Jun 11, 2021 at 3:38 comment added Oreo Collas @SpehroPefhany Thanks for the advise. This is something that I do plan on getting but is outside of the scope of this question as I would like something that I could rely on even if I were stranded without a convenient outlet.
Jun 11, 2021 at 3:35 comment added Spehro 'speff' Pefhany You should probably get a small float charger and keep it plugged in. Deep-discharging the 12V battery will eventually kill it. It's possible you could find a solar charger but the ratings may be optimistic, especially since you seem to be in the PNW.
Jun 11, 2021 at 3:34 comment added Oreo Collas @DKNguyen Thanks for the reply. The 420mA would need to power all of the car's systems long enough for them to take over and engage the HV system. Not JUST the cameras. Do you still think that would be enough?
Jun 11, 2021 at 3:20 comment added DKNguyen Huh. I didn't realize electric cars were like that. That follows large electric radio control aircraft logic where the controls and radio run off a small battery and the motor runs off a large battery. You don't really worry about the small battery running out since the large battery that powers the propeller always runs out first. FYI, 420mA@12V is quite a lot for something battery powered all the time. It would suck if your cameras really drew that all the time. That would kill the battery in a car in about a week. Maybe you should get motion activated cameras instead.
