Could I use a Goal Zero Nomad 20 solar Panel to trickle charge a Blackvue Power Magic Ultra Battery?

My goal is to trickle charge the B-124 during the day to extend its battery life.

The Nomad 20 comes with a 12v adapter:

If I connected the b-124 to this, would it work or even make a dent in charging during a sunny day if its placed in the windshield?

so you want to charge it while it's being discharged?

Yup, no different than if you were using your phone while it was on a charger. Im just wondering if it would be even worth it for the b-124

except your phone has a function to manage that process

So when the car is charging the battery when its on, is it just passing some power to the dash cam to power it? because in the blackvue battery manager it shows that its both discharging and charging when the car is charging it

they separate the power to the camera from the charging process while the car is running

Ah damn, so if I tried either the battery will charge and the dash wont work or vice versa?
