What is the difference between an OEM camcorder battery and DuracellDirect's camcorder batteries?
Aftermarket Canon camcorder batteries are available on DuracellDirect.com as a direct replacement for your OEM
camcorder battery and will either meet or exceed OEM specifications. Our replacement camcorder battery products come
with a one year warranty, and meet many UL, CE, RoHS and FCC certifications. Aftermarket camcorder batteries are built
with new parts and technology and tend to have a longer battery life, higher durability and increased safety.
What different types of Canon camcorder batteries are there?
There are several different types of camcorder battery chemistries available: Li-Ion (Lithium Ion), Li-Poly (Lithium
Polymer), Ni-Cad (Nickel Cadmium), or NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride). Each camcorder battery type has advantages and
between one another that includes a longer battery life, faster charging, weight, size and stability. All four battery
chemistry types are universally compatible for each specific model.
Why do Canon camcorder batteries have different capacities?
Each camcorder battery will have a different capacity and is measured in “mAh” (milliampere-hour). There are different
factors that will affect battery capacities, which include capacity size, voltage, wattage, and battery chemistry type.
A camcorder battery with a higher capacity will have an increase in electrolyte and electrode material in the camcorder
battery cells. Larger camcorder battery capacities for your Canon video camera will always last longer than a battery
with lower capacity.
How long will my Canon video camera battery last?
You can expect a few hours of use from a full charged Canon video camera battery, but each Canon camcorder model
consumes power at different rates. Recharging your Canon camcorder battery takes about one to three hours to fully
charge, and is about 80% charged after the first hour. Total lifespan of a Canon camcorder battery is three years and
is capable of over 500 discharge / charge cycles.
Proper care for your Canon video camera battery will increase battery life and provide consistent power that can last
several hours.
