Reading through posts,
You have me concerned about the risks of the high temperatures and dangers of opperating a battery dashcam in them as the battery is only rated to 45 degrees centigrade ( As a kid i remeber blowing a glass thermometer by leaving it on the rear parcel shelf of the car while traveling europe and doing a temperature journal )
Posts about the capacitor solution seem to suggest time and date are routinely lost which doesnt appeal as a solution...
Searching for a solution i came across a lithium thyonyl chloride battery that comes in half AA size at around $7 which is 3.7v and has a working temperature of up to 85 degrees centigrade.(1000mah)
Has there been any real world problems with damage from a dashcam battery failing or do they just stop working safely ?
Basically is it worth upgrading the battery for peace of mind ?
