OT - Dashcams have built-in or a separate low voltage cutout module, some on eBay as well. You can set the trip voltage to say 12.2V for leaving 40-50% capacity unless it's cold out.
I don't bother leaving the cam on because thieves trash the driver's side door to get in yet the cam faces forward, so not much point.

the better setups have 4 cams.
front, rear and facing out of each front door.
these side-cams have microphones and are intended for recording shit like interactions with police.

That must ruin the gas mileage, the alternator trying to charge an almost dead battery 24/7. If my batter on my diesel truck is near empty, it takes actually quite a bit of fuel and time until it’s full again. Even so it has an 160A alternator.

common,
i know a company that has half a dozen dead vans every monday morning because the cams run 24/7 through the weekend!
no, they arent smart enough to hook up a 12v feed to them while parked.
company managers are dumber than a sack of shit for the most part.

Desulfation only worked on pure lead batteries. And I made a desulfator based on discharging capacity to the battery. It helped a lot. But with the advent of Ca-Ca technology, desulfation of batteries only leads to damage to them.
