A:AnswerNot without breaking the seals that keep it waterproof. My battery didn't last very long past warranty period. When it failed, it failed completely. I can't even keep it plugged in and turned on. I replaced the battery, but now the Bluetooth doesn't work. It sucks this speaker cost this much then doesn't last very long. Disappointed in JBL. I'll buy another brand. Done with JBL. Support didn't care.
A:AnswerQuestion 1. NO
Question 2. Normally an 1 hr with the charger it came with it. Can be longer depending on what level the battery was left with prior to charging.
Hope this helps!
A:AnswerYes it's compatible with Siri and Google Assistant. It will accept commands from either. But not from Alexa. You also have to configure the play button to work as an assistant with the JBL connect app. Be sure to make sure your Flil is paired and connected to your phone before you open the JBL connect app. Otherwise that app will never discover your speaker.
A:AnswerI do not recommend this model for sustained listening to music that is mixed in a way that challenges the integrity of the speaker. Mine blew out after a few months of light usage.
