MP3450i R2: Users looking for the MAXIMUM amount of battery life for a mobile broadband router will want to check out the MP3450i, which can provide up to 12 hours of run-time to the MBR1000/MBR1200/MBR900 and up to 16 hours of run-time to the CTR500/CTR350/PHS300! The MP3450i also offers the option of adding an expansion battery (the MP3450-10; sold separately) that DOUBLES the battery life you'll see from the MP3450i alone. It is also the ONLY battery pack available for the MBR series of Cradlepoint routers.

Tekkeon recently updated the MP3450i to add another feature that makes it even more valuable: a USB port! The addition of the USB port means that you can charge/power just about any USB-powered device - the iPad, phones/PDAs, the MiFi, the Overdrive, etc. You can even power a USB-powered device at the same time that you're using the battery pack's main power supply to power a router (although you'll drain the battery faster powering multiple devices simultaneously). While other stores are still selling the original MP3450i, all MP3450i's shipped by 3Gstore are the R2 version that includes the USB port!

The MP3450i is $189.95 at 3Gstore.

MP2250: The MP2250 is the "little brother" of the larger and more powerful MP3450i and provides up to 6 hours of run-time to the Cradlepoint Travel Routers (CTR500/CTR350/PHS300; not compatible with MBR1000/MBR1200/MBR900). This is a great and affordable option for folks who like the option of a backup battery but don't need the full power of the MP3450i.

The MP2250 is $89.95 at 3Gstore.

MP1800CP: This is the most compact and most affordable way to provide backup battery power to your Cradlepoint CTR500, CTR350, or PHS300 (it is not compatible with the MBR routers). The MP1800CP weighs just 4.5 ounces and will only set you back $60.95 for the battery and all necessary cables/adapters. It can provide 3-4 hours of power to your Cradlepoint Travel Router.

***IMPORTANT***: The MP1800CP sold by 3Gstore is NOT the same as the original MP1800! The original MP1800 that other resellers have been selling are not capable of powering the Cradlepoint routers. The MP1800CP that 3Gstore sells is guaranteed to provide the necessary 2 amps of output current necessary to function with the Cradlepoint Travel Routers and the appropriate cable and adapter are INCLUDED. If you purchase a Tekkeon MP1800 elsewhwere, it is NOT likely to be the correct version for your Cradlepoint router!

The MP1800CP is $60.95 at 3Gstore.
