Jetpack AC791L - turns OFF connected to battery ?
So I've got a vacant house that has a Google Nest security camera. The Nest gets Wifi from a Verizon Netgear Jetpack AC791L. I've got the Jetpack connected to a little mobile battery pack that lasts for about 5-6 days before running out of juice. The problem I'm having is once the Jetpack gets a full charge it turns off and gives a "your Jetpack battery is full, please disconnect from the power source."
This is VERY unhelpful, and I'm trying to figure out a way to KEEP the Jetpack running for a few days so I don't have to get back up there and recharge the device every other day.
Does anyone know how to keep the Jetpack running even after the battery is full, while connected to battery ? Or does anyone have another hack that might solve this pickle ?

Does it run fine with no battery?
Might just skip the built in battery if so and upgrade the external source even more. (or add a solar panel/controler to it)
