      Hi. Yes I’m aware of that, but there isn’t a 240v supply in the motorhome, works off solar and 12v batteries. I’ve plugged it into usb without battery. See what happens. Thanks

      Seems to be ok plugged into usb power supply once battery removed. I had a different mifi unit in previously, that worked with battery in when left permanently plugged into usb. Thanks for your suggestion, I would not have thought about removing the battery as seems unusual!
