Changing Passwords
If you are planning on changing the battery password, you will need to enter the default password '1234' when prompted for the old password.
Note: There is no password retrieval or reset function. Password reset is a function that can only be performed by technicians at the manufacturer. The Reset function within the Battery Manager App is for resetting the default battery settings (ie. the Dual Charger setting) only and will not reset the password back to the default "1234".
Because of this, we strongly recommend that you don't change the password unless you absolutely needed to, and if you do change it, make sure to keep a record of the new password. Once you have changed the password, you will be asked to re-enter it every time you access the Settings menu within the Battery Manager App.
Power Duration Capabilities
A fully charged BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 8 battery pack can run a 1-Channel dash cam for up to 48 hours, while a 2-Channel system can be run for about 35 hours with its integrated 96Wh. This measurement is based on continous runtime.
How Does it Work?
.
When the vehicle's ignition is switched ON, the PowerCell 8 battery pack charges while simultaneously supplying power to the dashcam.
When the vehicle's ignition is switched OFF, PowerCell 8 battery pack supplies power to the dashcam independently until power depletes.
1. Simple installation using 12V Power Cable
Just plug the battery into the cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle using the included 12V Power Cable. (6A charging)
2. Hardwire installation using Hardwiring Cable
For the fastest charging speed, connect the battery to the fuse panel. (9A charging)
