So when it powers off, it goes into a sleep mode. That sleep mode doesn't require alot of power, but if you have it set to turn on if the camera detects vibrations, it uses the cars battery. Mine is plugged in all the time and it only powers on when I turn the car on or it feels vibrations. With the vibration setting, it will turn on when I open my car door. But if your power source isn't powered when the car shuts off, then it doesn't use any power, just what the camera has stored up. Hope that helps

However, without the a/c power cable, the display only stays on for seven seconds, and to get the display to come on, one has to press a button on the display console. Also, when running on batteries only, the unit will not maintain a wifi connection, so it won't reliably upload weather data to WeatherUnderground or other weather networks. 

The European Standard Type 2 charger is suitable for most electric vehicles in Europe and other countries because it meets the European Standard Type 2 standard. You need to determine if your vehicle is equipped with a Type 2 charging interface in order to use this charger.
