            Battery Life Also, they both take around 4.5 hours to fully charge. However, though these specifications are the same, there is a drastic difference in how long they can play on a single charge. The JBL Pulse 3 can play 12 hours on a single charge. The JBL Charge 3 can play 20 hours on a single charge.Nov 27, 2018
