Why Cellink Battery for Parking Mode?
Available Models
How does it works?
Cellink Battery supports two charging modes:
• Simple installation: Just plug the battery into the cigarette lighter socket of your vehicle. • Hardwired installation: For fastest charging speed, connect the battery to the fuse panel. When vehicle's ignition is switched ON, Cellink Battery charges and supplies power to the dashcam. When vehicle's ignition is switched OFF, Cellink Battery supplies power to the dashcam independently until power depletes. Above setup will not interfere with car battery's performance and life. Other Power Solutions is available but uses power from your car battery: 1) Power Magic EZ (plug to OBD port) 2) Power Magic PRO (connection to fuse panel) |

CELLINK COMPARE
#For actual charging time when connected to NEO: 85mins (hardwire) or 1hr 50min (cigar jack)
POWER DURATION TABLE
Note: Power duration may differs depending on the actual environment
1) I have a new car which is under warranty. Can I install the Cellink for my dashcam to enable the parking mode?
Fret not, our Cellink battery can also support charging using the car cigar jack now, this is considered external connection for car accessories which will not interfere with the internal wiring of the original car. Please request to our authorised dealer before installation.
2) I am driving a continental car and I am worried that such installation may cause electrical error. Is it safe?
Cellink battery is a standalone rechargeable battery, it will only be charged while driving and supplies power directly from the Cellink battery to dashcam while in parking mode. This will not cause any error like "Excessive Leakage Current" in BMWs. It is safe and compatible for any car make and model.
3) What are the advantages of using Cellink battery than tapping the power from my car battery for parking mode?
1) Cellink is a standalone rechargeable battery which will not interfere with the life and performance of your car battery.
2) The automotive batteries perform and behave differently to regular lithium ion batteries found in smartphones. Unlike lithium-based batteries, batteries for vehicles last much longer when stored in a charged state. The instability caused by leaving it discharged most of the time while in parking mode will increase the sulfation process, a build-up of lead sulfate crystals.
A sulfated battery can lead to:
a) Loss of cranking power which leads to risk unable to start the car
b) Longer charging times
c) Shorter running times between charges
d) Dramatically shorter battery life

4) Where will Cellink battery be installed in the car?
Cellink B battery is a reliable and maintenance free battery hence need not user intervention. It will be normally hidden from sight , typical location is below the seat, inside the lower part of dashboard or in the boot.
5) Since the battery is installed out of sight in the car cabin, how can I check the battery performance?
With the new Cellink Neo which comes with built-in Bluetooth, you can use your smartphone to check the charging time, usage time and settings wirelessly.
6) Can the cable be completely hidden after the installation?
As a default installation method, the charging cable is completely hidden when terminated to the fuse box.
If you choose to use the cigar jack cable, the cable around the female cigar jack may be exposed. This depends on the location of the cigar jack in your car.

7) Is Cellink different from a regular power bank?
Yes indeed! The Cellink Battery is made of Lithium Iron Phosphate cells (LiFePO4). A regular power bank designed as backup batteries for phones and portable electronic devices are usually of the Lithium-ion (Li-ion) or Lithium-polymer (LiPo) type. Those high-density batteries are not suitable for use in a closed parked vehicle as they risk causing fire or explosion. LiFePO4 batteries can sustain more extreme temperatures, more charge cycles and are also more environment-friendly.
8) I have a 10,000mAh regular power bank but the size is much smaller than this 6,000mAh Cellink battery. Why is it so?
mAh rating can be misleading if we don’t consider voltage. Tip: think in terms of Watt-hours (Wh). Of course the type of battery should be taken into consideration: high power density batteries have higher capacity for a given volume. In other words, at same capacity, a Li-ion or LiPo battery will always be smaller than a LiFePO4 battery. Still, you should keep in mind that consumer electronics and car accessories assume different voltage values. The milliamp rating of regular power banks is usually based on a voltage of 3.7V. This means for a 10,000 mAh battery, the total capacity is 10,000mAh x 3.7V / 1,000 = 37Wh. By way of comparison, the Power Magic Ultra Battery has a capacity of 6,000mAh at 12.8V, which translates into 76.8Wh.
9) Can I bring Cellink battery on a plane?
According to the IATA (International Air Transport Association) spare batteries under 100Wh can be carried on a plane in a carry-on luggage–NOT in checked luggage–like most lithium batteries, without requiring the operator’s approval. It is recommended to check with the airline for confirmation with the following specs:
Spec:
1) Cellink NEX > 38.4Wh (Lithium Iron Phosphate / LiFePo4)
2) Cellink NEO > 76.8Wh (Lithium Iron Phosphate / LiFePo4)
3) Cellink NEO Extended > 84.5Wh (Lithium Iron Phosphate/ LifePo4)
Spec:
1) Cellink NEX > 38.4Wh (Lithium Iron Phosphate / LiFePo4)
2) Cellink NEO > 76.8Wh (Lithium Iron Phosphate / LiFePo4)
3) Cellink NEO Extended > 84.5Wh (Lithium Iron Phosphate/ LifePo4)
Why using car battery is not recommended?
To power dashcams for parking mode is a challenging problem where mobile power is needed. Even though car battery has much higher capacity than Cellink battery, it is not designed for routine deep discharge cycles while car is parked hence its performance may deteriorate and life is shortened prematurely over time.
Automotive batteries perform differently from regular lithium ion batteries. Batteries for vehicles last much longer when stored in a charged state. The instability caused by leaving it discharge most of the time (during parking mode), will increase the sulfation process, resulting in the built up of lead sulphate crystals. A sulfated battery can lead to loss of cranking power (risk of unable to start), longer charging time, shorter running times between charges and shorter battery life. Prolong discharge of car battery may cause electrical error on dashboard! Learn more >. |

Cellink NEO
Smarter with Bluetooth built-in
Connects to your Cellink NEO easily with dedicated app.
Cellink battery is normally installed in the location out of your sight. Cellink NEO supports Bluetooth for compatibility with free Cellink NEO Battery Manager app (iOS/ Android) hence you can easily connect with your smartphone. 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. |
EXTENDED BATTERY FOR DOUBLE CAPACITY
NEO comes with Extended Battery port which you can connect to the new NEO Extended Battery to more than double your capacity and Parking Mode time. The NEO Extended Battery can store up to 6600mAh of power, it's 10% more power than the main NEO battery. Multiple Extended Battery units can be connected in sequence to provide even larger capacity. |
FAST CHARGING
To enjoy the rapid charging time of 40 minutes, Cellink NEO needs to be hardwired to fuse panel. Alternatively, it also supports simple installation to cigar jack (optional power cable) with charging time of 80 minutes. NEO comes with selectable charging mode switch: 1) HIGH (9 Ampere) - Rapid Charging (hardwired) 2) LOW (5 Ampere) - Low Charging (cigar jack) |
