Mobile Wifi extension lead

Hi, I have the EE mobile wifi box but the lead is too short, Is it possible to get a longer or an extension lead?

Morning @MollyC

Thanks for coming here.

Which lead is too short, is this the charging lead?

Also, which mobile WiFi device do you have?

Leanne.

Morning Leanne

Thank you for your reply - it is the small box to enable wife as we don’t have a landline.

It is the charging lead from the mobile WiFi box to plug into the electric

Regards. Molly

Hi Leanne

I am talking about this EE Box - Buy EE 4G 30GB 4GEE Wi-Fi Mini Mobile Wi-Fi Router | Wireless routers | Argos

The lead for charging is very short, it is not showing in the Accessories link you sent

@MollyC You can purchase a lead from anywhere, it’s just a micro usb lead. Have a look at THIS

If its a USB (type C) use can use another good quality Lead up to 4 meters, but generally its not recommended to go more than 2 Meters

Sorry, one more question please - Is it okay to leave the box on charge 24/7?

Yes it is, but you will reduce the Life of the Battery if its permently On Charge, also keep an eye on the Device does not get too hot (ie, over heats, good Air ventilation) removing the the rear Battery Cover may help with this slightly.

@MollyC If the device gets hot turn unplug it. The device getting hot is the battery get hot because it will degrade faster if left on charge. Battery powered devices really shouldn’t on charge once they are charged up as it reduced the life time of the battery. Think of your device as a mobile phone you would leave that on charge for long periods as it’s not good for the battery.

Thank you, the prob with this box is the charge doesn’t last very long

What you want is a USB-A to Micro USB cable of whatever length you need. You'll find plenty on Amazon et al.
