VIOFO BP100 7650mAh Dash Cam Battery Pack - LiFePO4, 32h Parking Mode, EP100 Expandable

Park for Two Days and Still Come Back to a Recording. The VIOFO BP100 is a 7650mAh battery pack that runs your dash cam for around 32 hours once the engine is off

Every hardwire kit carries the same catch: parked recording draws from your starter battery, so you set a voltage cut-off to protect it, and the camera stops watching long before you return. For a driver who leaves the car at an airport, a worksite or a long-stay car park, a few hours of cover is not cover at all. The BP100 carries its own 98 Wh, which is the difference between a camera that watches the first evening and one that is still watching on day two.

Who This Isn't For: At 1.22 kg and 171 mm square it needs a real home in a boot or under a seat, and it will not go in a glovebox. If a single night parked is the actual requirement, the smaller VIOFO BP60 covers that in a third less space. If a few hours is enough and your starter battery is healthy, a hardwire kit does the job for far less. The BP100 is for drivers who park unattended for days, or run three channels continuously.

DCG Highlights

What We Love

• Around 32 hours of parked recording on a single-channel camera, which is the longest runtime in the VIOFO range before you expand it
• Expandable with the EP100 module to a combined 22,950 mAh, so the pack grows with the setup instead of being replaced
• Charges to full in roughly 70 minutes on the hardwire input, which a normal commute covers
• LiFePO4 cells rather than standard lithium, which is the chemistry that copes with a car park in February
• 11 A hardwire input, enough headroom to refill a 98 Wh pack quickly without stressing the circuit
• Bluetooth to the VIOFO app shows charge level and temperature warnings, instead of three LEDs and a guess
• Your starter battery is never the parked power source, which suits older batteries, EVs, hybrids and long stays

Good to Know

• At 1.22 kg and 171 x 171 x 35 mm this is a genuine box. Work out where it lives before you order.
• Charging is specified between 0 and 50 degrees C, so a car sitting hotter than that pauses charging until it cools.
• There is no USB-C charging input. The BP100 refills from the car only, by hardwire or the cigarette socket. The smaller BP60 is the one that charges at a desk.
• It costs several times what a hardwire kit does, so it earns its place when you genuinely park unattended for long stretches.

Why Your Camera Stops Recording Before You Get Back

A hardwire kit has a shutdown point built into it on purpose. It watches your starter battery and cuts power at a set voltage, commonly 11.8 V or 12.0 V, so the car still starts in the morning. On a healthy battery that buys a number of hours; on a tired one it can be a good deal less. The camera is not faulty when it stops, it is doing what the kit told it to do. A battery pack changes the arrangement. The BP100 charges from the car while the engine runs, then discharges its own 98 Wh into the camera once you switch off, so the cut-off that protects your car no longer decides how long you are covered. The trade-off is honest enough: you are buying a second battery, and this one is large enough to need a planned home.

Why We Lean Towards a Battery Pack in an EV, Hybrid or Newer Car

A dash cam does not draw from the big traction battery in an EV. As we set out in Will a Dash Cam Drain My EV Battery?, accessories run off a separate 12 V battery, which in most EVs and hybrids is small and tightly managed by the car. Many of these vehicles also have no switched ACC fuse to hardwire to, which we cover in No ACC Fuse? Why Dash Cam Parking Mode Fails in Newer Cars.

There is a second reason that gets very little airtime. Nearly every new vehicle is LTE-connected, so the manufacturer can change how the car behaves while parked in an over-the-air update, including whether the traction battery tops up the 12 V accessory battery overnight. A hardwired parking setup that worked on Monday can be doing nothing on Tuesday, with nothing changed at your end. A battery pack takes the car out of that equation.

BP100 or BP60: Which Size Do You Actually Need

Buy the BP100 if you park unattended for more than a night, run three channels, or want the option to expand later. Buy the BP60 if one night is the job and you would rather the pack disappeared into a glove compartment. There is more background in our complete Aussie guide to dash cam battery packs, and a full walkthrough in the BP100 user manual guide.

Top Benefits

• Cover more than one night: Around 32 hours on a single-channel camera means an airport park-up or a weekend away is still recorded.
• Room to grow: The EP100 module lifts combined capacity to 22,950 mAh, so a three-channel setup can be fed for longer without starting again.
• Nothing asked of your car: The starter battery is never the source, so there is no cut-off voltage to set and no flat battery to explain.
• Independent of the vehicle: No reliance on a switched circuit, or on how the manufacturer manages power in the next software update.
• Built for Australian heat: LiFePO4 cells that tolerate the temperatures which shorten the life of ordinary lithium packs.
• Back to full on the commute: About 70 minutes hardwired, or around 100 minutes on the cigarette socket.
• Runs more than VIOFO: Most 12 V dash cams work through the supplied output leads and adapters.

How It Installs

1. Decide where the pack lives first. A boot side pocket, under a front seat or beneath a rear seat all work, and all keep it out of direct sun. Fix it down with the supplied Velcro tape so it cannot move under braking.
2. Run the input. For the fastest charge, connect the supplied 3 m hardwire input cable to a constant fuse and a switched fuse using the supplied fuse taps, plus an earth point. To skip the fuse box, use the 2 m cigarette lighter input lead instead.
3. Run the output to the camera. Use the 4 m Type-C hardwire output cable for a camera that needs parking mode signalling, or the 0.3 m cigarette lighter output lead where your camera came with its own 12 V adapter.
4. Tuck the cables under the sill trim and up the A-pillar, power the pack on, then pair it to the VIOFO app over Bluetooth to confirm it is charging.

Allow around an hour for a hardwired install, or ten minutes for the cigarette socket route. Fuse box work means pulling some trim, and a boot run means lifting carpet. We do not install cameras ourselves, but you can find someone local in our directory of independent installers. They are independent businesses, so you book and contract directly with them.

What's in the Box

• BP100 battery pack x 1

• Hardwire Type-C output cable x 1, 4 m
• Fuse holders and fuses, Velcro tapes, user manual
• Not included: the EP100 expansion module, a microSD card, a dash cam, and any Mini-USB adapter an older camera may need

Fitment & Compatibility

• Vehicle systems: 12 V and 24 V, with an 11.8 V to 28 V input range, so cars, utes, vans and trucks are all in scope.
• VIOFO cameras: Works across the A119, A129, A139, A229, A329 and T-series families using the supplied leads.
• Other brands: Works with most 12 V dash cams through the supplied output leads. A camera with a Mini-USB input needs an adapter, which is not supplied.
• Expansion: The EP100 module connects to the Ext Bat port. We do not currently stock the EP100, so ask us before you plan an install around it.
• Not compatible with: 6 V systems, motorcycles on an unregulated supply, and cameras drawing more than 3 A from the dash cam output.

Upgrade Your Parked Protection Today

Add the VIOFO BP100 to your cart if you need parked recording measured in days rather than hours. Pair it with a high-endurance microSD card, because continuous parked recording fills a card far faster than a commute does, and with fuse taps and a circuit tester if you are wiring it in yourself. If one night is really the job, the BP60 is smaller and lighter. Ships from Melbourne within 24 hours^*, covered by our 30-Day No-Worries returns.
