If using parking mode via the hardwire kit, will the 12v car battery be drained quicker than usual?
I mean, average 12v battery life would be 1yr to 1.5yrs.
But having this parking mode will definitely drain more right?
And can we use the parking mode on Certain times?
Or it can only be used all the time whenever we switched off car engine?
I've been using U1000 since the release in Malaysia. Before that was the F800 Pro.
My car been using the same Amaron Hi-Life NS60 for about 3 years now after changing the battery that came from Honda factory.
Thinkware dashcam has a voltage cutoff which I've set to 12v and also a timer in which the parking mode will turn itself off after the set time. Mine is set for 48 hours.
Here is the settings for the parking mode.

There is an option to turn off the parking mode during the winter.
The parking mode will always turn on after the engine is off. Unless you manually off the Thinkware before you off the engine then the parking mode won't turn on.
