Our SoundLink Mini Bluetooth Speaker is designed to be used whether it is actively charging or not. There is no concern when using it while charging, although it will charge at a slower rate. Thanks for the question!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Bose Soundlink Mini has a lithium Ion battery. Lithium Ion batteries have been shown to lose capacity if constantly charged. On the flipside, completely discharging them for an extended period of time will also diminish their capacity. They are much more durable to the older NiMH and NiCd batteries as they do not suffer from "memory effect". The Bose Soundlink Mini has a multi-colored power indicator. Flashing yellow means charging. Green is a charge of 70%-100%. Solid yellow is 20%-70%. Red indicates 20% or below. Ideally you will want to keep the charge between 20%-100%. I would recommend charging it full then using it wireless. Once it hits yellow, use it for a few more hours wireless while still yellow then charge it fully. This should maximize battery life. Luckily for you. Bose made this speaker with a replaceable battery while virtually all other Bluetooth speakers have an un-serviceable battery.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not at all. Just as with any modern electronic device with a built-in battery, you can use it while the device is charging. The dock is nothing more than a quick connection option for charging.
