Yes! You can play music while the Jam5 charges, but we recommend a full charge before first use for best battery health.
Whether you're mid-playlist or streaming a podcast, the Jam5 is designed to keep playing even while connected to power. This flexibility makes it a great companion for long sessions at home, work, or on the road.
That said, here are a few important tips to keep in mind:
-
Use the right charger. To ensure your Jam5 charges properly while in use, make sure you're using the Trulli-provided power block or a compatible USB-C charger that supplies 15V 2A. Incompatible chargers may not provide enough power to keep the Jam5 charged during playback.
-
Expect slower charging while in use. Using the Jam5 while charging may result in slower charge times—especially at high volumes—because the device is drawing power while also trying to replenish the battery.
-
First-time setup. For the best initial performance, we recommend giving your Jam5 a full charge before your first use. This ensures optimal battery conditioning and readiness.
-
Charging indicators. While plugged in, the LED bars will light up to indicate charging progress. Once fully charged, the lights will turn off automatically.
In summary, you can absolutely use your Jam5 while it charges—just be sure you’re using the proper charger and understand that charging speed may be affected during use. If you have any issues or questions about charging, we're here to help.
