Leaving MR2100 connected to power

Would it harm the battery if I left my MR2100 permanently connected to mains power?  Cheers, Bill

    That's a mobile modem router.

     

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

    Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems

    Those things are very different from the standard Netgear routers covered in this section.

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

    In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

    You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

    Hi 2DogsMonty ,

     

    It wont harm the battery if it is on permanent charge.  However, we do recommend using it without the battery if you intend to have it on permanent charge.

     

    Regards,
