I was already an owner of an older &#8220;Block Rocker&#8221; and I definitely had situations where the battery would die on me faster than I expected.  Yes, the battery last 10s of hours (50, 75 or more depending on the model!) but that seems to be based on radio usage, and I found that connected to bluetooth it drains the battery much more considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Solar Block rocker brings all the features you&#8217;d expect from the ION product line&#8230;   a big loud sound, long battery life, built in radio and microphone support&#8230; and this model also includes a little light show on the front of the device!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course it also has a solar panel for charging the battery.  We&#8217;ve used the device outside and with bluetooth connectivity for music and have never had the batter run out on us&#8230; but this is FAR from scientific as I didnt put much focus on the length of run time, drain, and charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I promise that if my path crosses again with an ION speaker product, I will do a much more scientific review!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ION Solar Rocker Review\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XpLSFs6Ynm8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ion Audio seems to have a never ending stream of products coming out in its BlockRocker line of portable speakers, and earlier this year we picked up the Solar Block rocker at BJ&#8217;s Warehouse club.
