Thinkware iVolt Mini External Dash Cam 4500 mAh Battery Pack

Extended Parking Surveillance: Up to 20 Hours of Runtime

This external battery allows a single-channel dash cam to operate in Parking mode for up to 20 hours on a full charge. If a dual-channel system with a rear camera is installed, the runtime is approximately 16 hours. This provides reliable security coverage for daily commuters and those parking in high-risk areas. The unit ensures your vehicle is monitored without draining the primary car battery.

Rapid Charging: Full Capacity in 45 Minutes

The iVolt Mini features a rapid charge cycle that reaches 100% capacity in 45 minutes when connected to the vehicle fuse box. This fast charging speed ensures the unit is ready for the next parking session after a relatively short drive. It is engineered to maintain consistent power delivery during extended commutes. Drivers can rely on this efficiency for daily parking surveillance needs.

LiFePo4 Battery Technology: Safety and Longevity

The unit is built with a LiFePo4 (Lithium iron phosphate) battery, chosen for its safety profile and thermal stability. It offers a capacity of 12.8V 4,500mAh and 57.6Wh to provide stable voltage to the dash cam. This chemistry is optimized for the temperature fluctuations common in vehicle interiors. It supports a discharging temperature range of -10°C to 60°C for reliable year-round performance.

Universal Compatibility for Thinkware Systems

This external battery is compatible with all Thinkware dash cam models, making it a versatile upgrade for existing setups. It connects directly to the fuse box for a clean, hardwired installation that stays out of sight. The package includes three types of fuse taps and fuses to ensure a proper fit for most vehicle fuse panels. Proper hardwiring is required to achieve the advertised 45-minute charge time.

Installation and Flexible Power Options

The device is primarily a hardwired product designed to charge while the vehicle engine is running. For those preferring a different setup, an optional 12V Charging Cable can be purchased separately for power outlet use. If using the 12V input, users must set the device to the LOW setting to avoid hardware damage. Using the incorrect power setting may cause system failure.

Can I use the iVolt Mini with a non-Thinkware dash cam?

Thinkware officially supports this battery for all Thinkware dash cam models. Compatibility with third-party cameras is not guaranteed as the unit is optimized for Thinkware power specifications.

What is the recommended setting when using a 12V power outlet?

You must use the LOW setting on the input cable if charging via a 12V power outlet. Selecting the HIGH setting while using a 12V input may cause permanent damage to the device.

Does the iVolt Mini charge while the car is parked?

No, the device charges while the vehicle is driving. The hardwire installation allows the battery to draw power from the fuse box only when the vehicle engine is on.

What is included in the box with the iVolt Mini?

The package includes the external battery, a hardwire charging cable, an output cable, three types of fuse taps, three types of fuses, two pieces of Velcro tape, and a Quick Start Guide.
