Transform Your Echo Dot Experience
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unleash the Power of Portability I have been using the Amazon Battery Base with my Echo Dot 5th Gen, which has completely transformed my user experience. No longer confined to a stationary power outlet, I can carry my Echo Dot around my home, take it outside for BBQ parties, or relax on the deck. The battery lasts a solid 4.5 hours, providing plenty of time to enjoy music, get updates, or control smart home devices without worrying about running out of power. Elegant Design That Complements Audio Performance Before purchasing, one of my primary concerns was whether this base would affect the Echo Dot's audio performance. I am pleased to report that the design of the Amazon Battery Base elegantly blends with the Echo Dot without compromising its sound quality. It is not an additional, chunky accessory; instead, it integrates seamlessly, appearing as if it was part of the original Echo Dot design. Tailor-Made for Echo Dot 4th & 5th Gen I appreciate that this accessory has been specially designed for the Echo Dot 4th and 5th Generations. It fits perfectly, without any loose connections or awkward adjustments. Freedom From the Power Outlet The integrated battery feature is a game-changer. It allows for a liberating experience, especially when I want to take my Echo Dot to places where an electrical outlet is not readily available. Whether cooking in the kitchen, working in the garage, or enjoying a picnic, the Amazon Battery Base has made it incredibly convenient to have my Echo Dot by my side. Compatibility Done Right It is essential to note that this battery base is specifically compatible with the Amazon Echo Dot 4th and 5th generations. This focused compatibility ensures that the Amazon Echo Dot Battery Base performs optimally, providing a hassle-free and satisfying user experience. Final Thoughts The Mission Battery Base for the 4th and 5th Gen Echo Dot offers an outstanding solution for making your Echo Dot portable without compromising on design or audio performance. It is a reliable and stylish addition to the Echo ecosystem that has significantly enhanced my overall experience.

Useful in a very specific way
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the echo dot with the clock, and it serves as my primary clock for the morning rush, where it sits at the kitchen table while the kids get ready for.. whatever they do every day. There is no plug right there and it works nicely in the middle of the table for news radio, telling my kid the score of the game, asking the weather, and all the other basics families use Alexa for. We have a minimalist kitchen, and my wife doesn’t allow any gadgets. So every morning, I unplug this and carry it to the kitchen on my way down, where it lasts well into the night, depending on if anyone left it on. Not many people likely have a use case for a battery powered Alexa, I’d assume, but if you do, this should fit the bill. It functions as an Alexa should. It comes with a little adapter that plugs into the Alexa and into the battery. Then you use the original plug in the back of the battery. Pictures online show it going straight down but if you want the dot to look straight, the wire is diagonal. Which is totally not an issue. The real issue is there’s no off switch. It would be nice to be able to turn it off without fiddling with the plugs. Otherwise, it’s nice. When Alexa is muted, the bottom glows red through the cutout rings and the audio sounds perfect because nothing is blocked. Definitely worth a look if you need battery powered Alexa for some reason.

If you have an echo dot, you need this
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great accessory for your amazon echo dot. Definitely an item that I wasn't sure I needed but once I got it, I've been using it more than I thought. Opening the box you will get the base, a small connector that connects the base to the dot and a set up guide. It was pretty straight forward so I didn't really even look at the guide. Just line up the dot with inputs in the back of the base and plug in the connector. Then plug in the usb to the base and let the base charge for a bit. First thing I noticed is that I really like how the base and the dot looked together. Didn't look awkward or funny like I thought it might. Second, it gave the dot a much more stable stance. Third and most importantly, I didn't find any distortion from the speaker when it was on the base. I was worried that I would hear some vibrations, but no, even at the highest volume, it was fine. One of the best uses I got was because I have a Ring video doorbell, when I'm in the backyard with this unit near me, I can hear the ring announce when someone is at the front door. Very cool. I really like having the mobility of taking my dot anywhere around the house. I love that I can do yard work and have it right next to me and having all the abilities of Alexa with it. This is a great accessory and a definite must have.

Pretty cool little stand with battery backup
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So there's honestly not too much to review about this. You see what it looks like, your Amazon Echo Dot fits in it perfectly. I do like how they have it slotted where the blue illuminated ring shows through when you wake up or talk to your device. It comes with the battery/stand and one simple plug to daisy chain your Echo Dot to the base and the original plug that comes with your Echo Dot plugs into the base instead of your device now. That's really about it. Very simple to set up. Although I don't understand how your Echo Dot would still work with no Wifi even though it has the battery powered base attached. I get that the base/battery makes your Echo Dot portable but if I'm not mistaken I thought for your Echo Dot to work you had to have it connected to Wifi? So not to sure what exact features it'll actually be able to do if you take it with you somewhere that has no Wifi like camping or a picnic or something.I can't imaging someone would want to carry this around with them casually. As far as the stand goes It looks pretty cool I'd recommend it to others

Makes That Echo Dot Portable
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found the Amazon - battery base for the 4th and 5th generation Echo Dot to be a handy addition to the Echo turning it into a portable device. Upon unboxing the device I attached it and plugged in to charge the base with the included adapter. After about 5 hours of charging, I disconnected to the power cable to make it portable. The box advertised that it provided up to 4 hours of wireless power for the Echo Dot. I left the device playing Apple Music for the dogs while I went into the office and ran some errands. When I came back 5 hours later it was still playing so it seems that it provided even more power than advertised. The only negative that I found of the device was that it does not have a power level indicator so you do not know how much "juice" is left in the device. I would certainly hope that they add that in the next release of the unit. I would recommend this little device to anyone who wants the convenience of being able to move the Echo Dot around or use it outside. It is not as heavy as I expected that it would be.

