Ninety7 LOFT Portable Battery Base for Google Home (Carbon)

This is brilliant. Perhaps a little tricky to detach from the cord sometimes but I'm sure that'll wear in. This does, however, fix the obvious and fundamental problem with the Google Home - no battery for portability. Now I can take my Home to the garden, for example, or any other room I like within WiFi range. Tip: No Wifi? Set your phone hotspot to the same credentials as your home Wifi and tether. Then you can go ANYWHERE! 8 hour battery life was, I thought, optimistic, but I've manged to get over 9 out of it the other week at a BBQ. Best accessory for the Home I ever got!

Unfortunately it has to be charged using the original power cord. This would be fine and charges fine but it is awkward to pull the power cord out when wanting to use it powered by the battery not the mains. The google power cord has not been made to keep being removed from the unit. I fear my power cord may end up unusable after constant use. The battery really needs to come with an optional extension lead to plug the google power cord into rather than straight into the bottom of the unit. Update (15/03/2020): The battery has died. I would not purchase this product again.

Great product and gives Google home the portability to be moved from room to room and even the garden (if WiFi reaches)

Great idea but didn’t work on arrival and when trying to return they want me to pay for postage to the US to return which would be more than I paid so it’s just gone in the bin.

I purchased this battery pack so I could use my Google home in my garage that only has solar power for my lights. Unfortunately when it arrived like many others have said mine was dead on arrival and would not charge. Basically these are only stock and the blackberry phone batteries used inside them are totally drained. I followed the review that instructed me how to charge one of the blackberry cells manually. 2 hours later and the unit was fully charged and fully operational. Well chuffed with overall solution. Portable google home and blue tooth speaker for less than the cost of a cheap Bluetooth speaker

Very happy with this used it loads of time

Unfortunately the speaker didn't work

Was a great addition for 8 months and then it just stopped working. I reconnected the original cover and the speaker still works so unfortunately it is the battery.

Frustrated by the lack of affordable battery-powered Google speakers, I decided to try this device despite the negative reviews. I've had several JBL Link speakers in the past, all of which have unfortunately failed. Replacing the internal batteries in those JBL speakers proved to be nearly impossible, even with online guides, and also doesn't fix the well known "clicking" problem those speakers seem to develop over time. While this battery base seems to require a bit of initial effort to get started, the fix is quite straightforward, and well worth it, and the first generation Google Home speakers are solid performers, and can be found at reasonable prices on the used market. As many other reviews have noted, these appear to be new-old-stock units with completely discharged internal batteries, rendering them non-functional due to a flawed charging design. However, you only need to apply a small charge to one of the internal batteries to revive the device. This does require opening the unit: first, carefully remove the rubber base (applying gentle heat from a hairdryer or space heater can soften the adhesive). Then, unscrew the four Phillips head screws holding the case together. Inside, you'll find four Blackberry NX1 batteries. Note their orientation during removal, as the top battery has a rubber bumper, and the top two are installed in the opposite direction of the bottom two. To jumpstart the speaker, remove at least one battery and briefly apply a small voltage to its positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Many suggest using a USB charging cable for this. I personally used an old cell phone battery and paper clips to connect the positive and negative contacts of the old battery to the corresponding contacts on the removed speaker battery. Once this is done, reinstall all the batteries, plug in your charging cable, and the unit should power on. Despite this initial step, the current clearance price makes this battery base an exceptional value. You simply couldn't buy the individual components to build this yourself for anywhere near the same cost. In fact, I'm so pleased with it that I've ordered a second one as a backup, anticipating the eventual failure of the batteries in this one. Having an extra unit provides me with four additional replacement batteries down the line. I'll also keep watching this in my Amazon cart, and may even order a third. Once this device was charged, I was able to use my google home unplugged for over 6 hours, with battery life left to spare. I am once again free to listen to music on my patio, even though there are no outlets available there.

No sirvio

Buen producto, muy práctico.

Ajoute un petite note sympathique au Google home, permet de le rendre mobile et de l’utiliser à plusieurs endroit dont dans le jardin. Il donne aussi une note coloré.

持ち歩けるのがとてもよい。 家の中でどこでも使えます♫ と思っていたのに使用し始めて３ヶ月足らずで充電もできなくなりました。販売店は直接メーカーに聞け！と初めは言ってましたが海外なので間に入って欲しいと伝えて対応はあったものの、その後もズルズルと返事がない状況です。 返品を希望するので早く対応をお願い致します
