I'd like to leave a dashcam in motion sensor mode so wondering if possible to enable the lighter plug to remain always on, Is that possible somehow?
I've kind of wished to run a battery tender to the aux plug, but as you note, toggles off on powerdown, but for your purpose, wouldn't a lower rated fused supply be maybe safer better... ?sterlinggold said:I'd like to leave a dashcam in motion sensor mode so wondering if possible to enable the lighter plug to remain always on, Is that possible somehow?
Any specific reason? Don't want to hijack the thread, but on my sports car, the OEM tender float charger sends the trickle charge through the lighter plug that is always on...it's very easy to plug and unplug, etc. And is properly fused... So not arguing with you, but wondering what the reasoning is to wire to the battery... On the LEAF, I just use a CTEK with clips, but involves raising the hood, etc.... I have been tempted to wire a harness that came with the CTEK to the battery, but haven't gotten around to it...Staque said:You should wire a battery tender to the battery. .
Staque said:You should wire a battery tender to the battery. But you can run your always-on dash cam from the OBD port, which has both switched and non-switched 12V. You can even buy a dedicated OBD to micro USB adapter for exactly this purpose.
could not find a product converting ODB male to female lighter socket.
