Hi, can I have Move plugged to power all time? would this damage or shorted it's battery life?

I would like to use Move as one permanent speaker in other part of the house while not used outside, but I wonder if this will damage its  battery at some point. Some systems has a "smart" battery management capabilities that use Power straight when battery has reached 100%, is this also applicable to Move?

 

Thanks a lot,

Hi @jrey00, welcome to the community.

 

Leaving Move on the charging dock long-term will not reduce the battery's lifespan.

 

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

    Hi @James L. Thanks for the feedback, and sorry to ask this, but is this a formal reply from Sonos? Or this is based on your experience? Is not that I do not trust your feedback, just wanted to make sure I'm not damaging the Move's battery by using it as permanent plugged speaker in winter, ;-)

    Thanks for your time

    It’s both :slight_smile:

    My Move basically lives in its charger and I haven’t noticed any degradation in battery life when I use it elsewhere (and I’ve had my Move for well over a year).
