, if the user uses an audio cable between the Bluetooth speaker and the iPhone there should be no battery drain other then the normal operation of playing music. Battery power would be no greater even if the Bluetooth radio was in use and the audio is being sent to the speaker from the phone to the speaker. There shouldn't be any grate noticeable power loss either way. The input on the speaker is for mp3 players with out Bluetooth.
I have a Bose Sound Doc 10 with a Bluetooth adapter. This lets me connect via the Bluetooth connection and does not require a cable however, there is such an input provided for players with out a Bluetooth capability just as there is not always a coc connector for every device. I can for example play my Victor Reader Stream through that audio in jack using an audio cable with male 3.5 Mm plugs on each end. I have never noticed any power differences between the Bluetooth connector or a cable. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris H To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2013 4:04 PM Subject: Re: using speaker with 3.5 jack Perhaps the 3.5 mm jak does not use the battery at all.

I have the hmdx jam jar speaker, which I love! If I remember correctly, it is 4 hours battery life via bluetooth and 12 hours via the 3.5 jack. Well, I have been mostly using it via the audio cable and I sware it has been way beyond 12 hours. > > Does it eventually draw any power from my iDevice? I'm baffled here, I've used it on bluetooth for a short while, but for the last couple weeks, I've used it exclusively via the cord. > > What do you think is up?
