Why a dashcam battery is recommended:
- You risk your car not starting - If you don't have a dashcam battery, we recommend NOT using parking mode for more than 6 - 8 hours at a time. When your car is turned off, the dashcam will consume power from your car's battery. If the parking mode is left running too long, your car battery will get too low, putting you at risk of your car not starting if it gets below 12V. You always have to remember to turn your parking mode off when you no longer need it anymore.
- Battery Degradation - A battery's lifespan is measured in cycles. Everytime your battery goes from a full charge to a low charge, you are using up a cycle. A normal car battery should last about 5 years. If you are frequently using parking mode, you are going to wear out your car battery much quicker, on average within 2 years. Installing a separate dashcam battery ensures no impact is made to your car's battery.
- Peace of mind - Your dashcam will keep running as long as your dashcam battery has power, which with the Thinkware battery is about 16 hours after your car has been parked. Once the dashcam battery runs out of power, it will simply turn off the dashcam, making no impact to your car's battery. The dashcam battery will recharge when you start driving your car, taking about 45 minutes for a full charge.
