To meet the increasing power demands of parking mode for dash cameras, BlackVue upgraded its B-124X entry in the battery pack segment with the more powerful, more efficient Blackvue Power Magic Ultra Battery B-130X.
The Blackvue B-130X supports two installation modes: Simple Installation and Hardwired Installation. You will find everything you need for either installation method inside the box.
The BlackVue B-130X Power Magic Ultra Battery comes with the following cables and accessories required for its installation:
Cigarette lighter plug power cable (male)
Output cable for dashcam (Female cigarette lighter socket)
Hardwiring power cable
Dashcam hardwiring power cable
Fuse tap kit (3 types)
2 velcro strips
User Manual
This is called the Simple Installation as all you need to do is plug the battery into the 12V auxiliary power outlet (cigarette lighter socket) of your vehicle.
For the fastest charging speed, you can connect the Blackvue B-130X directly to your vehicle's fuse panel.
Ensure the Power switch on the Blackvue B-130X is in the OFF position before you proceed.
Take the hardwiring power cable - plug the2-prong adapter of the cable into the DC IN port on the B-130X.
The Blackvue B-130X Battery Pack hardwiring kit is a 2-wire cable: one for ACC (constant) and ground. You need to look for an empty fuse slot or one you can piggyback off using the add-a-fuse kit included in the BlackboxMyCar Essential Install Kit.
Use the circuit testing in the Essential Install Kit to help you find a suitable continuous power fuse that is less than 10A. Always refer to the Fuses section in the vehicle's owner's manual to avoid fuse slots that could pertain to certain safety features within your car.
Using a crimping tool, connect the wire labeled ACC to the fuse tap. Insert the fuse you removed from the fuse panel into the slot closest to the blades on the fuse tap, then insert a new fuse into the slot furthest away from the fuse tap blades.
Once done, insert the fuse tap into the empty switched fuse slot in the fuse panel. You can connect the ground wire to a ground point, such as a bolt, that is directly on a bare metal part of the vehicle's frame.
Set the power switch to the ON position and you're done!
Next, you will want to find a location to mount the Blackvue B-130X Battery Pack. Typical placement options include under a seat or in the glove box. Included with the battery pack are 2 velcro strips that you can use to help secure the B-130X battery in place.
You will need to use the Output cable to connect your dash cam to the Blackvue B-130X. The BlackVue B-130X battery pack comes with 2 output cables: a female socket cable and a unspliced hardwiring kit.
You can use either the BlackVue Battery App or the BlackVue App to manage your Blackvue B-130X.
In Oct 2022, BlackVue integrated the BlackVue Battery App functions into the BlackVue App - you can now manage your BlackVue dash cam, BlackVue Cloud, and B-124, B-124X, and B-130X battery packs using the same BlackVue app.
To connect to the battery pack to the BlackVue App,
Follow prompts on the app to complete the pairing process.
While charging, the app will display the expected time to full charge. When the ignition is off, the app will also display the expected remaining usage time based on the current power draw of your dash cam.
