Low battery warning since fitting dashcam
Low battery warning since fitting dashcam
Post by RichM50d » Mon Apr 02, 2018 11:01 am
The car has been in to 2 dealers, both left it on charge overnight, and one updated the software, so said it was all sorted, and that the battery is fine.
Yesterday when I started the car, I got the warning again.
Has anyone else experienced this? The dashcam is a Blackvue DR750.

How is yours connected?
Mine is plugged into the rear boot socket. Once the car is locked power is turned off - I think?

I resolved it by adjusting the cut off to 12.2V (from 12.1v) and auto turn off after 12 hours. If the Blackview doesn't have these options you may be in trouble

My Thinkware used to trigger this in the X5 but oddly never had a problem with any other car before or since.

It’s going in to the Blackvue dealer today for them to have a look at.

I have a Blackvue 750s 2ch and exactly the same thing on my m50d
the installer said it is normal after being left over night even with a power magic pro fitted

It must be the power magic pro, as the low battery warning hasn’t come on since they disconnected it. They said there’s also a battery pack that Blackvue make, but I thought that was the whole point of the PMP???
