Given the price they sell for you'd expect it should be a decent product
Yes, the reply certainly seemed like it was from someone who didn't really know the answer and so I'm surprised that it indeed has the feature.
I wasn't aware that this was a hundred dollar 7800mAh power bank. Certainly at that price, such a feature is quite plausible but one could buy perhaps four decent quality 20,000 mAh + power banks for that price.....or another dash cam! A single 20,000 mAh bank will run two cameras for an entire day or more!
Personally, I don't get this obsession with pass-through-charging based on my four years of manual charging once every day or every few days. Even with pass-through-charging I would NEVER leave a power bank in a motor vehicle permanently, especially in hot or below zero temperatures or with the constant shock and vibrations. Li-ion power banks can take some abuse but were never intended for full time automotive installation, pass-through-charging or not!
As I speak it is -5º below zero Fahrenheit outside (-20.5º C) and headed lower! My power banks are safely inside at room temperature and one is happily charging away.
