Batería BlackVue Power Magic Ultra (B-130X)

Pro:
Massive capacity, lasts a very long time on a 970x box 2 camera system. Does what it needs to do
Sturdy housing

Cons:
only charges about 15% on a hour long commute. Connected to a feed capable of 20a, yet it barely pulls 5a and just gets extremely hot. On days I don't commute I have to provide it external power, which seems to defeat the purpose?

Bluetooth also doesn't work very well. if the battery is behind/near anything you won't even detect it. I have to have my phone within inches and even then it will sometimes fail to connect.

For the cost I don't feel it worth it, I was hoping to keep in brand for the cloud integration but since it wont stay connected it isn't very helpful.

Purchased the B-130X for a BlackVue 970X 2CH. Also purchased the Power Inverter to charge the battery in the house. BBMC was excellent to deal with. Order shipped promptly as usual.

Currently using the cigarette lighter plug as opposed to the hardwire method.

The system works perfectly and the battery lasts a couple of days without charging. The only “complaint” is that you cannot connect to the battery via WiFi - BlueTooth only and that range is rather limited.

I have been using BlackVue cameras for many years. This is an expensive addition to an already expensive camera setup, but well worth the investment.

Purchased this battery and have had it installed for about a week. The purchase from black box my car went very smoothly. The battery works very well for my needs. I commute an hour each way for work so it’s always at its maximum charge when parked and lasts around 22 hours with my DR-900X 2 channel setup. Very pleased with purchase.

Works as advertised. I have the DR900X Plus 2CH and get approximately 20 hours on a full charge. I have mine hardwired install and charging is fast! Do now that battery protection must be on and low voltage cut off and cut off timers must be off in order for battery to work in parking mode.

Pros: highest legal capacity. lithium iron phosphate chemistry means low risk of explosions, fires, in hot interior car summertime environments. Onboard programming that shuts off charging from car battery when car is off means car's main battery is preserved 100%. Parking mode recording for trips to markets only.
Cons: For 8-12hrs parked during work, 96Wh parking mode recording is inadequate. Inability to stack another unit onto this nevertheless. HIGH price ($400 retail). Proprietary wiring for BlackVue dashcams only. I had to solder/jimmie wiring for my Viofo A139 pro. The fuse tap to interior car fusebox is very sketchy and janky. Caused a fuse to smoke/blow despite correct polarity checked w/multimeter. Perhaps a problem at my car fuse, but in any case I think the included cig lighter is the better solution, but this meant I lose the 9amp charging - only 5amps charging instead, which is adequate charge up over a 40min drive. This is a super quality unit made in Korea and likely the best unit on the market at this time, especially given that alternatives are 95% of it's price anyways. I'd trust BlackVue programming and quality most.
