USB to 5V... Can someone confirm this cable for me please?

[bronze84]

So i'm wanting to run my Thinkware F750 from a power bank in parking mode when i'm away from the car.

Before you all ask, I don't want to get a hardwire kit as it's a company car and want to keep it as is.

My F750 doesn't power from mini/micro USB, it powers from a 5V pin type fitting, so I'm pretty sure this cable I've seen here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191576633540 will work.

Could someone with more knowledge than me just confirm that this cable is suitable for my needs?

Thanks in advance

might want to double check but pretty sure the Thinkware is 12v powered rather than 5v

ok thanks, will check the supplied power cable, I just assumed that all those pin type connectors were 5V

hmmm, you're right it is 12v.... So do I have any other options jokiin as i'd still like to use a power bank?

add-a-circuit fuse taps are easy to add, and are easily taken out. (so lease is no problem) Check out the Vico-Power Plus for hard wire.

Hmmm, seems easier than I thought Jon... If I go down the fuse tap root, what second fuse should I use (amp wise)? I'm going to be tapping into a 20amp fuse on my car.

the cameras don't pull much power so it's not so much about what rating is on the fuse but rather making sure it's an appropriate circuit

So I could use say, a 10amp second fuse?

 

[jokiin]

if the circuit is appropriate then yes
