Mission Battery Base for HomePod Mini (Black) (Make HomePod Portable)

Excellent product...better than expected: Quality/sturdy construction with an integrated design that fits the HomePod Mini perfectly. It is awesome to have a portable unit to take to the garage, patio, and home office to enjoy a seamless music experience (with Siri access) throughout our entire home (we now have five HomePod Mini units). Highly recommended!

– First of all, I am blown away with how simple this product works.– As another video reviewer said, you can seamlessly take this with you and it'll silently convert into an Airplay speaker without dropping the audio from you phone.– Weight is balanced so the speaker would stay upright sitting in a moving vehicle.– Battery life was decently surprising. Nearly an entire day of music playback from different times of day, and in different environments.– Purchased black out tape to cover the LED indicators as they were just annoying.– Leave it plugged in while using helps keep the battery topped up.Thoughts – I wish I could buy one of these for every homepod mini I have, and maybe will over time.Great product, would recommend to anyone.Bonus, you can simply attach another battery pack to the base for even longer listening pleasure. Simple USB-C.

This battery base is an absolute game-changer! The battery life is excellent—I can easily get 8–9 hours of playtime, which is perfect for outdoor use. I love setting my HomePod Mini on the patio table while relaxing or hosting friends, and it’s so freeing not to be tied to a power outlet.The cable storage is another thoughtful feature. It keeps everything neat and concealed, so my desk stays tidy when I’m using it indoors. Plus, the sleek design blends seamlessly with the HomePod Mini, and it doesn’t affect the sound quality at all. Setup was super simple—just plug in and go.If you want to make your HomePod Mini portable and enjoy it anywhere, this is definitely worth the investment. Highly recommend!

This works as expected. My only complaint is that the lights which show remaining power aren’t very bright and are difficult to see. That’s a bit disappointing as it could result in difficulty determining battery status and thus it could run out of power unexpectedly.

Update Feb 21/22… my initial review (immediately below) remains unchanged! The Mission Base pair works perfectly, adding portability to my HomePod Minis. Recommended!***************Received the Mission Battery Base (2 x Black) a few days ago and thus far I’m very pleased with the way they’ve preformed.Some observations:1.) nicely and professionally packaged2.) right out of the box they had a solid, hefty feel to them… no flimsy, cheap plastic quality.3.) instructions were simple to follow and included on the outside of the box as well as on the instructions inside.4a.) the bottom of the Mission Battery Base is magnetic and attaches solidly without any latches or snaps.4b.) the power supply cord that is permanently attached to the HomePod mini is the perfect length to be wrapped around inside the Mission base and just long to fit into the slot on the mission base… i.e. no excess cord flopping around.4c.) AND the surface of the flat bottom base is also made out of a non-abrasive material… making it very unlikely to scratch or mark a wooden table or cabinet top!5.) Power Supply… there is a USB-C cord (60 inches) that comes with the Mission Battery Base unit that you plug one end into your wall outlet (USB-C) and the other end into the slot on the Mission Battery Base.6a.) the unit has a power on/off button that when turned on, light a series of 4 soft blue glo lights to show charge level.6b.) these 4 blue lights are very dim (to me at least) but if they seemed too bright for bedtime, the front face of the Mission Battery Base can be turned away from direct line-of-sight because the HomePods broadcast in 360° direction.7.) the HomePod minis fit snuggly into the Mission Base and would not come out even when turned upside down and shaken.8.) and maybe most important to me, the Mission Battery Base gave me the portability for my HomePod Minis that I was looking for. Now I can move them from room to room or to my outside patio and have my music/podcasts (in stereo) wherever I want.In conclusion… a wonderful asset for the HomePod minis and an almost ‘must-have’ if you love your HomePod Minis and want more versatility in your listening options.I’m surprised Apple didn’t think of something like this when they developed the HomePod Minis… seems like a ‘no brainer’ to me.5 Stars… more if I could.

I am very impressed with the Battery Base. It works quite well, excellent battery life, very good build quality.One feature that I was worried about when buying this product, was the little LED indicators. I was worried that they would be so bright and then disturb me at night. I needn't have worried. They're visible enough, without being too bright at night.I highly recommend this product!
