It charges while you drive, then runs your camera entirely on its own once you park — so your car always starts, no matter how long the recording runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"dcc-pdp-chips\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 25h parking recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero car-battery drain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with any 12V dash cam\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecharges in about 60 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 22,000 charge cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowers parking mode independently. With 7,500 mAh (96 Wh) of LiFePO4 cells, the NEO 8+S runs a BlackVue Elite 8 1CH for up to 25 hours of parking recording, or up to 17.5 hours on the 2-channel version. Cameras that draw less power will run longer; power-hungry 4K dual-channel setups will run shorter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes your car battery out of the equation entirely. While parked, the camera draws only from the NEO 8+S — never from the vehicle's 12V system. This is the single most common reason Australian drivers add a battery pack: hardwired parking mode on its own can flatten a car battery over a long weekend.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecharges fast, automatically. A full charge takes roughly 60 minutes hardwired, or about 80 minutes through a 12V accessory socket. A normal commute is more than enough to top it up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt to last in Australian conditions. LiFePO4 chemistry is rated beyond 22,000 charge cycles and operates safely from -10°C to 60°C — it is a far more heat-tolerant and longer-lived chemistry than the lithium-ion packs it replaced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NEO 8+S is our default recommendation for \u003cstrong\u003eEV and hybrid owners\u003c\/strong\u003e, where tapping the 12V system for parking power is awkward or discouraged by the manufacturer. It is equally at home for anyone who parks on the street overnight, leaves a car at the airport, or runs a work vehicle that sits for days between jobs. If you only need a few hours of parking cover and want to spend less, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cellink-neo-6-slim-battery-pack\"\u003eNEO 6 Slim\u003c\/a\u003e is the value option; if you need to go longer still, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cellink-ext7-expansion-battery-pack\"\u003eEXT7+ expansion pack\u003c\/a\u003e chains onto this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility \u0026amp; installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NEO 8+S works with \u003cstrong\u003eall 12V dash cams\u003c\/strong\u003e — BlackVue, Thinkware, FineVu, VIOFO and others — which makes it the universal answer when your camera has no battery option of its own, or when you are mixing brands. It supports both charging paths: a fuse-box hardwire connection (fastest, and the tidiest result) or a 12V accessory socket. At 151 x 132.3 x 32.6 mm and 1 kg it hides neatly under a seat or in a boot side panel.
