    Ninety7 Battery Base for Google Home Audio/Video Product Carbon/Black (Loft Carbon)


    From the manufacturer

    Your Smart Assistant Just Got Smarter

    Google Home has great voice controlled features and quality audio, but falls short when it comes to portability, as it must remain plugged-in to work. LOFT is a portable battery base that solves this problem by making Google Home cordless, thus portable, so you can move your device from room to room with ease.

    * Google Home Not Included/Sold Separately.

    Set your Google Home free

    Simply slide your Google Home into the top of the LOFT, replacing your current Google Home base and your good to go. LOFT's built-in battery gives you cordless freedom and lets you enjoy Google Home from anywhere, anytime.

    * Google Home Not Included/Sold Separately.

    Unleash The Power Of Google Home With Loft

    Upgrade Your Google Home

    Not just another piece of tech on your countertop, LOFT’s sleek compact design seamlessly blends into your home environment.

    Grab and Go

    LOFT comes with its own low-profile charging base that simply slides onto Google Home, allowing you to easily power-up and instantly untether as needed for up to 8 hours.

    Built-in LEDs

    If your battery is running low, the LED indicator lights on the front of LOFT will let you know when it's time to recharge.

    Same Google Home. Better everything else

    With LOFT, you get the same great Google Home experience without the cords, and a smart, beautiful design.

    * Google Home Not Included/Sold Separately.

    There are some great reviews here about how to get these working. Here is my summary, and the solution that worked for me.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!

    1.0 out of 5 stars 3rd one DOA
    Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2023
    I got one of these 3 years ago and it still works great. Seriously great. Awesome little gadget. Figured I would get another for my 2nd google home.

    1st one DOA. Alright I’ll return it and order another in the black color. 2nd one DOA. Well that’s just gotta be bad luck right? Let’s just exchange for another one. 3rd (and prolly last one) DOA.

    Disappointed for sure.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dead on arrival but...
    Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024
    Dead on arrival but I was able to splice a USB cord like the others though instead of removing the batteries I was able to charge them via the terminals on the inside that are connected to the batteries while they are inside of the unit. After that it was a matter of plugging it in and it is charging right now. Will update if the battery Life is absolutely garbage. UPDATE 40 minute podcast and it's still kicking strong. UPDATE 2 it's been about a month and it still has not gotten from level 4 to level 3 on the battery indicator. I haven't been trying to be easy on it either. I've played a lot of music on it. If your technical absolutely would recommend! If not still I would recommend because it's not that hard of a fix and it's worth nine bucks!
