Battery light needs improvement
2 out of 5 rating

I've been using my new Boombox 3 for 4 months now. It sounds great! The battery only lasts 6 hours on max volume. It last about 12 hours on 3/4 volume and 18 hours on half volume.
Here's three massive improvements that are required, in my opinion.
1. Make the bottom flat all the way from end to end and widen the bottom so that it is more stable. It rolls around all the time. If you even slightly bump it, it becomes a rolling pin.
2. Put the LED battery/charging light on top of the unit by the on/off button and volume buttons. Why did you think it was a good idea to put it on the bottom of the speaker where you can't see it?
3. Make the LED battery/charging light a digital readout. Level 0 through 10. You have a limited idea of how much battery life is left until the light bar turns red. At that point you're down to 15 minutes to an hour left of play time depending on the volume you're at. That's also providing you pick it up and check the light periodically.
