This is actually a multi-part question. I have a Subaru Ascent and so far the vehicle has had a whole range of issues related to the battery draining. There are complaints about the battery draining all over the internet, a dedicated Facebook group and forum on this battery draining issue. I haven't had any issues with the SG9663DC so far. It's actually been a great product and I wish I got this instead of a Blackvue for my other vehicle.
The dealership finally returned the vehicle and the battery seems to be holding up fine for the past 8 weeks, although I have turned my cut-off voltage threshold on the dedicated hardwire/parking kit to 12.4V. This obviously does not allow more than 1 minute of parking mode recording before the threshold is reached and the camera turns off.
This is my current set-up:
Firmware version v1.39
Parking recording frame rate at 5fps.
Shutdown Timer - 12 hours
Cut-off voltage - 12.4V
First question:
Any Subaru owners though with the SG9663DC and hardwire kit running issues with the battery draining? Or having issues starting the car again with the cut-off at 12.2V? I don't want to deep cycle the battery since my commute is relatively short so I don't know if I am fully charging the battery again after recording all night.
Second question:
Are there any other settings that people would recommend?
Third question:
Has the Samsung Evo cards been tested on the SG9663DC? I've been using a Transcend 633x 128gb and have not had issues with recording.
Fourth question:
Is the dashcam compatible with any battery packs?
Thanks in advance.
