One thing that we haven't had with the devices is portability. I bought the battery base for the Echo plus, and have been using it for a short time.
It was easy to install, just line up the power port and the screw into the screw hole on the bottom of the Echo Plus. Once screwed on the Echo will charge the base when plugged in. When you unplug, the battery takes over. You can unplug while playing music and it won't miss a beat.
Thus far it seems to be well made, durable, has a great non-slip rubberized base on it (to avoid it falling off a table or wherever), and does exactly what it's advertised to do. I'm not sure if the battery life that's advertised (5 hrs) is what we'll get yet, but I have the mission battery shell for our Echo 2nd gen, and that one's battery life is as advertised.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy this device again, and would recommend it to anyone looking to make their Echo Plus 2nd gen a more portable platform.
The only real downside that I can find for the unit are that you can't turn off the bright blue LEDs on the front, which can be annoying.
5 stars, without a doubt. The Echo Plus is a great product that is only limited by its non-portability. With the Mission Battery Base, that is no longer a problem. This base is well built, has a sleek design and is easy to use. This rubber base fits perfectly around the echo and a simple nob screws it in securely from the bottom. Now we can move it around without having to plug it in. Intuitive set up, keep the echo upright without tipping and the battery life is great. I highly recommend this base for any echo product.
This is a fantastic product! It charges through the Echo, so you just unplug the Echo like normal and music, etc. just continues. Seamless. It fits snugly to the Echo so it seems like it's part of it. I also like that I can keep it up off the kitchen counter a bit . . . if there were a spill of water, etc., this keeps the fabric raised off the counter a bit . . an added bonus. The stand is also rubbery and so it's not rattling with loud music on a hard surface. Super happy with it!
We use this for our echo plus to take out to the pool area. It seems to have a good battery life and charges reasonably quickly. I am not sure what other people had problems with as our unit worked perfectly with no connection issues at all. I plugged it in, put in the echo plus and let the base charge up. We use it as a mobile speaker 3-4 times a week and in the house statioary daily with no problems.
I love how it screws on so it won't fall off. Seams to be working great.

Easy to assemble and looks like it's supposed to be part of the original design (I have the black echo). I only wish there were a way to turn off the blue LED battery indicators when it's plugged in.
We like the way it fits and works. We, of course, now hope that the battery lifetime is
quite long.

Awesome! Love having the freedom to take our music in the yard or throughout the house!