Great for amazon echo
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I livd the Amazon Battery base for the Echo Dot. It fits perfectly into the base, it takes up minimal room , and it works perfectly. You can choose to keep your echo on the base or take it with you when you go outside. It charges quickly giving my device hours of charge time when using. I like the base because i can keep track of where my echo is and still have the same quality sounds as if it were next to me. I can enjoy playing music away from where it is which i love. This is compatible with the amazon echo gen 4. Its easy to set up and use. I highly reccomend getting thia for your echo. It doesnt take any tool to attach your echo. Overall i love having the battery base for portability, having a stand to keep track of my echo, and for how it doesnt take up much room on my desk or my side tables. The quality of sound for music is still the same. The base just gives you more portability of use to listen to music or anything else wherever around your home. Great for gatherings as well.

Take Your Echo Dot Anywhere In Or Around Your Home
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have you ever wanted to just simply bring your Echo Dot outside or move it to another room for a few hours? Has the thought of having to reach around or behind things to unplug it, bring it to another room, plug it back in and wait until it links back up to your WiFi make you think twice about doing it? This is just the thing you need! Make sure you have a 4th or 5th generation Echo Dot. This will not work with earlier versions of the Echo Dot. This is a simple, easy to use battery pack/stand for your Echo Dot that can make it portable. You can also use it as a plug-in stand for your Dot while not in use transporting to a location without access to a plug. I love being able to listen to my music or just simply ask a question when I am outside and this makes it easy to do. When I have friends sitting with me on my patio and they ask a question we don’t know the answer to, I just turn to the Dot and find the answer to their question. While watching the hummingbirds we had a lot of questions and learned a lot about them. I think the neighbors enjoyed it as much as I did. Set up of this battery pack is very easy. You will place your Dot into the battery base, making sure the cutout on the battery base aligns with the power outlet of the Dot. Plug the power adapter/jumper, which was loose in the box, into the left side of the battery base and the power outlet of the Dot. You will plug your power adapter for the base into the right side of it and then into an outlet for charging. After charging you simply unplug the power adapter from the base of the battery base/stand and you are now ready to take your Dot anywhere. I like that there is a rubber base on the bottom of the battery stand. The rubber makes sure your Dot is not sliding around on a counter or table. I have been able to bring this out to my garden area to listen to a podcast while gardening. I have had this out on the patio for music while hosting a party. You can bring your Dot as far as your WiFi reaches. I have found this battery pack makes my Echo Dot very versatile on how I use it. I think this is a wonderful thing to have. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to take their Echo Dot with them just about anywhere around their home.

Take the Echo Dot to a whole new level
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are big fans of the battery base for the Amazon Echo Dot. It was incredibly easy to set up. At a glance, I wasn't sure if the connector would be painful to get connected, but of course it was perfectly designed for this purpose and connecting easily. At first, my 11 year old wasn't sure there was much purpose for a battery base, but when I started explaining some of the different ways he could use it, his face lit up. It's incredibly easy to use. You keep it connected so it stays charged and disconnect when you are on the move. My son likes to have it in the bathroom for music while he showers. He also moves it around the house for entertainment when he's not in his room. He's also a big fan of bringing it into another room and using the echo in the room so that he can create surround sound for a dance party. It's been great. I would highly recommend it as an addition to your Amazon product line. The device is durable and of the quality you would expect for Amazon devices. We look forward to continuing to find additional ways to expand our echo's footprint now that we have the battery base.

Very Useful Accessory to Your Echo Dot
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Echo Dot Battery Base is a very useful accessory for your little Echo Dot. The Echo Dot fits snugly into the base which is designed to allow access to the power connections. You get a small jumper cable included with the battery base. The installation is intuitive but instructions are included if you want to ensure you make the connections correctly. Once completed your power will come into the battery base so you can disconnect it at anytime and move the Echo Dot coupled with the battery base to the kitchen or patio or any other convenient location – no muss and no fuss. You have a couple little LEDs to show you the charge status. One LED will turn off when fully charged and the other one will come on when you need to recharge the base. I noticed the battery base design is minimalist and looks very nice when coupled up with your Echo Dot. Also very important, when you play music through the Echo Dot, there is no vibration or distortion – nice going Amazon engineers. I definitely recommend this battery base that makes perfect sense as an addition to your Echo Dot to add even more portability.

Seemless "unplug and go" ability - Perfect design
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

makes your echo dot portable
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!
