There is no harm in leaving your JBL Xtreme 3 connected to electricity at all times. The battery will not overcharge. You can simply pick it up, unplug it from the charger, and be on your way, knowing that you have a full charge. However, if you’d like to conserve electrical energy, disconnect from charging.

Thanks for your question. Our JBL Xtreme 3 and JBL Xtreme 2 have different wireless-connect features that are incompatible with each other. The JBL Xtreme 3 has a Partyboost, while the JBL Xtreme 2 has the Connect+ feature. These speakers can only connect with another speaker with the same wireless connect feature.

Our JBL Xtreme 3 has a total output power of 60W rms.

Please try to perform a factory reset on your JBL JBL Xtreme 3. With the speaker on, press and hold the Volume+ and Pause/Play buttons for 5-6 seconds. The Xtreme shuts down and is now reset. You will have to 'forget' the speaker in Bluetooth settings on your phone/tablet in order to pair it again. If you need more help, please reach out to our JBL Customer Support.

Our JBL Xtreme 3 will charge in your car if its power supply has 5V/9V/12V/20V input wattage with 3A of current for optimal charging. If the amperage of the power supply in your car is lower, the JBL Xtreme 3 may take some time to get a full charge.

I ended up leaving the Iphone hooked up all night to the speaker, them I turned the power off and back on several times while it was blutoothed to my Iphone and then it didnt have any problem this morning downloading the update, maybe turning my phone and apeaker off then back on several times made the difference.

Please ensure the JBL Xtreme 3 has a sufficient charge throughout the software/firmware update. You can also try to update your speaker while charging or connected to a power supply. It is best to leave the speaker while updating without doing anything to it to prevent the update from interrupting. Alternatively, you may try to use a different device to update the software to see if the issue happens across multiple devices. If you need more help, please contact our customer support for us to work with you directly.

Thank you for your Inquiry. The PartyBoost feature is not available when your JBL Xtreme 3 is connected to a computer via Bluetooth. This is a technical limitation. When connected to a computer, the computer is acting as the primary device. Therefore, the JBL speaker does not have control of re-transmitting the Bluetooth signal to other JBL speakers.

Yes. Through the Partyboost feature, our JBL Xtreme 3 can be linked to our JBL Boombox 3. To do this, connect the first Partyboost speaker to your phone, play music, and then press the Partyboost button. Once done, simply turn on the other compatible speaker and press the Partyboost button.
