If you're looking for the B-124, you've found the latest and greatest version! BlackVue's B-124X Power Magic Ultra Battery Pack is the newest battery pack that is fast-charging, long-lasting and connected! Doubling the runtime of the previous-generation B-112 battery pack, the B-124X Power Magic Ultra Battery functions the same way: it recharges when your engine is running and powers your dashcam when ignition is off.
Very much like the new Cellink NEO battery pack, the B-124X Power Magic Ultra Battery offers the newest improvements in battery pack functionality:
- Fast Charging: the Power Magic Ultra Battery reaches a full charge in a record 40 minutes when hardwired (80 minutes if connected to the cigarette lighter socket).
- Multi-purpose: USB port for powering/charging various devices.
- Long lasting: Parking Mode can last more than 24 hours with a single-channel BlackVue.
- Connected: Compatible with the free BlackVue Battery Manager app.
Installation
The B-124X Ultra Battery supports two charging modes:
- Simple installation: just plug the battery into the cigarette lighter socket of your
vehicle.
Charging current: 5A – Charging time: approx. 80 minutes. - Hardwired installation: For fastest charging speed, connect the battery to the fuse
panel.
Charging current: 9A – Charging time: approx. 40 minutes.
Parking Mode
With the B-124X Ultra Battery Pack you get amazing autonomy in Parking Mode, without ever drawing power from your car’s battery. BlackVue dashcams automatically switch to Parking Mode to monitor your parked vehicle, but only writes to the memory card when something happens (motion or impact detected), which has two benefits:
- Less chance for important files to be overwritten during long Parking Mode sessions.
- Extends the lifespan of your memory card due to less overall usage.
Battery Manager App
The B-124X Ultra Battery Pack supports Bluetooth for compatibility with the free dedicated BlackVue Battery Manager app (iOS/Android). When charging, the app displays charge percentage, charging voltage and expected remaining time until full charge. When ignition is off, the app informs you of the expected Parking Mode remaining time until depletion, based on the dashcam’s power consumption.
