Vinceng Turbocharged August 2, 2019 Share August 2, 2019 (edited) Space constraints or just cost cutting? Obviously a cost cutting measure. A smaller batter is cheaper. The metal base plate holding the battery is larger than the 45Ah battery and can accommodate a larger 66Ah battery. In a way, these car manufacturers are sabotaging consumers because some car buyers are unaware they have such a tiny battery commonly used in a 1,000c car, and proceed to install HID lamps, some fanciful cabin lighting or ICE and they get a flat battery in months. Even without mods, these small batteries usually flat out just after the 12 months warranty. Edited August 2, 2019 by Vinceng ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're driving highway mostly... so the alternator got enough time to re-charge your battery... like that battery is usually quite good... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without mods, these small batteries usually flat out just after the 12 months warranty. My battery lasted almost 2 years, even with my dash camera on parking mode (albeit with a voltage cutoff). That is quite decent enough to me. But ya i did change to a battery with more amperage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rskeisuke Clutched August 4, 2019 Share August 4, 2019 may i know how is the typical blackvue 2ch dashcam installed in the cerato by c&c? does it permanently plug into one of the 12V socket? how is the power cable managed? hidden or messy? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when car is not powered on, the dash cam will not have power. The cable management is done very nicely, hidden, open the fuse box on driver side then u can see, they even use a fuse tap connector with separate fuse. Btw if u interested to upgrade it to WiFi model. Blackvue running a promo For quite some time now, trade in your cnc foc one and top up 100 bucks to get 590W. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
