It's not broken...read some reviews to revive these gems! - 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! Review: Dead out of the box, twice! - I plugged it into the same outlet and used the same cord that my Google Home Speaker used (and worked with), but nothing happened. No lights on the base or the Google Home Speaker. To test, I plugged my speaker back into its own cord and the speaker, cord, and outlet all work perfectly. Thinking this was a fluke, I returned the first one and got another one. The exact same issue. I am not getting a replacement for this and I am just shipping it back. If I can get 2 duds in a row, then I don't even want a working one at this point. This is a shame because this product is amazing to look at and is such an amazing idea, but this company needs a better quality product or at least a better QA system in place. ## Features - Up to 8 hours of portability - Slide on magnetic connect for easy assembly - Beautiful metal grill finish ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 3.5 out of 5 stars 1,207 Reviews | ## Images ![Battery Base for Google Home Audio/Video Product Copper/Bronze (Loft Copper) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OqDxOhmNL.jpg) ![Battery Base for Google Home Audio/Video Product Copper/Bronze (Loft Copper) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710Yx-7de5L.jpg) ![Battery Base for Google Home Audio/Video Product Copper/Bronze (Loft Copper) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71df9o25amL.jpg) ![Battery Base for Google Home Audio/Video Product Copper/Bronze (Loft Copper) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81floq5zuiL.jpg) ![Battery Base for Google Home Audio/Video Product Copper/Bronze (Loft Copper) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ZCeXVCC7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: After I attached the base, the unit did not receive power. Has anyone else had this problem?** A: I've gone through 3 of these now, none will power on. I took the last one apart. They use 4 Blackberry NX1 batteries, and in the unit I examined they were all at 0.05V - well under the low voltage threshold. I'm guessing that since Google isn't making more of these Google Home devices, we're down to old stock on these bases and the batteries are arriving so dead that the control electronics won't charge them. **Q: Can I always leave this plugged in ???** A: Yes - the Loft was designed to have the Google Home power supply plugged in all the time. Unplug when you want portability. **Q: Can you turn this off so it doesn’t kill the battery if you don’t need it on?** A: There is a power button for the battery base. Since the power supply runs thru the battery base to the Google. If you turn the base off then Google will be off. **Q: Can I use it in Europe (220 volts)?** A: This is 110 volts you may damage it with the higher power ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HOLD!

I've had several JBL Link speakers in the past, all of which have unfortunately failed. Replacing the internal batteries in those JBL speakers proved to be nearly impossible, even with online guides, and also doesn't fix the well known "clicking" problem those speakers seem to develop over time. While this battery base seems to require a bit of initial effort to get started, the fix is quite straightforward, and well worth it, and the first generation Google Home speakers are solid performers, and can be found at reasonable prices on the used market. As many other reviews have noted, these appear to be new-old-stock units with completely discharged internal batteries, rendering them non-functional due to a flawed charging design. However, you only need to apply a small charge to one of the internal batteries to revive the device. This does require opening the unit: first, carefully remove the rubber base (applying gentle heat from a hairdryer or space heater can soften the adhesive). Then, unscrew the four Phillips head screws holding the case together. Inside, you'll find four Blackberry NX1 batteries. Note their orientation during removal, as the top battery has a rubber bumper, and the top two are installed in the opposite direction of the bottom two. To jumpstart the speaker, remove at least one battery and briefly apply a small voltage to its positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Many suggest using a USB charging cable for this. I personally used an old cell phone battery and paper clips to connect the positive and negative contacts of the old battery to the corresponding contacts on the removed speaker battery. Once this is done, reinstall all the batteries, plug in your charging cable, and the unit should power on. Despite this initial step, the current clearance price makes this battery base an exceptional value. You simply couldn't buy the individual components to build this yourself for anywhere near the same cost. In fact, I'm so pleased with it that I've ordered a second one as a backup, anticipating the eventual failure of the batteries in this one. Having an extra unit provides me with four additional replacement batteries down the line. I'll also keep watching this in my Amazon cart, and may even order a third. Once this device was charged, I was able to use my google home unplugged for over 6 hours, with battery life left to spare. I am once again free to listen to music on my patio, even though there are no outlets available there. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/52778282-battery-base-for-google-home-audio-video-product-copper-bronze](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/52778282-battery-base-for-google-home-audio-video-product-copper-bronze) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
