When connected from the cigarette lighter socket to the JNC600, will the computer memory be saved if the battery is disconnected?

Its a tough question as there are many variables. If the socket in your car is always on, then the JNC should provide power while the car battery is disconnected. However, you have jumper cables, Power down the car, use the jumper cables to attach to the car battery cables, disconnect the car battery, put a new battery in, and the car memory units should not notice the loss of the battery. Again, I am assuming we are talking about removing a car battery and wanting to keep the car electronics memory active. If you are talking about other things, you will need to be more clear.

Yes, as long as you are plug to the 12V and a card inside, it automatically records in 15 mins segments, saves and restarts new files. When the memory is full, it is programmed to over-write the oldiest files (looping). Another word, you can ride across the world many times, never need to charge and worry no juice and no memory.

Yes, it draws 15 MA when connected. It is not necessary to disconnect unless you have a small battery.Best Regards,EH

Should run off internal battery. Should be able to charge via USB / cigarette charger. Records to memory still.

Yes. Two small battery AAA only to keep the programs memory when it is not connected 12 VDC.

When the camera is connected to a computer, it is recognized on both sides as an external storage device.When the camera is hooked to a (3rd party?) USB charger it is probably doing auto-shut down, etc and no longer recieving a charge-that would be my guess. I think it is possible to turn off the auto shut down/power save feature, it's worth a try

Sorry, I can't answer this question. I have my unit powered by the cigarette lighter that comes on with the ignition. With the USB/lighter adapter supply plugged into the unit, the unit automatically powers down a few seconds after the power goes off. If the USB is not plugged in, It will continue to record, so it does have a battery. I have run it a few minutes on battery, but I never timed it.

yes, it should be left plugged into your cigarette lighter at all times. then when you turn the car on it starts recording, when you turn the car off it stops

yes!,suggest you disconnect negative battery terminal during storage to preserve life of the car battery. charge jumper pack to 100% and connect cables. charge battery pack every other month to keep it ready to go

The unit has a compartment for two button type batteries (supplied with the unit) that back up the memory if the power goes out. So the answer is: yes.

Yes and no. It depends on the car. If the car turns off the cigar lighter socket when the car is off, you should have no problem leaving it connected. If the car doesn't turn off the cigar lighter socket, then you could drain your battery if the gadgets plugged into the socket extender are left on.

Hi there! You can leave the battery in the camera while connected via USB to computer. Easy way to recharge....

Yes, if your car's cigarette outlet stays powered on when the car is powered off. The camera goes into a sleep mode where it only turns on when it detects motion to try and not drain your car battery. You can change the sensitivity of this feature. If your 12V outlet turns off with when your car turns off, then you will need to rewire the outlet a little or just wire the camera directly into the car's battery/fuse box. Another thing to note, my battery was getting old and alternator was apparently failing.... so leaving this plugged in without turning the car on for an entire weekend drained my battery to the point were the car would not start Monday morning. My boss was not pleased when I was late to work, trying to get a jump from my kind neighbor. Replacing the battery and alternator, I have not had this issue again. Just a warning, it does drain some power.

No, I wish mine retained memory after powering down. Sounds like you got a happy accident, memories are so fleeting.....

you will not lose the saved data..it has an memory feature that has an internal recharge battery sealed in unit.

Yes. I have been using mine like I use my laptop - just plug it back in no matter how much has been discharged.

If you have a 9-volt battery inside, it will retain the recording that is in memory. If you don't, and you disconnect from the DC power supply, you will lose whatever has been stored. I've been burned a couple of times though because my 9V battery didn't have enough charge to retain the recording, and I lost the recording when I disconnected the power supply. (This device is hard on 9V batteries.) Alas, it was never meant to be a permanent recording device, so it keeps me on my toes in terms of getting good at playing the initial loops.
