MiFi 4510 on AC for a Week - Remove Battery?

k6lcs

My wife will be gone for a week - and I am sending my MiFi 4510 with her, plugged nto AC with a modified charge-only cord. It all works marvelously. But for this extended use, should I remove the battery while it is connected to AC for a week?

The Lithium Ion battery in the MiFi works like any other Lithium Ion battery.  There are multiple resources for how to maintain and extend the life of your batteries on the internet. 

For example:

I don't think you will see an advantage by leaving the battery out of the MiFi in terms of battery life/performance.  But if you wanted to do so then it wouldnt hurt anything either.
