Time is of the essence for the premium driver. The BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 8 features rapid charging capabilities that get you back to full power quickly. When hardwired to your fuse box, the unit reaches a full charge in just 50 minutes of driving.
If you prefer a simpler setup, you can connect it via the cigarette lighter socket (12V), achieving a full charge in roughly 80 minutes. This efficiency means that even short daily commutes are enough to top up the battery, ensuring your dash cam is always ready for parking mode duty as soon as you turn off the engine.
The PowerCell 8 works with the Cellink Neo Extended Battery Pack is an external battery pack that can power your dash cam effectively, giving you the option to expand for more power whenever you need, easily adding the pro 12 battery pack with a single connection.
And if you're looking to charge your PowerCell 8 at home to have it ready for the road, consider purchasing a Power Inverter for charging your dash camera battery pack on the go, ensuring you have power without draining your car’s battery.
