Box does not say you need a charger cord and no charger cord is included inside. Also it doesn't tell you anywhere, even online, what kind of charger cord you need. Naturally it is not one that I actually have. Won't be buying any more products from this company.

We appreciate your feedback. To reduce electronic waste, our JBL Grip and other newer JBL products don't include a charging cable. You may use any USB-C charging cable and power adapter with a power rating of at least 5 volts and 3 amps.
So freaking disappointed, I bought this to go with my other JBL speakers for some stupid reason I’m unable to use it in party mode with my other speakers, so now I have this useless speaker that doesn’t connect to my other speakers. Why the heck with this company produce a speaker that is incompatible with it’s OWN other products
