Hello all,
I'm still in the research stage of building a system to go in my Altima. I think I'll be going with the Thinkware U1000 2 channel with Radar module with the BlackBoxMyCar (IT'S CELL) BI-750 battery pack. That being said I would like to run the GL.iNet GL-X750 router off the battery at the same time, it takes a DC 12V 1.5A input.
Now I know the USB ports on the battery will output 5V @ 3A. Using a USB type A step up converter cable doesn't appear to be straight forward as they step up in voltage tends to eat up an amp or so and will only output in the 0.8A to 1A range. Threre's only *one* I found that supports 3A via QuickCharge Type A USB @ 5V and steps it up to 12V @ 1.5A via an interchangeable barrel connector, which would work in theory. I don't know if I'd trust some $2 no name adapter unattended in the car. And since QC is some kind of embedded firmware standard that I'm unsure if the BI-750 supports. BUT the wiring would be a lot easier.
The other thought is using a combination of the 3 wire parking mode cable as well as the cigarette lighter style 12V output from the battery together. Now if I understand correctly using the ACC1 and ACC2 mode the battery will only charge while the car is on. Is it possible to use an ACC and constant from the interior fusebox to do this and depend on voltage protection to get a little more juice to the BI-750 during extended parking and not kill the main car battery? Now on the output side the 12V lighter adapter plug looks like it has a blank for ACC and only a hot and ground. Would splicing the hot and ground to the Thinkware wire and using something like a T-Tap to get the ACC signal from BI-750 input side and splice it to the ACC on the Thinkware cable on the output side to enable parking mode? This way I could use a 12V splitter and power my router as well as the camera and still have parking mode.
I'd like to avoid using something like an AGM battery as I don't really have any room for it due to the huge subwoofer box and all the junk that goes with it already in my trunk.

Any help is appreciated thanks!
