You can also try using different power outlets even though the current one works. This has proven to solve the not charging problem for some users.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the speaker\u2019s charger is connected to a surge protector, ensure the outlet has power. You could also disconnect the surge protector and connect the speaker\u2019s charger directly to the power outlet to rule out the possibility of a faulty surge protector.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Replace the Charger\/USB Cable<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A faulty AC adapter or cable can also stop the speaker from charging.
