battery is for when your car is off, and it the unit goes into 'park mode'. any sudden bumps and g-force activates the unit using its battery and start recording. the unit needs to be plugged in at all times during normal driving, for it to record.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hey Kazoo, to answer your question I leave mine plugged in all the time. Similar to a gps it does have an internal battery that can operate if not plugged in but not sure how long it really lasts. I'm guessing not very long. However this Papago device does have a feature that if your car shakes or is hit by another vehicle while parked it will turn on by itself and record for 10 seconds using its internal battery. But to keep it simple leave it plugged in and hide the wires.
