Battery Pack Replacement Cables

Which connection do you need to replace? Choose a cable to charge your battery pack, power your dash cam, or connect an expansion battery. Each option is sold separately.

Charge the Battery

Power the Dash Cam

Connect an Expansion

Charge your battery pack

These cables carry power from your vehicle to the battery pack. Choose the charging method you use:

  • 12V Cigarette Charging Cable: plugs into a vehicle power socket. Length: 1.5m (5ft). Maximum charging current: 5A.
  • ACC Hardwiring Kit: connects the battery to the vehicle's switched power supply and ground. Length: 3m (10ft). Maximum charging current: 7A.

Connect your battery to your dash cam

Choose one of these camera output options:

  • With a spliced hardwire kit: the battery cable and camera hardwire kit are already joined. Select the option for your exact Thinkware, BlackVue or VIOFO model.
  • Unspliced: bare wires for joining to your camera's compatible hardwire kit. Cable length: 1.8m (6ft).
  • With socket: a short adapter for your dash cam's own cigarette-lighter power plug. Adapter length: 9cm (3.5in).

Match both your battery pack and dash cam before ordering. The Specifications section lists the camera connections for each spliced option. The photo shows the VIOFO HK4 assembly; other options have different camera plugs.

Connect an expansion battery

Choose the Cellink NEO Extended Connecting Cable to join a compatible main battery to a Cellink NEO Extended expansion pack.

PowerCell 8 supports this expansion pack. PowerCell 5 does not support an expansion battery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cable should I select?

To charge the battery from your vehicle, choose the 12V Cigarette Charging Cable or ACC Hardwiring Kit. To power the dash cam from the battery, choose a Power Output Cable. To connect a Cellink NEO Extended expansion pack, choose the Cellink NEO Extended Connecting Cable.

Which battery packs accept the camera output cables?

The listed output connection is used by PowerCell 8, Cellink NEO, BlackVue B-124/B-124X/B-130X/B-130A and VIOFO BP100. A supported Thinkware iVOLT BAB-50 setup can also use a matching spliced output. This describes the battery end only; choose the other end for your exact dash cam. The pre-spliced options do not fit PowerCell 5.

What does spliced mean?

A spliced option comes with the battery output lead already joined to the named camera hardwire kit. With an unspliced option, you must join the bare leads to a compatible hardwire kit yourself. Match the labelled constant/BATT, ACC and ground functions; wire colours can differ between kits. Do not bypass the camera's voltage converter.

Which VIOFO spliced option do I need?

HK3 fits the listed mini-USB A119 V3 and A129 models. HK4 is the option for the listed A229, A119 Mini 2 and original A329 models. HK5 is for VS1; HK6 is for A329S and A119M Pro. Check the full model name: original A329 and A329S use different listed options.

Does the BlackVue spliced option have a USB-C plug?

No. BBMC-PC8-BV-SPLICED has a round BlackVue camera plug. Choose it only if that plug matches your camera.

Is the Thinkware output cable the factory-made 7m hardwire cable?

No. The 4.5m Thinkware spliced output cable is assembled by BlackboxMyCar for use with a battery pack. It excludes F790 and F550. Thinkware's separate 7m vehicle hardwire cable connects to the vehicle instead.

Will the charging cables fit my Thinkware iVOLT BAB-50?

The cigarette charging cable does not fit the BAB-50. The ACC hardwire charging cable also does not fit a BAB-50 with a raised lip around its input port. Check that port against the cable specified for your battery revision. These restrictions concern charging cables; the camera output connection is a separate choice.

Can I use the 6A or 9A charging setting on my battery?

Not with these cables: PC8-UpdtCLA is rated for 5A charging, and ACC-CABLE for up to 7A. Use a setting within the selected cable's rating and the vehicle circuit's limit. If the battery has no suitable setting, use a cable rated for its charging current.

Will the socket output support parking mode?

It depends on your dash cam. The socket output supplies power through the camera's own adapter, but it does not provide a separate ignition (ACC) signal. BlackVue ELITE normally uses ignition-triggered switching; its EV Accessory Power setting can support some existing socket installations. Check the linked ELITE guide in Resources. A suitable spliced connection is preferred for a new ELITE installation.

