Replacement Battery for Nighthawk M1 (MR1100)
Where can a Nighthawk M1 (MR1100) be purchased? I believe the mobile hotspot device takes a W-10 battery? Thanks in advance Model: MR1100|Nighthawk LTE Mobile Hotspot Router
The only way I found to fully charge the battery is to power down, remove the AT&T SIMM card, plug back in the USB cord with device off and then when the battery is full charged, verify power off, unplug, remove fully charged battery. Then if I need to use the MR1100 away from home, I can take it with me and have a fully charged battery for mobile use. I have it hooked up to a ANKER Power Port +6 with 1-QC 3.0 outlet since the MR1100 accepts and can utilize Quick Charge. When not charging a battery, the battery is removed and the MR1100 is powered by the ANKER PP+6 with Anker Quick Charge USB-C cable.I have been told that neither Netgear or AT&T will sell replacement batteries to end users as their policies. I found a Wireless Construction Supplier that had many "on the shelf" and I was processing an order when asked if I was an end-user and I was told they couldn't sell it to me. AT&T has helped a lot to help me find a solution that works for me. I can also power the MR1100 in the field with a USB Power Bank after the battery runs down.
MikefI1,
The only reason I was originally looking for a replacement battery was because I like to have spares of things. I usually have two or more batteries for my cameras. I guess this is a habit I should break since unused batteries have lousy shelf life. I appreciate all of your (and others) good advice. I may purchase a device that will allow me to run the device without a battery. I don't understand AT&T's and Netgear's policies on this (not selling replacement batteries).
I find a replacement battery here, I hope it can help you.
Thank you!
Unfortunately I don't recognize the language the witbat dot com webpage is in, and it returned no results to my English search terms. I have been using the Hotspot with no battery, powered by an Anker USB Power Supply and a cooling fan running on it. I am using it tethered to a Router with WiFi disabled. When I need to use it away from the router I have the originally battery fully charged for two or three hours.
