Restore dependable portable internet runtime with this new original OEM NETGEAR W-10 / W-10A battery. This high-capacity removable rechargeable battery is designed for the NETGEAR Nighthawk M1 MR1100 LTE mobile hotspot router.

The W-10A battery is rated at 3.85 volts, 5040mAh and 19.78Wh. It replaces an aging MR1100 battery that drains quickly, shuts down unexpectedly or no longer provides dependable portable use away from a wall outlet or USB power source.

The Nighthawk M1 is capable of supporting numerous connected phones, computers, tablets and other Wi-Fi devices. Heavy data use, weak cellular coverage and multiple simultaneous connections can place greater demand on the battery. As the original battery ages, it may appear charged but lose power rapidly during streaming, downloads or other high-bandwidth activity.

Replacing a worn W-10 or W-10A battery can help restore dependable portable runtime and reduce battery-related restarts or shutdowns. It can also allow you to continue using the MR1100 as a truly portable hotspot instead of keeping it continuously connected to a charger.

When you purchase from Battery Store USA, you receive an original OEM battery rather than a generic aftermarket substitute. Your purchase includes our No Hassle One Year Warranty and fast, free 2-day shipping within the United States.

Signs You May Need a New NETGEAR Nighthawk M1 Battery

Rechargeable hotspot batteries gradually lose usable capacity through age, heat and repeated charging. Your NETGEAR W-10 or W-10A battery may need replacement if you notice one or more of these symptoms:

• The Nighthawk M1 operates for much less time than it did when new.
• The MR1100 shuts down soon after being disconnected from USB power.
• The router restarts when several Wi-Fi devices connect at once.
• Battery power drops rapidly during streaming, gaming or large downloads.
• The displayed battery percentage changes suddenly or unpredictably.
• The router only works reliably while connected to a charger.
• The Nighthawk shuts down even though the screen shows power remaining.
• The battery becomes unusually warm during normal operation.
• The rear battery cover begins lifting or no longer closes properly.
• The battery appears fully charged but loses power within a short time.
• The MR1100 disconnects users or reboots during heavy data transfers.
• Charging takes much longer than it did previously.
• The router frequently switches off when the cellular signal is weak.

Stop using the battery immediately if it is swollen, leaking, punctured or excessively hot. Do not press down on a swollen battery or force the Nighthawk M1 rear cover closed over it.

Q: Which mobile router uses the W-10 or W-10A battery?

Q: Are W-10 and W-10A the same battery?
A: W-10 and W-10A are commonly used as identifiers for compatible NETGEAR Nighthawk M1 MR1100 batteries. Battery labels may use W-10, W-10A, W10 or W10A. Compare the specifications, contacts and physical shape with your original battery.

Q: What are the specifications of the W-10A battery?
A: The rechargeable lithium-ion battery is rated at 3.85V, 5040mAh and approximately 19.78Wh.

Q: Is the NETGEAR Nighthawk M1 battery removable?
A: Yes. The Nighthawk M1 MR1100 uses a removable battery installed beneath the rear battery cover. Turn off the router and disconnect all power cables before removing or installing the battery.

Q: Does this battery fit the NETGEAR MR1100-100NAS?
A: The W-10 / W-10A battery is associated with the NETGEAR Nighthawk M1 MR1100 family, including common MR1100 variants. Confirm the battery model printed inside your specific router before ordering.

Q: Does this battery fit the NETGEAR Nighthawk M5 or M6?
A: No compatibility should be assumed. The Nighthawk M5 and M6 product families can use different battery models. This page is specifically for the W-10 / W-10A battery used by the Nighthawk M1 MR1100.

Q: How long should a NETGEAR Nighthawk M1 battery last?
A: Actual runtime depends on cellular signal strength, the number of connected devices, Wi-Fi settings, Ethernet or USB use, data activity, display use, temperature and battery condition. Heavy data activity and weak cellular coverage can reduce runtime.

Q: Can an old W-10A battery make the MR1100 restart?
A: Yes. A worn battery may be unable to provide stable power when the router is transferring data or supporting many connected devices. This can cause unexpected restarts or shutdowns.

Q: Will replacing the battery improve cellular or Wi-Fi signal?
A: A replacement battery does not directly increase cellular coverage, download speed or Wi-Fi signal strength. However, a healthy battery can prevent power-related restarts and shutdowns that interrupt the internet connection.

Q: Can the Nighthawk M1 operate without its battery?
A: The MR1100 can receive power from its rechargeable battery, a wall adapter or a connected USB power source. Operation without a battery may depend on the power supply, firmware and device configuration. For normal portable operation, install the correct battery.

Q: Can I use the MR1100 while the battery is charging?
A: The router can normally operate while connected to a compatible power source. Charging may take longer while the router is actively transferring data or supporting several connected devices.

Q: Should I leave the Nighthawk M1 plugged in continuously?
A: Continuous charging and excess heat can accelerate lithium-ion battery aging. Keep the router in a ventilated location and avoid covering it during charging or heavy data use.

Q: Why does my MR1100 battery drain faster in weak signal areas?
A: The mobile router may use more power while trying to maintain a connection with a distant or weak cell tower. This can shorten runtime even when the battery is functioning normally.

Q: Should I fully charge the new W-10A battery before using it?
A: Install the battery and allow it to charge fully using a compatible charger before relying on it for extended portable use. The battery gauge may become more accurate after several normal charge-and-use cycles.

Q: What should I do if my old Nighthawk M1 battery is swollen?
A: Turn off the router, disconnect the charger and stop using the battery immediately. Do not puncture, bend or press on a swollen lithium-ion battery. Take it to an authorized battery-recycling or household hazardous-waste facility.

Q: Does this battery include a warranty?
A: Yes. Your purchase is protected by our No Hassle One Year Warranty.

Q: Do you provide free shipping in the United States?
A: Yes. We provide fast, free 2-day shipping in the United States, and orders include tracking information. PO Box orders and certain shipments to Hawaii or Alaska may be sent by the United States Postal Service.
