Poineer avic-f90bt & Fit's battery

Did anyone with avic-f90bt installed on the Fit watch any DVD movie with the car not running and start the car with no problem afterward? I am thinking about the HU. But when I look at the tiny OEM battery, I just have a bad feeling......

If you have amplifiers as well, then plan to start the car off and on, maybe even just leave the car running. If you have just the HU, then start the car every so often.

you shouldn't do that anyway unless you have a deep cycle battery. if you want to watch dvd's in your car in your garage, put a charger on the battery. even if it's 2A, it will be much better than zero. and just keep it charged over night.

regular batteries will develop memory and prematurely wear out if you keep draining it.

Not many people watch DVD in their garage plugging in a battery charger. Currently there is no after market deep cycle battery available for GE Fit. It really sucks if I decide to get the AVIC F90-BT.......
