AT&T Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router MR1100
Is it bad for the device to leave it usb connected and charging the battery? After my battery became fully charged the display on the router said to disconnect the charging cord.
Thanks very much. Am I looking at it 18 W or 24w?
I use this one. But I think the max wattage PER PORT according to the QC3 spec is only like 18W. I use the USBA to USBC cable supplied with the hotspot but I know others have replaced with a high quality cable as well. It's been reported the hotspot firmware will say "Quickcharge" when plugged in to such a power supply. But I'm not sure which firmware versions display this.

- Thanks! I ordered the same one.
The PDFManual says..."The mobile router, by default, is configured to optimize battery life. If your mobile router is plugged in for an extended period of time, the mobile router automatically reduces charging levels to help protect battery life."

Hi pkdstuff,
We recommend you not to leave the device plugged in when the battery is full. This can overheat or damage the battery.
Please let us know if you have any other questions. :]

Is it true I can plug it in and run it without a battery in it?
Hi pkdstuff,
Yes, There are some users on here are powering their M1 device with a quick charge power supply without the battery. You can do a search on it. We do not recommend it because it is not our product.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. :]
