller with electric cigaret adapter. It has built in one and they must have not got along together.

The cigaret charger is designed to charge accumulator with same voltage. Maybe with smaller amperage but it should just take more time to charge.

I bypassed the built-in adapter (mounted on the battery) with a wire. Plugged into controlled adapter. Will see if it charges.

If nothing else, I will be stuck with this cigaret charger.

My speaker model is Intempo EE1736RGSTK.

Edit: It worked! After 2 hours of charging, the green light on adapter turned off and now to test the speaker, I have been listening to good music for good half an hour on battery.

After reading article on internet, I found that batteries can be charged with normal direct current too. It is just given the charging took 2h, that time should not be exceeded as there would be no stopper when battery is full.

So I am not even stuck with this adapter forever.

Hi, Please turn on the speaker and then try to charge it. Hope it works.

Get a new battery maybe is the answer lol

What I have been beating my head around was that once it stops charging, it stops also working with it just being wired. So literally today I discovered and therefore so surprised to see an update to this thread after several years of silence on the very exact date is that in order for the device to work off a USB cable (I believe you do not need the mobility that often anyway and if you did, you could just bring a battery pack) was to disconnect the faulty battery / circuit altogether because that is what drains the USB power supply and does not let the device to work. My thingy EE1736 had its battery charging circuit mounted on the actual battery so easy to remove with an elegant clip of scissors.

Extract the hairy beast out of your device to happily live ever after.

I now use the board from the speaker to power my computer speakers after my amplifier died and appear to be a decent choice.

I have a hackintosh, and as such, it does not have much to connect audio to. So I bought a USB audio DAC whatever it stands for which successfully (god, I low the English word sucks fully) died on me. So I, with no need of 3kW sound but 0.3W thought was ok, connected the motherboard from the above device as an amplifier. And it did work for a while. And I was able to connect to it via bluetooth. Sadly because it was bearbones, something touched something and it first started to make a sad buzzy noise and then stopped altogether. I still have the sad battery with its board attached to it. Laying on my desk along with gold Rolex watch from 1950s. At least one of them is still salvageable.
