    I have an Echo Dot that I use as an alarm clock to play music in the morning. Most of the time, the Dot lives there as part of my daily routine. I like to sit out on my deck when the weather is nice. I enjoy the “radio” stations that Amazon creates on the fly when I ask Music to play a song. Unfortunately, I don’t have any power outlets on the deck. In the past, when I wanted to listen to music, I’ve used my phone, but the sound isn’t great. I picked up a battery for the Dot and its come in very handy! Now, I can bring the Dot outside with me and get full voice control functionality. I can easily play baseball games, using my MLB subscription, call up whatever music I’m in the mood for, and otherwise use the Dot just as I do at my bedside. The battery lasts as long as I’ve needed it to. I’ve used it for more than 3 hours playing music. I expect it could have lasted longer, but I was done outside and I brought it in. When I brought it upstairs 5 hours later, the battery light still showed it had power left, even though it was listening that whole time. The only issue I have with it is how the lights are passed through. The Dot has a ring at the bottom which glows different colors, depending on the feedback from Amazon. For example, it glows blue to show the keyword has been activated. The battery has slits in the side to allow the lights to shine through. Unfortunately, they don’t work as well as they’re designed to. If I’m laying in bed, I can see the lights from the side, but if I’m standing up, they’re invisible. Prior to using the battery base, I could see them as they reflected off the night stand. Because of how the battery is shaped, the light is blocked to the surface as well. While not an issue, I also would have liked to have the option to charge the battery with a USB-C cable. That would open the flexibility to bring the Dot with me when I travel and allow me to use the multi plug charger that I take with me. Overall, it’s a good solution to an edge case usage for the Dot. It does what it claims to without too much fuss.
