The iVolt Mini Battery Pack only draws power to charge when you are driving the vehicle, which prevents damage to the vehicle’s battery over time. With the ignition off, the Dash Cam relies solely on the Battery Pack for power, eliminating the need to draw power from the vehicle’s battery completely.\u003cbr\u003eWhy use a Dash Cam Battery Pack instead of a Portable USB Battery Pack?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePortable USB Battery Packs feature different technology than a dedicated Dash Cam Battery Pack. Portable USB Battery Packs typically use Lithium-Ion batteries to provide power to the device. Our Thinkware iVolt Mini utilizes a LiFePo4 (Lithium iron phosphate) battery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe LiFePo4 battery is safer for in-vehicle use as it was designed to withhold extreme temperatures. Lithium-Ion Batteries used in these Portable USB Battery Packs have been known to combust under extreme heat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition, Portable USB Batteries typically have a long charging time (overnight) compared to our Thinkware iVolt Mini which fully recharges in 45 mins while driving.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thinkware","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52761127452938,"sku":"iVolt BAB-95 PRO","price":349.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/4578\/4842\/files\/ivolt-pro-1.jpg?v=1774291990","url":"https:\/\/audiovisualworld.co.uk\/products\/thinkware-ivolt-pro-external-battery-with-plug-play","provider":"Audio Visual World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
