Introduction
The charging port on the Marshall Kilburn II, over the time could get defective and need replacement.
The charging port is designed to ensure the battery gets the right amount of charge it needs to function properly. Without the battery getting the right amount of charge to power up the speaker, the speaker won't be able to have a long-lasting experience, which could cause the battery to go bad over time.
In 2.5 hours, the Marshall Kilburn could get a full charge and provide 20hr of playing time, if the charging port is damaged the time it takes to charge could get longer.
Replacing the charging port is quite simple. Simply just take the back cover of the speaker off and disconnect the charging port, then replace it with a new one. All you will need is a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
