Perfectly good video, shows it working nicely, and a neat install, and it was good to see the figures from the charger.Sorry for the quality, I am not good at this
I just noticed the ecoflow has a charge limit from 0c while bluetti has -20c so it seems the ecoflow won't work for me in the cold Canadian winters.
Can you verify the bluetti charges at sub zero temps?
Might have to deal with the on/off with Bluetooth for the bluetti when its discharged.
All expensive Dedicated Batteries have the exactly same sub-zero charge protection/limitationHmm maybe I'll have to keep the battery in some kind of cooler to keep it from freezing or take it inside to warm up and charge in the cold winter days.
So it seems those $400 blackvue dashcam batteries must have the same issue, I'd be pissed if I paid that much and then have to keep it warm or take it inside.
Actually it may work!My cigarette socket is rated for 180 W
Even though the power stations can only accept 65 W, I am looking at charging 3 at the same time.
I can find 150 W extensions, but with exception of a couple of a few rebadged 135 W, dual PD plugs, I cannot find anything fused higher than 10 A or heavier than 12 AWG, and I can’t confirm its copper conductors. I’m thinking I’d have to run custom power to the trunk.Actually it may work!
You need three way cigar socket splitter rated at 180W, then you can charge all tree Power Stations at 60W each,
Then the first PS will feed the second PS (DC out/DC in) and the second PS will feed the third PC, which in turn will power DVR
I will test it with two Power Stations
Btw, Necespo is licenced and improved version of Energizer PPS320 sold in UK (for a lot of money)
https://www.argos.co.uk/product/1133244
Energizer and early Necespow version (orange band) use 16*3.2V*6000mAh cells for total of 307Wh, new version (green band) using 16*3.2V*6300mAh cells for total of 322Wh (although, I can't find original source anymore)
The necespow can be dual charged with usb-c and a 12v car adapter, look at the second picture https://www.amazon.com/gp/B08ZDG6C15My cigarette socket is rated for 180 W

What are the specs of that power input? I see 12V/24V but I’m not certain of how much current that jack is rated for. That dual input would seem work as long as I can get power to my trunk, which is a me problem.The necespow can be dual charged with usb-c and a 12v car adapter, look at the second picture https://www.amazon.com/gp/B08ZDG6C15
I did the math on the 256Wh ecoflow and my minimum 30min of driving 5 days a week i do and it just doesn't have the capacity for 24/7 monitoring with a 7w dashcam load.
The main issue here seems to be the 100w charging speed, 2.5hours of charging @ 100w just isn't enough. Either i drive 12hours a week to replenish the ecoflow or turn off the camera when i'm home. Even if i get a giant 5000Wh battery the 100w charging speed isn't enough. Maybe if i find an inverter that can be attached to a switched fuse @ 20-30a or one that is attached to the car battery but only turns on with a 12v signal, and recharge the ecoflow at full ac power will solve the issue, but that's getting a bit ridiculous for 24/7 monitoring in my case.
I'm going to guess another 65w since they have 16v/4a on their site http://www.necespow-tech.com/product/7.htmlWhat are the specs of that power input?
