Made for Amazon Battery Base for Echo (4th generation), Black

Product Information

In an always-listening mode (the device is always standing by and waiting for your commands) the battery lasts for about eight hours. However, if you deactivate this mode and turn it on only when necessary, the battery could last for up to three weeks.

Since an internal battery would significantly increase the cost of the device, this option is beneficial for both parties. Those who want to use Echo Dot as intended can plug it in and leave it be. Others can easily find a suitable battery base. Each battery base, regardless of the version or manufacturer, should have an indicator informing you about the battery life. You might not know this, but Echo Dot doesn’t come with an internal battery. So, unlike your other smart devices (tablets, phones, etc.), plugging Echo Dot to an electric outlet won’t charge the device.What could be more convenient than having access to Alexa from your Echo device? Making that device portable so you can use it anywhere, of course. Our selections of battery bases do just that, letting you use Alexa services in the garage, on the patio, around the pool--anywhere your Wi-Fi coverage extends. Most bases have 4 small LED lamps that glow brightly when the device is fully charged. As the device loses power, the lights start to dim. The lights will gradually switch off, as the battery level drops. When only one lamp remains glowing, it’s time to recharge the batteries. That fact limits the Echo's portability and prevents people from taking it with them where they want to, such as into other rooms of the house, to the patio or garage, or to the park. And some people really do want to be that close to their Echo device at all times. A good battery base should last for about 12 hours and it should have a smart indicator that will preserve battery life while the device is idle.

If you don’t have any alternative solutions, the only way to move your Echo Dot around is to unplug it from the electric outlet (which will turn off the device), move it to another place, and plug it in there. It’s compact and light-weight, so it’s always tempting to move it around. However, if you unplug it, it will turn off. Fortunately, if you look online you may find external batteries made for Echo Dot that will grant the device some autonomy. Let’s find out more about it.
