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!

Our home has smart speakers all over the place. We actually have a few Echo Dots and a few from some other competitors. When I saw that they offered a battery base for the Echo Dot I jumped at the change to get this in my hands. First the only criteria to get this to work is to have a 4th or 5th get Echo Dot, then it’s just a matter of using the included cable to connect the Dot to the base. You connect the AC adapter for your Dot to the base and let it charge up. I left mine charging for a couple of hours before I started using it. That evening I took it out to my backyard while I was grilling and it worked perfectly. Lasted a few hours while we were outside hanging out, then plugged it back in when we went inside. This did exactly what I expected. I would say the only thing that I was a bit bummed about is that there is no battery status lights that tell you how much batter life you have left. So I’d say just make sure it’s plugged in after every use to make sure you are always topped off and ready to go. The manual said that you should get 4 hours of battery life, and I got close to that a few times without issues. This is a handy little device to turn any of your 4th or 5th Gen Echo Dots into little portable Wi-Fi speakers, you can also connect to bluetooth to your speaker as well. This is giving an Echo Dot a second life in my home.

The Amazon - Battery Base for the 4th and 5th Gen Echo Dot is a simple device add-on that transforms your Echo Dot into a portable smart speaker that can be used anywhere within range of a Wi-Fi network. I have a 4th generation Echo Dot with clock that I keep in my home office. I can now take it to other rooms in the house that don’t have a smart speaker, such as the kitchen to enjoy news and music while having breakfast or dinner. Moreover I can now take the Echo Dot out on the deck in the backyard where there is no outlet to plug it in. The setup is super simple, just unplug your Amazon Echo Dot power adapter cable from the back of your device, insert the Echo Dot into the battery base, connect the short power cable between the battery and the Echo Dot and plug the power adapter cable to the right side of the battery base. Wait a few hours for the battery to charge, and then you can use it on the go. Without a visible battery charge indicator, you will not know when you’re running low, so don’t forget to plug it back into the charger as frequently as needed.

This should have been made a long time ago. If you have an Amazon echo dot 4th or 5th generation this is a must buy. It should have been made a long time ago. You can still see the light ring on the bottom there are holes although i wish it would have been more of them or a see through plastic in that area. The battery lasts 5-6 hours which is not bad . You can take it with you around the house which i do. Since i have only 2 outlets in the kitchen i bring the echo dot there now that i have the battery. I can also take it to the backyard which is nice since i have my doorbell camera synced with the echo dot i can hear the doorbell outside through the echo dot. Another good thing about this is that it raises the height of the echo dot another 2- 3 inches . This can be bad for some, but i like it since i have the clock version of the echo dot. Only a few things they could improve on like i mentioned before about the light ring on the bottom of the echo this battery its covered up a bit too much. I also wish it had a bigger battery like 10 hours at least because if you play it on max volume it uses more power for those reasons i have to give it 4 stars

This is one of those things that I wish I knew about long ago. Of course the sound quality is something I love about my echo dot and one of the major drawbacks is not being able to bring it with me room to room or out to the garage while I work on my car. This solves that problem. The one thing I have to say right off the bat is that the battery life is not that great I expected more out of it and thats the only reason I rated it at 4 stars. It only lasts about 3-5 hours max depending on what you’re doing etc. However if you have it “idle” it will last about 10 or so hours which to me personally I expect something like this to provide at least 8 hours of music and say 24 hours idle time it kind of defeats the purpose of having this bases battery ability imo. Regardless again the use for me is excellent I can now bring my dot out to the garage with me and not have to worry about plugging back in and reconnecting to wifi and everything it just makes it a seamless situation which is much appreciated. I honestly would use my phone before because I do a lot of work in my garage and thought about just buying another dot but im too lazy to be bothered with another setup (lol). This I can just take the cable out and walk with it to go work and walk back and plug it back in and all is well. Sturdy base, feels good, the connection seems like it may fatigue over time but again time will tell there. For now it works perfectly.

you need a 4th or 5th generation amazon echo dot for this to work, so I was interested to see how this would work, since I have both generations at home now. It comes in black and white, so I chose the black one, to match my 4th gen echo dot, and connected it and plugged it in to charge. it has kind of an unusual way of connecting to and charging the echo dot, but once I looked at a couple of photos, it made more sense to me. Charged it for the recommended time, and then unplugged it and took it outside. It worked exactly the same as the device works when plugged in, so its a nice way to have an assistant with you anywhere you go, it also works as an auxiliary speaker, via wifi or Bluetooth, so that's a nice thing to be able to do, if you don't own any other portable battery powered speakers. The only downside is the lack of battery charging indicators on the front, so you could tell at a glance how much battery is left when you are finished using it, so you should get in the habit of plugging it in when done to keep it topped up. nice little add on for the echo dot!
