![]() ![]() It's not voltage that determines whether you can start the car, it's the starter's ability to deliver amperage. The article it self is super old so the list of low voltage cut off features are likely out of date, but the voltage/temperature information and how it works would be the same.Īnyways, there is a low voltage cut off feature in the BlackVue dash cam, or in the hardwire kit Power magic pro - I suggest you make use of it. Read this article, it explains battery discharge and how temperature effects batteries, and settings ect. They are a great resource to pick their brains about.īattery Discharge Prevention - Dashcamtalk They also have video explanations of Wifi/cellphone apps/settings for specific dash cams. I am not familiar with BlackVue products specifically, since I do not own one at this time.ī would likely be able to answer your questions in depth. This is the weakness of the BlackVue parking mode system, busy areas will not give the dash cam the required "Quiet time" and it will not go into parking mode necessarily. BlackVue parking mode requires a "Quiet time" of 1-2 minutes of inactivity in the G sensor/Motion sensor, or it will record normally. Parking mode - BlackVue Parking mode = Dashcam is on, but only writes to the Micro SD card if G sensor/motion sensor is activated. That means that it's possible to drain your car battery below its minimum charge to start your car by the time the sensor trips, so that's a no go for me.ĭoes anyone know what the deal is with this? Is there some sort of "smart power management" feature I'm missing out on? BlackVue's solution monitors voltage, but it's totally possible to suck enough juice out that you may be at 11.8-12V but still won't be able to start your car because your current is too low. I did some research, and the voltage apparently isn't as important as the amperage when starting your car. BlackVue's battery is only 6,000 mAh.ĭoes anyone know what the deal is with this? Is there some sort of "smart power management" feature I'm missing out on? I checked to see if it was excessively recording video clips from motion detection, but I only see one or two 3-min clips every couple hours through the night.Īlso, if you're wondering, I'm very wary of hardwiring to my car battery. However, in parking mode, this battery becomes completely drained after 6-8 hours, and I don't understand why. I bought a USB to 12V cig lighter port adapter with the right specs to match the camera's power specs. I already had an Anker 20,000 mAh battery bank on hand. I then realized that I could probably use my own battery bank somehow. I thought about the Power Magic Ultra Battery, but it's just expensive. When I bought it, I eventually planned to somehow keep it powered on by itself for parking mode. ![]() If the dashcam model is unknown, a tag of “” or similar is acceptable.
