          I have one of these, not sure if its the exact model but i can confirm. Comes with a battery.

          Can also confirm (to my annoyance) that you cannot have it charging and play music at the same time. So don’t bother buying a slim angled micro usb cable like I did…

              That’s what I’m thinking too! The housing is probably too small to house it all but man it would be cool

              It’s not too shabby, never really counted it but I believe it lasts for about 6h at least on a full charge? I usually only drive for around an hour max though so it’s more of a guesstimate

        It’d drain the batteries quickly. Wifi uses a relatively large amount of power, and low-power wifi variants like HaLow aren’t widespread yet. Bluetooth has a low energy mode for low-power devices that works well for this use case. I guess it could have a power cord, but then why use wifi when it could just plug into the phone instead?
