Q: QuestionCan this be recharged using a 12 volt source like car aux charging ports or cigarette lighter???

Asked 4 years ago by Jim.

• A:Answer Hello Jim, Thanks for the question. Yes, you can use an Aux (USB charging port) in your car, or Lighter adapter to USB. You will need the supplied charging cable (USB A to USB C) or similar cable to charge the XB33. Charging the XB33 in the car may charge slower than wall outlets. Hope this helps, Romeo

Q: QuestionHow many hours or how long of life will this speaker last? A year, two, three?

Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi there, thank you so much for your inquiry. It is difficult for Sony or any other manufacturer to quote the life expectancy and total operating time for a product. Certain variables, such as the amount of use (or lack thereof) a product receives and the environmental conditions in which a product is being used, play a part in the life expectancy and total operating time of a product. Thank you kindly for your understanding and thanks for considering Sony! - Romeo
