70mai Dash Cam Battery Pack

I see delayed charging as an advertised feature. I can understand allowing the vehicle to settle a bit before drawing a charge. How important do you guys think this is and does any of the egen batteries offer this?

Yes, I think this is important.

No.
 
Thanks. Any ideas if the delayed charging works with both fusebox and ciagrette lighter charging options?

I only have the Hardwire Charge Cable.
The Cigarette Lighter Charge cable is in route.
If you're thinking about buying this battery pack I would wait until it's available on Amazon US.

I agree with Panzer Platform. This is an important feature and, in my view, should be an operational feature regardless of method of charge. I recently discovered that a DIY parking mode battery backfeeds significant current into my car's utility outlet for the first 8-10 seconds after I start the car. The problem is that I don't know what kind of circuity actually feeds the utility outlet, so I have no idea where that current is actually going. A delayed charge feature is essential in my view.

I'm in the process now of rewiring to directly tap the car's main start battery.
 
Yup, not a bad idea to wait to get it from amazon. Not in a rush either. If anything hopefully all this brings competition into this segement for pricing and innovation. Lets see if SEMA 2024 has anything for batteries.

VIOFO keeps teasing us saying they will release a battery pack.
But they also said that about an OBD2 power cable 6 months ago. lol
 
70mai battery pack now for $159,99 Fuse box solution or $151,99 cigarette solution in their online shop, (only US store, not Europe).

I think I see a consumer protection red flag with 70mai’s warranty policy.
Read their warranty policy, and answer these questions.
https://70mai.store/pages/warranty-and-return

1.) 70mai’s 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty only applies to items purchased from 70mai on their official 70mai online store?
True or False?

2.) If you purchase a 70mai product from any retailer other than the official 70mai online store there is no manufacturer warranty?
True of False?

3.) If you purchase a 70mai product from Amazon the only “warranty” you have is Amazon’s 30-Day return policy
True or False?

Good Looking. I found a code THANKYOU10 that brings it down about 10% less. At this price I might just buy it for science if it does not work out.
