    These things forces you to register an account, where the app uploads the data that not only includes your battery info, driving statistics but your location information as well. So I say no thanks to such apps, anyone with mulitple cars should have float chargers lying around, plug those on your cars and keep them healthy and charged.

    This device is a piece of sh#t. My dashcam is hardwired to my car and without using my car, the battery lasts more than 24 hours. After I installed this device, my car battery will just last for 12 hours or less. No, my battery has not degraded because when I removed this device, my battery lasts more than 24 hours again. This junk is more harmful than it's supposed to be helpful as it turned out to cause a parasitic drain.

      I used it for 3 weeks now. The charge went down from 100 to 48% so far.

      Normally it lasted for about a month in the past before dying completely.

I live in Russia where it gets to -40 degrees celsius. What temperature is this device rated for? Probably only -20?

      I used it for about a year. Recently sold that car to my parents, and they are actually driving it daily now, so that device is not needed any more. It worked fine for me overall. My only gripe was - too many notifications. I would receive them a few times a day, instead of just one, even though I set it so.
