“Is there a way to power this with AC to avoid using the Li-ion battery? I like the portability of this device, but would also like to use it as a stationary computer speaker which would mean I'd have it powered on most hours of the day. To avoid straining the battery, is there an option to plug it in directly to an outlet? If turned on while sitting on the dock, does it use the battery or the incoming current from the AC?”

When connected to an outlet our SoundLink Mini speaker does not receive its power from the battery, only from the A/C current. The system comes packaged with a wall charger. Thanks!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use the device as both a computer speaker and a bluetooth speaker. That's what I do. I have the speaker on the desk for use with the computer when I am at the computer and then take it off the base for use in other locations. You can use it in either Bluetooth or Aux mode. In Aux mode you just use a speaker wire and plug it into the computer directly. (Wire not included). Then you can move it and use it in bluetooth mode. In fact I have the speaker synched to my iPad for bluetooth use and directly connected to my Mac for desk use. When setting on the base the speaker will initially draw from the battery, but then start drawing directly from power base and lasts all day that way. Battery is extremely long lived though. I have used mine for over 7 hours without it being exhausted.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can plug the cord directly into the speaker. It doesn't have to be docked to charge it.
