Rates current as of April 12, What to look forward to. The competition. Verizon rates the MiFi L's battery for up to five hours of use. We didn't have to reach for the charger even after several days of intermittent use. After fully charging the hotspot in the morning, we used the MiFi for about four hours and the battery was still half full.

Fortunately, the MiFi L has excellent battery life. I took it out for a weekend trip using it regularly with three devices, and it lasted the entire time without being charged.
As a juice pack, the device was able to charge an iPhone 6 from empty to full and still had some 50 percent left. I also love that I can use it as a juice pack and a mobile hotspot at the same time. What's more, it will stop charging a connected device when its power level reaches 25 percent.

Whether or not this is a device for you depends on whether you live within Verizon's 4G LTE coverage, and then if you can afford its data plans. If you do, and can, then the Jetpack MiFi L is easily one of the best mobile hotspot on the market.
