Genesis GV60 Dashcam Installation Review — Safe Parking Recording
Genesis GV60 dashcam installation with Cellink Neo 8+ Slim auxiliary battery for safe parking recording. No battery drain.
The Hidden Risk of Dashcam Parking Mode on Electric Vehicles
Many Genesis GV60 owners connect their dashcams directly to the B+ fuse for convenient parking recording. However, this common practice can lead to a significant problem: battery drain due to parasitic current. Even advanced electric vehicles like the GV60 are not immune. This installation addresses that exact issue by integrating a dedicated power solution, ensuring your dashcam operates safely during parking without impacting the vehicle's original battery.
Cellink Neo 8+ Slim: The Smart Choice for EV Dashcam Power
For this Genesis GV60, we installed the Cellink Neo 8+ Slim, a specialized auxiliary battery designed to power dashcams during parking. This system offers a clean installation, connecting via the trunk's cigarette lighter socket in an IN/OUT configuration. This method preserves the vehicle's original wiring, making it ideal for warranty purposes and future resale. The Cellink Neo 8+ Slim is configured to charge at 7.5A, allowing for a full charge within approximately one hour of driving, providing ample power for parking mode. It's crucial to note that the optimal charging current varies based on the vehicle model and battery capacity, underscoring the need for professional consultation.
Dashcam Parking Recording: 24/7 Peace of Mind
The Cellink Neo 8+ Slim boasts a capacity sufficient for approximately 24 hours of continuous recording, assuming a standard dashcam power draw of 320mA. This ensures your GV60 is protected even during extended periods away from the vehicle. For even longer parking durations, the charging current can be adjusted. Management is made simple through a Bluetooth-enabled app, which provides real-time monitoring of the auxiliary battery's charge status, estimated recording time, voltage, current, and remaining capacity. This app also allows for temporary charging suspension, which is particularly useful when the vehicle is serviced at a dealership.
Installation Process:
- Connect the Cellink Neo 8+ Slim to the trunk's cigarette lighter socket using the provided IN/OUT harness.
- Configure the charging current via the Bluetooth app, typically set to 7.5A for the GV60.
- Pair the device with your smartphone via the dedicated app for monitoring.
