Hi, first of all, I want to let you guys know that I have a very minimal knowledge about batteries, voltage, car electric wiring and so on.
Few years ago I purchased Blackvue DR-400HD II hooked to a external battery from TpowerC, it's still going great until now.
Few months ago I purchased a new car and thinking to get a dual channel camera with external battery again. However I didn't remembered that the battery cost so damn expensive, but still, I'm against the idea of hooking up my dashcam straight to my car battery. I thought that using an external battery would be safer, maybe I'm wrong? So my question that I need help is:
1. For dual channel dashcam, do I need 2 external batteries? 1 for each camera? Or does both camera somehow connected to just one power source?
2. I read some threads in this forums regarding the use of powerbanks but they are full with electricity jargon like voltage different, and so on. I only understand about capacity which is in milliampere. But looking from all the comments with my little understanding, it seems that it's possible to use powerbanks. But which one that I can use? Any specific requirements?
3. What is the differences between external battery pack like Tpower or Cellink B with powerbanks? Looking at the price difference surely there must be a big difference in both batteries? I know that both are using 18650s battery, probably manufactured by Samsung or LG.
4. Any suggestion for best picture dual channel dash cam that can stand heat? I live in a southeast asia where there are only 2 seasons: summer and rainy season where all days are still hot.
Any helps to these questions is greatly appreciated. Thanks
