If it keeps charging then the car's battery will eventually go flat. This kinda defeats the whole purpose of an extra battery...
I have the blackvue one. For some reason with the car off the battery is still being charged. I'm not sure if it'll stop if it's fully charged, I doubt it will since the lights on the pack stay on after being fully charged. I thought the 12V outlets wouldn't provide power when the car is off but they do unfortunately. I just unplug it after shutting the car down.
