I just got a new dashcam and was contemplating powering options and one of them was an external battery pack which seems so conceptually wrong given the fact that we're driving around with a ginormous battery pack, so why the need for another one ?
Then again, there's quite a few reports about issues with the 12V battery faulty ones, loose connections and for whatever the reason they just go dead...
It is my understanding that the LVB is charged by the HVB whenever needed, regardless if the truck is "on" or not - is this correct ?
If so, there wouldn't be much of a point in getting an external pack and the potential upgrade / benefit is reduced.
Is there and point in swapping out the LVB for another one ? Rather than the measly 35Ah that's there now it seems a 55Ah should be easy to fit.
