Hi guys,
I've been running this setup for a couple months now. When I first installed the camera + discharge unit, I noticed that the camera would shut off after a couple hours of parking mode use. I have the discharge unit set to 11.8v and infinite time. At first I had thought that the battery was not holding a charge, as one day I tried to start the car and it would just click (this was a very cold day in winter). I replaced the battery in the car and noticed the camera stay in parking mode longer than before. I thought all was good, but this was only because it was a new battery with a fresh charge. After about 3-4 days the same problem started occuring again.
I brought the car to a electrical shop today and they said the camera is drawing 300mAh, and should usually only be 80mAh. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be the issue / what to do? I periodically will let my car sit for 9+ hours and notice that the discharge unit has cut off the camera. It starts back up when the car is started.
