Just wondered who has had their Mobius the longest on here and if it's still going strong?
My original circuit board originates from early April 2013 and is still going strong. Initially we only received the board because the case wasn't ready. I believe Tom's original is lying on the bottom of a river after he made some tests a few months ago."Oldest" Mobius has Tom Frank from RCGroups and @Isoprop, ask them They got theirs way b4 release.
I got mine A-lens 2 weeks after release and it still going strong. Very happy with both ( A and B lens models )
What is the typical life of a dash cam? Is there a record for a particular model?
One thing about the Mobius battery that bothers me... It's a LiPo Battery and LiPo batteries should be stored at 40%-->60% charge. However, in a dash cam set-up, it's going to be stored with almost 100% charge; which is the worst possible storage condition. A LiPo stored at near 100% charge deteriorates over time. While I've been lucky with my Mobius so far, the more I dig into LiPo battery information, the more I realize it's time to switch to a capacitor.
I don't think in normal use your battery is at 100% Mine sees normal duty in my car and if I remove it to charge, it's definitely not fully charged and takes a while to charge.One thing about the Mobius battery that bothers me...
