FAQs
Will this battery work with my 322GW model?
No, the NBDVR380BAT is exclusively designed for the Nextbase 380GW dash cam.
Do I need to charge the battery before first use?
It is recommended to insert the battery and allow the dash cam to charge it fully through the standard USB power connection before relying on it for Parking Mode.
Is this battery considered a long-term backup power source?
No, it is intended for short-term power management for Parking Mode features, not for recording video for hours without vehicle power.
What happens if the battery is not installed?
Your 380GW will function normally for recording while driving, but it will not support the advanced Parking Mode feature.
How do I know if the battery is faulty?
If the camera fails to maintain settings or shuts down immediately upon losing external power despite being charged, consider testing with a known working battery.
Troubleshooting
Dash cam does not enter Parking Mode
Verify that the battery pack is fully seated and that your vehicle is connected to a switched live power source.

Check that the battery pack is charged and correctly inserted; consult your vehicle's manual to ensure the power source is indeed a switched live fuse.
