I've had my G1W-H for a couple months, but the battery is no longer holding it's charge and often dies too early when the ignition is turned off. - causing the file to corrupt.
Rather than just replacing the battery in the cam: I don't like the idea of the battery being heated so much in direct sunlight, so I'm planning to run an extra cable from it to an external 18650 battery that I'll install well out of the sun under the foot-well in the car.
I'm just wondering if the charging circuitry will still work for keeping the charge topped up for a 2600mA 18650 battery? Or if I'll have to periodically have to keep removing the battery to charge it? - the latter would be a pain, because the device loses the time and date when the battery is disconnected!
