Car charging or hot-wiring of Nighthawk MR1100
Hi All.
Anyone knows what car charger I can use for the Nigthawk hotspot MR1100 or the set up to hard-wire it to the car so that is always on.
TIA.

Get one that supports QuickCharge 2.0 or 3.0 (QC 2.0 is sufficient, but 3.0 is downward compatible and therefore works, too) as the MR1100 takes 9V if available. It should be able to deliver 15 Watts or more (10 Watts might do, but some headroom is never a bad idea).

Thanks for the replies.
Since the hotspot is going to be mostly in my truck. Providing WiFi access to a couple of dashcams 24 hours a day. I’m looking into this.

Hopefully someone here is familiar with it or the possible technical involvement running this set up.
I have asked blackvue. But since they make it specifically to power their dash cams. They won’t say either way to power something else.
The lower on this things can be adjusted and the main part. Is that it will shut off the current to the hotspot if the trucks battery is getting to low.
All opinions welcome.
Thanks again.
