BlackboxMyCar Power Inverter

The BlackboxMyCar Power Inverter supplies household power to a dash cam or compatible dash cam battery pack through its cigarette-lighter adapter. This is the 8A model, useful for charging a battery pack at home when short drives leave it partly charged.

Household Power

14.6V / 8A

9-Foot Length

Cigarette Socket

Charge a battery pack away from the vehicle

Connect the power supply to a suitable three-prong household outlet, then plug your dash cam or battery pack's cigarette-lighter adapter into its output socket. The supply converts AC household power to DC; the camera or battery still needs its own matching vehicle power cable.

The 8A model supports the PowerCell 8 battery pack and BlackVue B-130A. It can also supply equipment with a lower current requirement when the voltage, connector and charging method are compatible. Confirm the exact model before using it with another battery.

For a PowerCell 8, a replacement cigarette charging cable connects to this supply if you need a spare. The battery pack and its input cable are separate from the inverter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this convert household power for a dash cam?

Yes. It converts AC power from a household outlet into DC power at a cigarette-lighter socket. Connect the dash cam using its own compatible vehicle power adapter.

Which inverter model is supplied?

This listing supplies the 8A model, SKU PInverter-8A, with a 14.6V DC output.

Which battery packs can I use with it?

The 8A model supports the PowerCell 8 battery pack and BlackVue B-130A. Use the matching cigarette-lighter input cable and the battery's LOW or cigarette charging setting.

Should I use the fast hardwire charging setting?

No. Use the battery's LOW or cigarette-lighter charging mode with this power supply. The high-current hardwire setting is for the appropriate vehicle installation.

Does the inverter include a battery charging cable?

It includes the power supply with its cigarette-lighter output socket. The battery-specific input cable is separate; you may already have it with your battery pack.

Will it supply 8A to every connected device?

8A is the supply's output rating. The connected equipment draws the current it needs, provided its voltage, connector and charging requirements are compatible.

How long is the cable, and what warranty is included?

The listed cable length is 9ft, approximately 2.74m. The inverter has a 90-day warranty.

Great set up to use the AC option

I think it’s a great idea to be able to charge it without having to be using the cars battery. So basically I have three options.

Thanks for the review, Robert! We’re glad the wall-charging option gives you more flexibility to keep your battery pack topped up without needing to take the car out.

Beware of Tariffs

This is a good product, but be careful of tariffs in the U S A. If this product is sent to you from Canada it will cost you 4 times the price of the item in tariffs. FedEx will bill you over $200.

As Expected

Works as expected. Batteries will not charge fully with the vehicle charging, so need to pull them out and charge them from an outlet.

Power Inverter

Power Inverter meets all my expectations. Charging battery from home is far more convenient than from my car's battery, which periodically is drained by the powercell battery.

Quick Charge Time

Contacted team member ‘Grayson’ a number of time and he helped resolve issues I raised quickly. Also had contact with ‘Terence' who was also helpful. In regards
to the Power Inverter
I had 20% battery left on the Blackvue Battery B-124X and connected the Power Inverter. When I checked 40 minutes later the Blackvue Battery was fully charged I was expecting it would take hours to recharge so I am very happy with the purchase to this product Only 3 months warranty is a worry Postage to Australia via Fedex was quick ,11 days. and tracking was available

I had a dash cam kit like this in another vehicle of mine and also had the same power inverter but sold it. I just bought a new dash cam kit now a few years later but I needed a power inverter like I had before and you were the only place that had exactly what I needed.
Thanks for your help.

Easy to use

I bought this along with Cellink Neo battery pack. I use it to charge the Cellink before I install it to the vehicle. It’s also good use if you want to charge the battery while off the vehicle.

Hi N.D., thanks for leaving a review! Glad to know the power inverter worked for you.

Easy use

Plug and use. Really easy and works as described. Has a red light while charging and turns green when the unit , Celllink Neo main battery, is fully charged at my home power outlet.

Hi!
Does the BlacboxMyCar Power inverter 12V8A have a European AC plug?

BlackboxMyCar Canada

Unfortunately, this product only ships with a North American AC plug. However, it does support up to 240V AC input and uses a standard desktop PC power cable, so you can easily use it in Europe with a locally-sourced cable.

Is your 6a or 8a inverter suitable to charge the 70mai battery pack?

BlackboxMyCar Canada

We no longer offer the 6a inverter, but the 8a inverter should be able to charge any battery pack.
