Bit of an odd one this.
I am intending to buy a dashcam for use in my car. I almost certainly won't use it when I'm not driving as I tend to only park in safe areas (yes I know I'm lucky). The point is this: Given the wide angle lens I would also like it to use as a training tool for my squash. I would like to record about an hour's footage that I can then analyse at leisure with/without my coach. Dashcam specific battery packs look VERY expensive and seem to have a far higher capacity than I would ever need. I can pick up a good quality lead-acid battery on ebay for under £12, 7000mAh. is there any reason that I couldn't use this? I am assuming that dashcams are 12v .. but maybe some are 5v? I'm a newbie as you can tell. Any help much appreciated thanks.
