Solution 1: Exit Battery protection mode

To preserve the battery life of Bose product, when speaker is not used for a period of time (usually more than 3 days) and is not connected to a wall outlet it will enter into battery protection mode. It is possible that Bose product will not power ON using its battery power if it is in battery protection, therefore to fix this you may need to exit battery protection mode.

To exit just connect Bose product to a power source using charging cable to charge it. Important reminder to keep in mind: When batter indicator on Bluetooth speaker is already blinking red, this means it is on low battery level. If this happens, make sure to charge the speaker. However if speaker will not be used for a longer period of time, make sure to place it in a cool dry place and make sure also it is not fully charged.

Solution 2: Check Battery level

If battery level is already drained, it is likely the cause for Bose product to not power on when using its battery power. To fix this, connect speaker to power source using USB cable and wait for at least 15 minutes to try powering it on again. It can take at least 15 minutes for Bose Bluetooth speaker to increase battery level.

Battery level can be checked based on the color of the battery light status:

• Green: battery is on 50% or more battery level
• Amber: battery is on 10-50% battery level
• Red (Blinking): battery is below 10% battery level

Solution 3: Make sure Battery is not depleted

If after checking battery level and charging it for a few minutes and the issue still exists, the next thing to do is to make sure that battery is not depleted. Lithium ion batteries can deplete for a continued use. If battery life is draining more than usual, it is likely possible that battery is already depleted that is why speaker will not turn on using its battery power.

To fix this, you may need to bring speaker in for service. Check where the nearest Authorized Bose service center in your area to have the battery replaced using a genuine replacement battery by an Authorized Bose technician.
