Sotong1977 4th Gear March 14, 2018 Share March 14, 2018 My Amaron died on me after 6mths. Car connected to carcam setup with parking mode. Still poor considering the stock battery lasted 1yr with same setting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitvip Supersonic March 14, 2018 Share March 14, 2018 (edited) My Amaron died on me after 6mths. Car connected to carcam setup with parking mode. Still poor considering the stock battery lasted 1yr with same setting. I thought Amaron provides 12 months' warranty? Btw, first time using Amaron. It has been 51 months. When it was about 4 years old, I left the car parked for 9 days. On my return, it was still OK! Edited March 14, 2018 by Fitvip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there are good n bad batches of amaron batteries. If tats the case then its a matter of poor quality control i.e. wider quality threshold for lower retail price Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optramagnum 6th Gear March 14, 2018 Share March 14, 2018 (edited) When install cam to use parking mode function and tapped to car battery, ensure it can auto shut down when battery drop to certain voltage. I set mine for 12.2V and sensitivity to impact to low, otherwise it will keep recording during heavy rain. I also realised the parking mode is getting shorter and shorter. Battery can't hold the charge as long as before, after 18mths of usage. Edited March 14, 2018 by Optramagnum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic March 19, 2018 Share March 19, 2018 My Amaron died on me after 6mths. Car connected to carcam setup with parking mode. Still poor considering the stock battery lasted 1yr with same setting. Your carcam sucked battery power in parking mode. When enough juice is taken from the battery, it goes flat. When it's flat it cannot start the engine until it's charged full again. It's not right to compare a flat battery, no matter what is the brand. A flat battery is always a problem with those using their carcam in parked mode. But they insist on using it, as it is their rights. I say, if you insist, get ready for a flat battery. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
