if your mifi able to use without battery insert, then it might help to reduce a lot of heat,.. but i guess most huawei mifi can't do that for sure
E589's battery is embedded, can't remove

at home i use E3276.

Yup, most huawei mifi can't remove battery. The newer ones at least.
I am actually using e589 now and i use it 24/7 (at home and away as i am occasionally on the move) and there is no ill effects till date. I've been using it 24/7 since March 2013 fyi. It's never off lol. It can still last me a day. Didn't notice any degradation of the battery life. Maybe it's hard to notice with a 10 hours battery.
I've been using mifi's for a couple of years now (e585 > e5756 > e589) and it's always been abused daily by me.
I know that alot of sifus don't advice doing this but from my personal experience, there are no bad effects till date. I reckon that batteries have evolved alot since and we're also actually using batteries non stop daily already (on smartphones, tables etc) and it can lasts years before wearing out. Even old ipad batteries are going strong.
Last time i remember using a battery on laptop and it dies out within a year or so, and it last only 2 hours for new battries. Not anymore with newer generation batteries. Not to mention that new MBA batteries can last about 12 hours now lol. The evolution of batteries are amazing.
I was using E589 most of the time, though its quite hassle there is no way to turn it off remotely(android mobile wifi app can do that but i have yet to try it), yeah im lazy lol
second is, the E589 USB port does not support data transfer, it's just for charging only

third, after i upgraded to Windows 8, both of my wifi adapter will randomly disconnected, there are still no fix for this problem, unless use another pc to share the internet by using ICS, or using back windows 7
