Bloc Power B3 dash cam battery pack, 12,000mAh

Bloc Power is a dedicated power solution that extends your dash cam's parking mode recording without touching your vehicle's battery. It delivers clean, stable power overnight, protecting battery health and ensuring your dash cam records reliably when parked.

Features

  • High-capacity LiFePO4 battery: 12,000mAh / 153.6Wh
  • Approx. 50 hours run time with a 1-channel dash cam, 32 hours with a 2-channel dash cam
  • Fast charging whilst driving
  • Extended dash cam parking mode recording
  • 1.65-inch LCD status display
  • Adjustable power timer
  • 2 x USB-A fast-charging ports (up to 20W)
  • 1 x USB-C PD fast-charging port (up to 45W)
  • Built-in LED torch and emergency light

When the engine is running, the ACC power source charges the B3 and your dash cam simultaneously. When the ignition is switched off, ACC power stops and the B3 takes over automatically, keeping your dash cam running without any user input. An intelligent voltage detection system monitors engine status in real time, enabling seamless switching between driving and parking modes.

In a conventional installation where the dash cam draws directly from the vehicle's battery, parking mode recording is typically limited to one to three hours — rarely enough for overnight protection. The B3 removes that limitation whilst also reducing the risk of interference with sensitive onboard electronics, including the ECU, thanks to its isolated power architecture.

How a Bloc Power battery works

With the B3 in your system, parking mode run time is significantly extended and your vehicle's battery remains untouched. This supports reliable engine starts and helps preserve long-term battery health. Installation is simpler than traditional hardwiring, with improved control and power management throughout.

Bloc Power battery run time

The B3 powers your dash cam in parking mode for up to 50 hours. If you need a smaller unit, the Bloc Power B2 offers up to 35 hours from its 8,000mAh capacity. Actual run times vary depending on dash cam model, number of channels, and user settings.

Expansion

The B3 supports expandable power for greater parking mode coverage. A second battery pack can be connected to increase total capacity and recording time, with a maximum of two batteries linked. The B2 can be combined within the same setup. The optional Bloc Power Expansion Cable is required to connect two units.

About the BLOC Power B3

From our tech experts at CEN

The Bloc Power B3 is a 12,000mAh (153.6Wh) LiFePO4 battery pack that powers your dash cam's parking mode for up to 50 hours (1-channel) or 32 hours (2-channel), without draining your vehicle's battery. It charges while you drive and switches to the dash cam automatically when the ignition is turned off.

Who it suits

The B3 suits drivers who park overnight or in high-risk areas and need reliable extended parking mode coverage. Those using a 2-channel dash cam will benefit from the 32-hour runtime. Drivers with lighter needs may prefer the Bloc Power B2, which offers up to 35 hours from 8,000mAh.

Our tech experts advise

The B3 operates between 0°C and 45°C, so choose a fitting location away from heat sources. Up to two batteries can be linked with the optional expansion cable for greater capacity. The box includes both a hardwire cable and a cigarette lighter adapter, giving flexible installation options. Browse the full BLOC Power range for expansion cables and compatible accessories.

A: Yes. CEN offers professional dash cam and accessory installation from our Nottingham premises. Contact us to book.

Q: How long will the BLOC POWER B3 run my dash cam in parking mode?

A: Approximately 50 hours with a single-channel dash cam and around 32 hours with a 2-channel system. Actual run time depends on the dash cam model, number of channels and settings.

Q: Can I connect a second battery to the B3?
