... it would be easy for a business that does custom wiring to splice the original 90 degree power wire to the battery pack power wire.... Shops that install car stereo or alarms can do this....... for you.
I would place the splice so the large block on the camera cable stays included in the cable. It helps protect the camera from power surges. The manufacturer felt the camera needed it.
Could using some DualLock Tape be a temporary solution to keep it from bouncing around?
A real 50,000mah for under 20 buckaroos?@dbusguy ,
What's your experience been since using this?
I just found one that has 50000mah for under 20 bux (I bought two) and locally with free shipping to boot.
These are great items if they are consistently providing the rated power...

Are you interested in buying a bridge? We have a nice one here in a Brooklyn.
@Dashmellow , that is the EXACT model, different vendor. I purchased two for less than 40 bux with free 3 day ship.
yeah these suckers may not be 50000 but if they can last at least 18 hours then its money well spent.
I appreciate you sharing with the class @Dashmellow !
ahh... looking at the amazon listing, yes, it's supposedly 50,000 mah, but at only 3.7v. so bring that up to 5vdc and it won't provide 50k mah; it will certainly be lower (i don't know the math to get an exact number but i'd guess closer to 30-35k mah). stupid marketing.
Has anyone tried charging a smart phone or other item with a known size battery? Reviews claim it's about 5000mah after trying to charge some smart phones.You're right. When you plug in a device on this unit without hitting the power button it draws 3.7-3.85V. If you then press the power button with a load on the battery it will jump to 5.10-5.14V. I guess they figure that 50,000 is an impressive number, so we get Extra Jumbo Family Sized mAhs! I too gave up trying to figure out the actual mAh numbers for this battery bank but after using it for several months now I'd say that for around twenty bucks delivered it would be hard to go wrong buying one of these things. If you care for it properly (proper charging, discharging techniques) it should last several years in regular use. It easily matches the performance of other units selling at two or three times times the price. For example, the Anker Astro E5 15000mAh pack is a well regarded product but it is twice the price and I almost bought that one but went for this one instead and don't regret the purchase. FWIW, it is also (claimed to be) a lithium-polymer celled bank whereas most of the others on the market seem use 18650 cells. (I tried to open the unit to inspect the cells but there's no way to do that without ruining the device, so I won't know what's inside 'til it dies.)
I have run it 2 day (9 hrs each) and indicator says still has half battery. Serves my purpose and I'm happy
