I realise many people are using third party battery's to power there cameras, but for those not:
  • Are you running 1 channel or 2?
  • What model of car?
  • What year is the car?
  • How long does recording appear to last before the battery cuts out?
Thanks in advance!
 
2015 Mercedes E-class Diesel

For 2 years i've been running ONE DUAL cam (first a BV and then the F750)
with voltage cut off at 11.3v - On this basis I think I got abt 3 days of parkmode

It worked fine until a few weeks back when I installed a SECOND dual camera (F770)
(for a front, rear, left, right view)

during the install of the cameras I drained the battery and could not start my car.

After a jumpstart all was fine again, but I put cut off at 12.2v. Unfortunately
the old battery was damaged too much, so parkmode lasted only 30 mns...

I now got a new battery installed and with the 2 dual cams (F750+F770)
I get about 48hrs of parkmode in my underground parking. (cut off at 12.2)

That's very nice, but will probably go down as the battery gets older.

I'm thinking of getting 1 or 2 cellinks, but the price puts me off,
and at best it gives me 24hrs parkmode (basis 1 cellink per camera)

I might get just 1 cellink and put it on the rear (and 1 side) camera.

This way at least the front camera will stay on much longer whilst
running off the car battery, which in return will not be taxed heavily by
2 cameras.
 
Those figures sound very promising. I have a 2016 Audi S3 so would hope for similar levels or parking mode.

Your setup sounds like you are well and truly covered from all angles! I like the sound of it.
