TL;DR: Make your Amazon Echo 2 wireless with the SkyTote Battery Sleeve for $23.99, a 59% savings.
As smart as your digital home assistant is, it’s not exactly mobile. Alexa generally lives inside your smart speaker, which needs to remain tethered to an outlet. That also means you have to bring yourself to it whenever you want to issue a command, ask a question, or choose some music. Seems a bit counterproductive, yeah?
What if you want to bring your digital assistant with you on a camping trip? Or out by the pool? Or anywhere else where you don’t have access to an outlet? That’s where the SkyTote Battery Sleeve comes in to save the day and keep your Amazon Echo 2 working no matter where you are.
SkyTote is a portable battery sleeve that provides cordless freedom, allowing you to enjoy Alexa’s abilities on the go, totally unplugged. Of course, you’ll still need WiFi, but that’s what mobile hotspots are for. This portable, rechargeable 8,800mAh battery lasts up to eight hours on a single charge and seamlessly pairs and integrated between your devices.
There are four LED lights on the front, so you can see how much juice is left at any given time, plus a carrying handle for maximum portability. It’s aesthetic is oddly similar to a travel mug, but you should definitely not pour any liquids onto it. Oh, and don’t worry, the sleeve won’t change the speaker’s acoustic characteristics in any appreciable way. The material is acoustically transparent and anti-stain.
Bring your digital assistant to you for once — no matter where you are. Not to mention you can bring the tunes to the backyard or another room without buying a second speaker. With the SkyTote portable battery pack, smart home mobility has never been easier. It’s usually $59, but you can snag one for just $23.99 while it’s on sale for a limited time — a total of 59% off. Note that this is a certified accessory specially designed to work with Amazon Echo 2 (second generation) only.
