I have it plugged using a 12V cigarette input cable.
They do recommend hardwiring it to an accessory fuse (not the battery). To fully charge, it takes about 1 hr so it should be okay on the battery.
Bought mine for accidents. Mainly hit and runs.
I recommend getting the BlackVue DR650GW-2CH (front and back) + Cellink Battery B.
Very small, great quality, and the battery keeps it recording for 2-3 days while the car is off.
