Why is my dash cam not going into parking mode with the PowerCell 5?Updated an hour ago

If your dash cam is not going into parking mode with the PowerCell 5, it may be an installation error or a settings issue on the battery itself.

  1. If you're using the 3-wire output to connect your dash cam to the battery pack, did you ensure to match the wires up by their labels rather than their colours? Some brands may have different colours for their hardwiring kits' wires compared to what the PowerCell 5 has on its output.
  2. Is the PowerCell 5 connected to a power source that shuts off when the vehicle isn't running?
  3. If all of the above checks out, does the screen on the PowerCell 5 say ACC ON or ACC OFF? The dash cam will only be able to enter parking mode if the screen says ACC OFF. If it says ACC ON, long-press the down arrow to switch it into ACC OFF mode.
