Hi, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoy the sound quality of the Bose Portable Smart Speaker, and we’d like to help you get the best performance from it. While the speaker can last up to 12 hours when playing and up to 24 hours in standby mode, the rechargeable battery will drain slightly when the speaker is not in use, especially if Alexa or Google Assistant is connected, since the speaker continues listening for voice commands in standby mode. To conserve battery life, if you’re done listening and don’t need voice assistant functionality, press and hold the Power button for two seconds to fully power off the speaker. Please note that the speaker will not appear in the Bose app when it is fully powered off. If you notice that the battery is draining faster than usual, our online guide has tips than can help improve battery life.
