external battery 5v 2.4a can use?

[choijaewuk]

on riding i want to use g3 with 5v 2.4a external battery charger
can use? any damage or threat on g3?
i want to use this model AUKEY 5000

Shouldn't be a problem with skeleton case or sawing a side opening in the original case. I can't recommend the bare camera for any kind of action sport.

As I understand it, the G3 can be used as a dashcam so this would involve long-term external power.

This gives me an idea. Using Quick Capture the cam will run all day on a battery. But anything that requires remote monitoring for aiming, like a boom, only lasts about 2 hrs. Instead of buying more batteries I may just use my USB power bank. Thanks.

i agree with you opinion but the main question is that AUKEY 5000 can be used for g3. i already buy this model .
after i get the g3 camera and read the manual about charging the battery part .
note
Note: Using wall chargers marked: output 5V 1A. If you don’t know the
voltage and current of your charger, use the included USB cable to
charge the camera from your computer or a power bank.

this mean that i should use the included usb cable to any use bank such as AUKEY 5000 5v 2.4a model?

Ah, I see your point. I just re-read the manual and I would NOT use a 2.4 Amp charger... which I have been doing!

Thank you!

It looks like the Aukey only has a 2 amp output, which is too high for the G3.

I don't think any USB cable will reduce the amperage.

My WinPlus jump pack (from Costco) has both 2.4 and 1.0 amp outputs. But it is much larger than the Aukey.

hi i refund aukey model .
another product Allpower 3400 model is 5V1A..?right?output 5V1A ..?

With battery pack Am output, its always maximum draw,

if you have a device that only needs 0.5A, then it will only draw 0.5A and charge slowly
If you have a device that NEEDS 1A or 2A to charge , then a battery pack that provides 1A or 2A will be able to charge it but a pack that only does 0.5A wont very well.
Same goes for cigarette lighter 12V chargers

I use a 2A battery pack all the time.
Aukey is a good brand....

5v 2.4a or 5v 2a battery
it mean no damage on gitup g3 duo fov90?

 

[Alistair Parsons]

Thats right, current rating is maximum draw, think of it like bridge height clearence. its the maximum that can go through, so for tablets and similar that want a high current to charge correctly, 0.5A power banks may not be enough.

High voltage is where you could have a problem..

a 2A power bank means theoretically you could charge 4 Git3s at once using a usb hub...
