Urbanista’s latest Bluetooth speaker, the Malibu, incorporates innovative solar cell technology, promising virtually limitless battery life. Building upon the success of Urbanista’s previous solar-powered audio devices like the Los Angeles over-ear headphones and Phoenix earbuds, the Malibu leverages Exeger’s Powerfoyle solar cells, capable of harnessing energy from both indoor and outdoor light sources.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to Wired, the Malibu features a 3,600mAh built-in battery that typically provides around 30 hours of battery life. However, when exposed to sunlight, this can extend to a theoretical 45 hours of playback.<\/p>\n

Even when used indoors near a window, you can expect up to six months of usage before the battery depletes. Under ideal conditions of constant sunlight exposure and occasional indoor recharging by a window, the speaker’s battery life could effectively last indefinitely.<\/p>\n

Urbanista offers a companion app for monitoring Malibu’s charging status and provides information on solar power input. Unlike Urbanista’s solar-powered headphones, the Malibu won’t recharge during use in sunny environments due to the exponential increase in power consumption with higher volume levels. Additionally, the app offers EQ controls for customizing the speaker’s sound profile.<\/p>\n
