Smart Speaker Battery Bases

Ninety7's SKY TOTE Makes the Amazon Echo 2 Portable

— July 12, 2018 — Tech
With voice assistants in more and more households across the country, the time has come to unplug these devices and take them to any part of the home—no cords required. To bring portability to the second-generation Amazon Echo, Ninety7 introduced SKY TOTE, an innovative and powerful portable battery pack that allows users flexibility with their device.

SKY TOTE's handle lets the user enjoy the Echo 2 with ease. Featuring a powerful, lithium-ion rechargeable battery, the base allows up to eight hours of unplugged use and four LED lights on the front, so it’s easy to gauge the remaining battery life. Installation is simple and cable-free—just remove Amazon Echo 2’s original factory sleeve and the rubber nub at base to expose Echo 2’s power pins (Ninety7 includes a tool for easy removal), then simply insert the Echo 2 into SKY TOTE’s battery sleeve and effortlessly connect for cord-free mobility.
