I'm a newbie.
I read many threads in this forum about how having a built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery is bad for dash cams
in hot weather. (even when the car is parked under the sun) Some have said the best solution is a capacitor
instead of a battery.
However, my Jabra Bluetooth speakerphone on my visor has a built-in Li-ion battery and it has survive 100+
degree weather for several summers. Before that, my previous visor-mounted no-frills Bluetooth
speakerphone also got along just fine for 5+ years. I never take my cell phones out of the car because they
are factory cell phones that have their own mounts inside the center armrest. Their batteries also never gave
me any troubles.
So how come a battery is bad when it comes to dash cams? Is it because they usually use unreliable batteries?
