1) These are old stock, and the batteries are completely drained...to the point that they are not recognized when you plug in this unit to charge.
2) Once you get them charging, they work great, and are definitely worth the $15 I paid in Aug. 2022.
3) The trick is to get _some_ power into _one_ of the batteries in the 4 battery array.
4) People either do this by buying a battery that is somewhat charged, or by charging a battery.
5) Once you have a battery with some juice in the mix, the rest will charge up and you're in business.
You'll be surprised that there really are just 4 Blackberry NX1 batteries in here. Remove 4 screws under the rubber foot, and you'll see them. They pop right out, no problem. Most reviews mention ordering an NX1 battery from ebay, which I did. (I'm still waiting for it.) I got impatient, so I wondered about getting a bit of charge into a battery, and going from there. A quick youtube search of "charging a battery without a charger" brought a simple solution. See pics.
1) Cut and old USB charging cable (I used a mini-usb), and find the + (probably red) and - (probably black), and ignore the other colors.
2) Strip the wires, and tape them to the battery in the right locations. These batteries are marked + and -, so just tape red to +, and black to -.
3) Plug in, and monitor. These will generate some heat, so I didn't want to leave them plugged for long. 10 minutes is all I waited, and it must have been enough of a jumpstart.
4) Put the slightly-charged battery back in your speaker unit and plug it in. You should see the charging lights on the front start to do their biz. I then unplugged the unit, added the other 3 dead batteries back in, and blam...they all charged up. Screw the top back on, slide your speaker in, and "Ok Google, play Paul McCartney" to your hearts content while you're working in the yard.
I tested the batts with a multimeter before and after to verify, and they were indeed getting power and charging up. After a few hours of charging, all 4 lights were filled, and I used (unplugged) it for a few hours with all 4 lights still strong.
I may add a little loop of fabric to the plug for an easier pull so I don't eventually cause a short in the plug by wedging my sausage fingers in there to unplug it.
Now I want a few more of these speakers so I can make more portables!

It wasn't until I left seller feedback and initiated a refund this time that I looked at these reviews and it's awful how many have had this problem for the last 3 years and Amazon continues to let this or these sellers push these faulty units on Amazon customers. Amazon should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to continue for so long.
The install was incredibly easy. Just twist off the old base and gently slide this one on. The existing power cable simply plugs into it. From there the google home gets its power from the battery. I havent noticed any issues like a degrading battery so im pretty sure that once its fully charged it simply passes through the power to the google home. This also makes for a pretty decent battery backup. Ive found that these devices will remember the alarms they are set for, even if they loose internet. Or at least ive been lucky in that regard. I wouldnt buy this exactly for that purpose.
Instead the reason i bought it was to easily take into the bathroom or out on the patio. In both scenarios while there is an outlet, using it or having to move the power cable with it was just a chore making cheap bluetooth speakers the better options. Not anymore. Now i can just unplug the home and bring it in the bathroom with me or out onto the patio or porch.
One decent feature is the ability to power it off. My most common place to use it is in the bathroom since i have Minis in other rooms for more basic stuff. But listening to music in the shower with it is quite nice. (Its not water proof, please dont take it into the shower. But ive had no issues with steam.) But once im done using it, i just need to hold down the power button and it simply powers off. This greatly extends the battery life and makes it so i can just leave it in the bathroom without charging for a week or more. And not having to worry about plugging it in when the bathroom outlets are already plenty limited is a huge plus to me.
IMO, this is a must for any google home. It just makes the device far more versatile and useful. You wont regret getting this.
**update one day later**
Haters are right, battery doesn't hold charge for more than a day, much less really, like maybe a few hours.

Thank you to the past reviewers who wrote how to get these working! I tried to charge a battery myself but couldn't get it to work, so I ordered one off eBay, put it in, and boom, it started charging. It works great! I haven't tested the full battery life, but after 30 min, still has all four lights lit up. I ordered two more, I'm stoked!!

Removing and replacing the power cord could be improved.
