VIOFO BP100 Dash Cam Battery Pack: Power Parking Mode the Right Way

Power Your Dash Cam in Parking Mode with Confidence

The VIOFO BP100 dash cam battery pack gives your camera a safe, steady power source for parking mode - without touching your car's starter battery. It's built for long runtimes, quick charging and app-based monitoring, making it ideal for commuters, apartment parking and airport runs.

Why It Matters for Australian Drivers

Parking mode is only useful if your camera actually stays on. Relying on the vehicle battery can trigger low-voltage cut-offs or no-start headaches, especially with small or ageing batteries. A dedicated dash cam battery pack isolates the load, protects your car's battery and delivers predictable runtime.

Core Insights & Specs at a Glance

• Capacity & runtime: 7,650mAh pack designed for up to ~32 hours of parking-mode recording.
• Expandable power: Add the EP100 expansion module to lift total capacity to 22,950mAh - around ~96 hours of coverage.
• Fast charging: ~100 mins via cigarette-lighter, or ~70 mins when hardwired to the fuse box.
• Dual outputs: Dedicated dash cam output plus a USB-C port (5V/3A) for phones or accessories.
• Thermal & electrical safety: Overheat, over/under-voltage, overcurrent, short-circuit and over-charge protection.
• Bluetooth app: Check live battery level, charge/usage time, temperature and expansion status.

Dash Cam Guys Perspective

We like battery packs for customers who want reliable parking coverage without wiring into vehicle circuits, or who drive modern vehicles with sensitive stop/start and smart alternators. The BP100's quick charge, high-temp safeguards and dual outputs make it a strong daily-driver pick.

Practical Setup Tips

• Choose your charge method: Use the cigarette-lighter lead for a clean, tool-free install. For fastest top-ups, hardwire to the fuse box.
• Mounting: Secure the pack under a seat or in the glovebox area with airflow, away from direct sun.
• Camera settings: Enable parking mode, set motion sensitivity for your environment.
• Go further with expansion: Add the EP100 if you need multi-day airport parking coverage.
