Bases for turning the Echo and Echo dot into portable speakers

Amazon’s Echos are wired . For most people, this is not an impediment, but it is true that there are some locations where we may not have a plug at hand, making the installation of one of these devices a bit difficult. Other users even prefer to move the voice assistant around the room , and for this there are portable bases for smart speakers.

Alexa wireless? for what?

Bases for turning the Echo and Echo dot into portable speakers
Whether you want to take Alexa into the bathroom to play music for you, or take the Echo on a hike like a Star Wars droid, Amazon Echo charging cradles are the solution for you. You can move your assistant freely , very useful if we want to have the help of Alexa on the terrace , for example, or if we simply prefer to have a cable-free installation .

At first, there were only charging bases for the original Echo, the big one, but little by little new products have been emerging compatible with the Echo Dot , which is the most popular speaker that Amazon sells.

These accessories are used to place the assistant on its surface, and integrate a rechargeable battery that will make our Echo more autonomous than ever. In all these cases, the qualities of the smart speaker remain intact, of course, being able to continue enjoying the streaming music services that you normally use, handle the various connected devices that you have configured and even take advantage of its temperature sensor if you are interested.

Types of bases for Echo

The current fourth generation Echo docks use a power port located at the base of the device. They also use the carabiner type thread that is also found on the bottom and that is not found on the Echo Dots either. Once docked, the Echo and base will form a fixed device and we will not have to separate them at any time.

Regarding the Echo Dot models , they use other closure systems to make them fixed, either by pressure, with hooks or using glue, since these more affordable versions of the Amazon assistant do not have the screw on the back of the product. Regarding the power of the Dot, it is done through a cable that comes out of the base and connects to the standard charging port of the Echo.

You must be very careful before choosing a base to make your Amazon Echo wireless. It is necessary that you make sure that the model you want to buy is compatible with the one you have at home, since each computer has its design and its different charging system, so you should check it before pressing the buy button.

The best bases to make your Amazon Echo portable

GGMM D4 Dot Base

This model has a 5,200 mAh battery and promises an autonomy of more than 6 hours of playback . The coupling is done by means of a double-sided adhesive . The station is only compatible with the fourth generation Dot , it is available only in black and its design has been taken care of so that it does not interfere with the microphone or the sound reproduction of the terminal. Charges in approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes using the Dot’s original charger.

PlusAcc Battery Base for Dot 4th

The PlusAcc’s design is similar to that of the GGMM D4 in the previous paragraph, but it has a much larger battery, almost double, as it is capable of delivering 10,000 mAh . Its price is very similar, which makes this product a very interesting option if you want to have a wireless Amazon Echo . It is compatible with all fourth generation Echo Dots and has an autonomy of use of 24 hours on standby, 12 hours at 100% volume and 16 hours if we set the tone below 50%. Recharges in 6 hours using the Dot’s 15-watt charger. It is anchored to the device using side tabs that snap right into the edge of the speaker fabric.

I-box for Echo Dot 3

If your Dot is of the previous generation , this model interests you. This station has a very interesting design, since the Dot is encapsulated inside the I-Box in a very simple way and preserving the same original design , only occupying more volume. It has a 10,000 mAh battery and offers you 12 hours of playback on a single charge. It is available in white and in black to match the color of the Echo.

Mission Battery Base for Echo 4

This model is designed exclusively for the fourth generation Echo (the big one) . Installing it is very simple, because we will only have to remove the cover of the Echo’s charging port, put the sphere on the Mission Battery base and tighten the thread from below . Once docked, Mission Battery and your Echo will be one. The advantage of this combination is that the base receives the charge from the Echo using the original charger. This means that we do not have to charge the base separately , but we can have our Echo plugged in at home and disconnect it at any time to make it wireless. It will simply be necessary that wherever you put it, there is a Wi-Fi connection.

The Mission base is available in two colors . Regarding autonomy, the manufacturer does not offer data, although it should exceed 6 hours of uninterrupted playback without any problem.

Mission Battery Base for Echo 4 Dot

The same manufacturer has another model available exclusively designed for the fourth generation Echo Dot . The mechanism of the bracket is totally different, since, since there is no thread or the bottom loading slot in the Dot, the guys at Mision Battery have had to redesign the product a bit. This version hugs the sphere of the Dot being careful not to affect its sound pickup and emission capabilities. The fastening is done only with the cable , so we are going to have a product as solid as in the case of the Echo 4. It has 5 hours of autonomy playing content and is also available in two colors.
