System and method for charging playback device battery

Abstract

Systems and methods for charging a battery of an audio playback device are disclosed herein. An example method performed by a media playback system includes receiving power from a first power source to charge a first power storage device of a first playback device according to a first charging scheme, and receiving power from a second power source to charge a second power storage device of a second playback device according to a second charging scheme. The system receives instructions for forming a group for synchronized audio playback and obtains one or more power parameters associated with the first playback device and / or the second playback device. Upon receiving the instruction to form the group, the system modifies the first charging scheme based on the one or more power parameters, and then receives power from the first power source to charge the first power storage device in accordance with the modified first charging scheme.
