Power supply
The Mini-batcorder can be powered using a powerbank and runtime can be
extended. Note that due to the low power consumption of the Mini-batcorder
some powerbanks will not turn on. They must be able to detect and run with
consumers drawing currents of below 25 mA. Also note that the capacities of
powerbanks usually are determined by consumers wit around 500 mA. Thus
the actual run times of the Mini-batcorder may be short than expected since
the power banks my not be designed for low power consumption.
When connecting the power bank, the batcorder may first draw more power
to charge the internal battery. Thus the power bank may work at first glance.
Yet, it may then shut down when the internal battery is charged and stay off.
So make sure you test a full battery cycle of the powerbank before relying on
it in the field or buying multiple powerbanks of the same model.
