    New battery ordered

    Well, I gambled and lost. The 300mah battery I ordered is too thick. I think I could get it to fit but it would be putting a lot of pressure on it. When I put the battery between my fingers and applied pressure I could hear the battery making noises....like a hissing noise....so pressure seems...

    New battery ordered

    My cam lasts about 20 seconds on a fresh charge. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06Y51B6W4/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hopefully this helps. If it does I will have a battery for sale since it comes with two.

    Rethinking my Mini 0806 power supply setup?

    I have heard that also. However, I can't provide any information on it. When I did those tests the ampmeter was inline between the car's battery and the hardwire kit. So, that is showing the draw the hardwire box is putting on the car battery. It would be interesting to put the ampmeter...

    Can a 2.1 Amp Power Adapter really power an 0806?

    I would guess it is because the hardwire kit is generic in nature? The camera needs 5 volts....the USB voltage standard. If I understand it right the hardwire box isn't going to give the camera the full 3amps because the camera isn't drawing that. I think the 3amp figure is the max output of the...

    Rethinking my Mini 0806 power supply setup?

    Considering how my 0806 with gps draws 0.21 amps when recording with the screen on I think it will be ok :) https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/can-a-2-1-amp-power-adapter-really-power-an-0806.12908/#post-167670

    Not keeping time?

    Yep, it seems like a bad battery. It is going back to Spytech for an exchange. After a 2.5 hour driving with the camera on the battery was flat when I powered it back on. On the bright side Spytech said I didn't have to remove the window mount.

    Not keeping time?

    I wanted to follow up... I leave the car parked for 7 days while I travel. I came back to the car and the battery was so dead that the camera didn't power on automatically when it received power. When it did turn on it dumped the date / time. It resets to 01/01/2014 but retains the time zone...

    It was all set minus the time zone thing....then I came out to the car and it was on 2014...I will take a look though!

    Not keeping time?

    Done. I will see if it holds. So, the GPS sets the time and then it is corrected based off of the exact time zone setting in the camera settings? Any ideas on why it would reset the time back to 2014?

    Not keeping time?

    It seems to lose 4 hours. The miniutes stay accurate. And then today the time totally reset. Any ideas?

    Format card in 0806 and computer can't read?

    I have finished chasing my tail on this. Turns out it was the SD reader on my laptop. The card is fine.

    Format card in 0806 and computer can't read?

    I was reading the Amazon reviews on how to sniff a fake and it seems legit. I will try the Mac format.
