Dash Cam Battery Pack Comparison
Accessories to Get the Most Out of Your Dash Cam
Find the dash cam accessories you need to take your dash cam to the next level. Here at BlackboxMyCar, we offer our customers a variety of different accessories, cables, add-ons and mounts for your current wi-fi dashboard camera to ensure your device works at its best.
From dash cam adhesive tapes and suction cup mounts, to mini usb or micro USB cables, to extra dash cam battery pack, we have the accessory you need.
Dash cam battery packs are trusted life extenders - not only to your dash cam, but to your vehicle’s battery. Beyond hardwiring the dash cam to your fuse box, these devices help maintain continuous recording for your protection, even in the event of power outages or sudden electrical issues.
Since the dashcam is powered by a separate battery pack, it also eliminates strain on your vehicle's main battery, wear and tear, especially for those vehicles with small batteries. This means you won't have to worry about your car's battery being harmed by the dashcam's constant use, even in the years to come.
Want to maximize your 24/7 driving and parking protection? Go for a dash cam battery pack.

Which one do we recommend?
Compared to USB power banks, These dashcam battery packs are meant to withstand extreme temperatures, which is why they are built of LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate), which is much safer and more durable, especially in warmer temperatures.
In terms of power, the more premium dash cam battery pack models like the BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 8 and the BlackVue B130-X Ultra Magic Battery pack have larger capacities of 7,500mAh, compared to the iVolt’s 4,500mAh, a 40% increase in capacity, allowing for longer parking mode.
Beyond that, the PowerCell 8 and the B-130X are also more advanced as they come with Bluetooth, while also being capable of pairing with their dedicated smartphone apps for easier configuration and battery management. They are also equipped with USB ports which can be used in charging other devices in your car.
Still, in terms of long-term upgradability and future-proofing your setup, it’s only the BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 8 that is compatible with a battery pack extender like the Cellink NEO Extended Battery, allowing you to add on additional batteries as your needs change.
