Amazon - Echo Dot Battery Base for 4th and 5th Gen Echo Dot - Black

If you have an Echo Dot 4th or 5th Generation, you need this battery base! It's a must-have accessory for anyone who wants to use their Echo Dot on the go. The 10000mAh capacity gives you plenty of power for all your Alexa needs, and the black color is sleek and stylish. It's so convenient to be able to take my Echo Dot with me anywhere in the house without having to worry about finding a power outlet. The battery lasts for hours and charges quickly.It's so easy to snap in and out, and the battery life is impressive. I often work outside in my garage, so it's great to have my Echo Dot within reach. The one drawback that I have to mention though, is the Plug from the battery Base is "white" and that is the only reason that I took a "star" off. If you have something that works flawless, white have a white cord to make it look less appealing. I do understand that the cord is not a permanent piece of the the battery base, but if you want to make a product look perfect go all the way with the black, other than that I Highly recommend!

I have an Echo Dot that I use as an alarm clock to play music in the morning. Most of the time, the Dot lives there as part of my daily routine. I like to sit out on my deck when the weather is nice. I enjoy the “radio” stations that Amazon creates on the fly when I ask Music to play a song. Unfortunately, I don’t have any power outlets on the deck. In the past, when I wanted to listen to music, I’ve used my phone, but the sound isn’t great. I picked up a battery for the Dot and its come in very handy! Now, I can bring the Dot outside with me and get full voice control functionality. I can easily play baseball games, using my MLB subscription, call up whatever music I’m in the mood for, and otherwise use the Dot just as I do at my bedside. The battery lasts as long as I’ve needed it to. I’ve used it for more than 3 hours playing music. I expect it could have lasted longer, but I was done outside and I brought it in. When I brought it upstairs 5 hours later, the battery light still showed it had power left, even though it was listening that whole time. The only issue I have with it is how the lights are passed through. The Dot has a ring at the bottom which glows different colors, depending on the feedback from Amazon. For example, it glows blue to show the keyword has been activated. The battery has slits in the side to allow the lights to shine through. Unfortunately, they don’t work as well as they’re designed to. If I’m laying in bed, I can see the lights from the side, but if I’m standing up, they’re invisible. Prior to using the battery base, I could see them as they reflected off the night stand. Because of how the battery is shaped, the light is blocked to the surface as well. While not an issue, I also would have liked to have the option to charge the battery with a USB-C cable. That would open the flexibility to bring the Dot with me when I travel and allow me to use the multi plug charger that I take with me. Overall, it’s a good solution to an edge case usage for the Dot. It does what it claims to without too much fuss.

The Amazon Battery Base for Echo dot is a unique and interesting addition to use with my 5th Generation Echo Dot. At first, I wasn't really sure what the use case would be for a "wireless" Echo Dot, but I have definitely found several creative and fun uses! The battery connects to the Echo Dot with a lever-type connection and then the power is plugged in to the other hole. Pros: - Echo pretty much anywhere (at least anywhere you have WiFi) - SUPER simple set up - Allows you to take your dot with you around your house or workplace as long as it can connect to the WiFi it was originally set up with. - The sound seems richer with much more base; this is probably because in the kitchen or even on the dashboard in my car, the dot is totally exposed on all sides rather than up against a wall (as shown in my picture). NOTE: I named the WiFi in my car to match the WiFi in our home so it does work in the car, but I was not able to connect it to either an iPhone or Android hotspot without renaming the network. Cons: - The only real "con" to this battery base for Echo Dot is it isn't for "everywhere." You need to be in range of the WiFi network the dot was originally activated with. - Does NOT connect easily to a phone hotspot; it needs to match the network it was set up on OR connect it to another network to be saved in the Alex app. This is a great little tool to make Echo Dots somewhat more portable.

The batter base for the Amazon Echo Dot is a great little addition to your existing Echo Dot. What it enables you to do is make your Echo Dot portable. I have the 4th gen Echo Dot. It was just in our guest bedroom so our guest could use Alexa when spending the night. Now we can use it in our backyard, front yard, anywhere in the house. You will need wifi to connect to the internet. I have not tried using my phone’s internet to use it away from home, like the park or the beach. The Echo Dot sits on top of the base. The base itself has a battery. It comes with a U-shaped adapter. You connect the base to the Echo Dot. Then you use the existing charging cable to charge the base and power the Echo Dot. Once the base is charged, you can now unplug and bring the Echo Dot anywhere. The base design is nice. It looks like it is part of the Echo Dot. I really like the way it looks. Right now, I have it on a bookshelf in the office. As soon as I come in, I say a command to Alexa, and it runs a routine to start my day. Very cool. I recommend this for those who want to be able to move the Echo Dot around the house and yard where you have wifi connection. It extends the usability of the device.

Finally! My Echo Dot 4th Gen is free from wired attachment! There are always times when I would like to bring my Echo with me to various parts of the house but the hassle of disconnecting and reconnecting it prevents me from doing so. Thanks to this Amazon Battery Base that is no longer an issue. Installation is incredibly simple, just disconnect the Echo, place it on the base, connect the two-pronged plug to attach the Echo to the base, and connect the base to the power to charge it. Once it is charged you can unplug it and place it wherever you want, so long as Wi-Fi is available, and it will go for hours. It is very lightweight, sturdy, and adds a nice appeal to the look of the Echo Dot. The battery lasts up to five hours before needing to be recharged. What’s great about it is that it can remain plugged in without issue. In other words, there is no risk of damaging the battery life of the base by keeping it plugged in until it needs to be moved around again. I genuinely recommend this base to anyone who has an Echo Dot 4th or 5th Gen. The freedom of movement and the aesthetic design are thoroughly worth it.