Do I need both a charging cable and a camera output cable?

Yes, a complete battery setup needs both connections. Replace only the cable you need; each option on this page is sold separately. Charging the battery alone does not connect it to the camera. These cables do not provide an OBD-II socket.

What should I check after connecting the cables?

With the vehicle running, check that the battery charges and the dash cam records. Switch the vehicle off and check that charging stops and the camera enters its selected parking mode. If it does not, check the output cable, ACC signal and camera settings.

Does the expansion cable add recording time by itself?

No. It connects a separately purchased expansion battery. Runtime and charging time depend on the connected batteries and camera power use. Use it only with a main battery that supports the Cellink NEO Extended pack.

What else should I check before ordering?

Fuse taps are not part of the listed cable package; choose the vehicle-specific parts required by the battery installation instructions.

Power Output Cable with Socket Replacement for my PowerCell 8 Battery Packcted over time

The wires from the original Power Output Cable with Socket that came with my PowerCell 8 Battery Pack had disconnected over time, and a replacement was ordered to restore my Dash Cam's operation. I am very happy once again to have the Dash Cam keeping a watchful eye on my vehicle and the roadways.

Thanks for your review, Lamont! We’re glad the replacement cable got your PowerCell 8 back up and running and that your dash cam is once again keeping an eye on your vehicle.

Already conveniently spliced to work with various dash cams (it’s order specific).
Unfortunately, voltage cutoff switch seems faulty. Just slides across all 4 settings without any clicking sensation. Reached out to customer support and was told it’s really unnecessary since I’m using a battery pack. I get it but still wished it clicked as it should.

Replacement cable

I had to pull my original batteries out of my other vehicle and left the wiring in. I ordered a hardwire kit for the batteries, but the actual cable was left out I needed that also. I called Black Park my car and they acknowledged the mistake and had the cable that I needed Shipped literally overnight. Fast great service is the earmark of a good company and product. This has both.

Great customer service and shipping

I contacted Blackbox My Car and gave them the model numbers and they were able to help me with the exact part numbers needed for me to reinstall my Viofo cameras and parking battery backup on a new car. Really fast delivery. The parts were at my door before I could license my car. Great job!

Excellent & Friendly Service

My car dealership broke this cable when my vehicle was in for a service. They offered to pay to rectify their mistake. I sourced the cable from BlackboxMyCar and they kindly shipped it over to Scotland! I couldn’t find one in the UK. Excellent value, first class communication and exceptional service. Highly recommend. Thanks.

Sensible Upgrade, hope it lasts

My last adaptor melted :|
however, this adaptor featured a couple upgrades. The 12v side features a 90 degree wire connection which is great, i dont have a wire sticking straight out. Cable felt a little sturdier too, but also shorter which i dont mind. Less chance of getting caught up in. A little pricey (-1), but ordering the correct cable was easy, no mix up in packaging, no problems during shipping and it connected to my Cellink Neo with no hassle. Would def order again :)

Absolutely flawless service and quality product

I needed a new cable as my old one had broken somehow. As I was looking for a specific BlackVue one, I wasn’t able to find it on the site. Contacting customer support though, they were able to quickly provide me the CellLink cable and inform me that it’s compatible. Their response times were exquisite. Responses were received within 5 minutes. It was fantastic. The wow factor didn’t end there however. I made the purchase order mid afternoon, by evening I’d gotten confirmation that it was shipped. Delivery was supposed to take 3 days, but they’re partnered with FedEx and I instead got it next day. From me contacting customer support to receiving the product took less than 20 hours. Simply amazing!

Great work, as always!

When I purchased my Thinkware dash cam and Celink battery several years ago, I had a thousand questions. Staff was extremely helpful, very knowledgeable, and most patient in helping give me a greater awareness of exactly what I needed for my particular system.

Recently, with change in automobiles, I needed some new unmodified wiring for my older Cellink B. You came through again! Everything is set up again and working perfectly.

Thanks so very much for all of your help and expertise!

Hi Danny, we are glad we were able to help you again! Thank you for your repeat custom and we look forward to helping you again in the future. If you require any further assistance please don't hesitate to reach out
