Nice video. Have considered battery packs for my dashcam before but heat was always a concern as the car internal temperatures can easily cross 45C in the tropics. Just a couple of observations.. (a) . The fuse tap installation...The internal fuse box might have some empty slots that can be used instead of tapping into a used slot. You just have to check to see which one is ignition controlled. In my car I had 5 empty slots. 3 ignition controlled, 2 live. So I just used one of those. (b) The installation of the battery below the seat.. the orientation...i might be a bit concerned about passengers feet hooking the wires, so i would have turned it so the wires were towards the front/drivers side. Though that would be much harder to show for an installation video.

About the empty fuse slots, isn't that means that you will need to add another fuse besides the battery's fuse? Cause I'm sure you got to have 2 fuses on the tap.

@@bigkaki000 .. in the fuse tap, the bottom slot is for the fuse that was originally in the slot you are tapping. If there was no fuse then you can leave that bottom slot empty. All you are doing is tapping into the powered side of the fuse slot.

If you paid someone to install it, then have the installer help you troubleshoot the issue. Even if they are not experts on the dashcam, they are fully capable of testing if the battery is outputting the proper voltage. Very basic troubleshooting any beginner installers should know how to do.

a recording problem started appearing a few days after installing the BlackVue DR900X-2CH Plus camera, as it started not recording continuously during the parking mode, even though I chose continuous recording ! I thought it was because I was using a 32GB SD card, so I bought a 256GB SD card, but the problem persisted. then I discovered that the recording interruption was caused by the dash cam draining the car battery even though the car battery is new as I installed it less than two weeks ago ! that is why I advise everyone to buy one of the Blackvue Power Magic batteries to protect the car battery and get the most out of the dash cam.

Great Video, Any idea if it wold be possible to use the power magic pro with it so that the battery could charge from an always live fuse and keep the camera in park mode for longer, the power magic pro would then stop supplying power to the B124x battery once the main car battery reaches a set level say 12V? Would there be any reason it wouldnt work? This could be a great set up for long weekends away at hotels! I park my car in a garage at home most of the time and have it hooked up to a CTEK MX5 battery charger/maintainer so this would keep the camera and batteries fully charged if on a live circuit, then is there was a voltage cutoff inline the main car battery could also be used in conjunction with the Power Magic battery for longer park protection. Peoples thoughts are appreciated

It will not work. The output of the power magic pro output does not provide enough current for charging the dashcam battery. Secondly, the purpose of using a dedicated dashcam battery is so you don't any wear on your car battery. If you run any accessories off the car battery while parked, it WILL shorten the life of the car battery.

@@dial2fast I get that the car battery will suffer but that would be the reason for having a power limiting device in place, the main battery then tops up the aux battery to run the camera for parking mode and once the main car battery reaches a limit the PMP style device then shuts off the power to save the car battery and then the camera can still run on using the dashcam battery until its depleted. It would be no different to just wiring the dash cam into the PMP to run directly off the main car battery all that would happen is that there would be the dedicated dashcam battery in between them. Thanks for the answer its it the power magic pro device that is the limiting factor then as t doesnt allow if enough current through. Thanks again

My cam is not a blackvue does anybody know if this can run a dashcam off the usb port?
@paulb8916

Yes its just a USB port, so think of it like a giant USB power bank, If you connected your cam to it and the cam has a function for park mode or sentry mode or whatever they want to call it then it would have power for as long as the power magic battery can supply it. Not sure if it would run the camera straight away if the battery was flat as I think the battery routes power to the camera during charging but perhaps not as quickly to the USB port. I used a cheap next base camera on a solar USB powerbank as a test and it worked well and I think the Next base model has sentry mode that is minimal power draw until the sensor is triggered! There is also the other option of using a Blink camera and syn mode as they are powered from USB or just AA batteries in them, the only think needed to be powered is the sync module was thinking of trying this as a make shift 360 Cam system for the sides for a laugh!
