If you connect this camera to your car's battery and leave it in parking mode, your car's battery will slowly drain. There are 4 main factors that will determine if your car will die the next time you try to start the engine.1. The amount you drive. When you drive decently, to work or to the grocery store, your car needs to charge the battery enough so the camera doesn't drain it to death. However, if you have a short commute, you can get a clean discharge every day.2. How often do you drive. If you leave your car for a few days (hello pandemic!), the camera may start draining the battery again if it keeps recording. depending on where you park which brings us to .3. where do you park Whether you're parked on the street, in a lot, in a driveway, or in a garage, your camera might be active most of the day, if not all day. Leaves, cars, trees, people and even birds will turn your camera on.4. battery type. A conventional car battery (or starter battery) is not designed to be constantly charged and discharged. It's also not designed to be stable for long periods of time. It is designed to provide an energy pulse to start the engine. Frequent discharging without adequate charging shortens battery life. You can even see powdered sulfate crystals or "sulfation" forming on the terminals. Some automotive batteries (general purpose batteries, AGM batteries) are designed to provide both power and sustained power and not lose as much during their life cycle due to frequent discharge.
