I purchased the Flip 7 to replace my old Flip 4, which, after many years failed to hold a charge. Given the sound quality, build, and usefulness of the Flip 4, getting a Flip 7 was an easy choice.
Battery is horrible dies after 3 hours after being fully charged

Thanks for your feedback on our JBL Flip 7. The published up-to-playtime is the maximum battery time you will get when listening at background levels. As you turn up the volume, the playtime will be reduced, much like a phone battery when you brighten the screen. The same goes for source material. Music with more bass will also reduce playtime. It is possible that the battery is working correctly, but depletes more quickly when the volume is very loud and/or the bass has been boosted. Please try to charge the battery to 100% and then listen to music without any bass boost, and at a very low volume. If the battery lasts close to the published up-to-playtime, the battery is working fine. However, if you get less than 90% of the published spec, this likely means that the battery is losing its capacity.

I’ve waited a long time to pull the trigger on this investment. Pretty bummed, it only stays charged for a couple hours. Not the kind of battery life I wanted for the price. Disappointing

I’ve had this speaker less than a month. When I try to plug it in to charge, all the buttons light up and the speaker beeps, and the speaker won’t charge. Extremely frustrating considering the price and how long I’ve had it. It was a great speaker before it randomly stopped working.
