What is the difference between an OEM camcorder battery and DuracellDirect's camcorder batteries?
DuracellDirect carries replacement Hitachi camcorder batteries that will either meet or exceed OEM specifications. Each
battery is checked for quality, safety, and meets various certifications that include UL, CE, RoHS and FCC before
being sold to our customers. A full one year warranty also comes with our aftermarket Hitachi camcorder battery
products. Aftermarket camcorder batteries tend to have newer technology, parts, and quality built into the battery
packs, giving them an advantage over OEM batteries.
What different types of Hitachi camcorder batteries are there?
There are several different camcorder battery chemistry types for Hitachi camcorder batteries. The battery chemistry
types are Li-Ion (Lithium Ion), Ni-Cad (Nickel Cadmium) and NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride). There are advantages and
disadvantages between each battery type, such as longer life per charge, longer life cycle, compact size, light weight,
charge time, and battery stability. All four battery chemistry types are universally accepted as a replacement
camcorder battery.
Why do Hitachi camcorder batteries have different capacities?
Hitachi camcorder battery capacity is measured in “mAh” (milliampere-hour) and is different between each Hitachi
camcorder model. Camcorders that require more power to run require a battery with a higher mAh rating. Factors that
affect battery capacity mAh are size, voltage, wattage, and battery chemistry type. A higher mAh would indicate more
electrolyte and electrode material in the battery cells and would make up a larger battery pack with a longer runtime.
Hitachi camcorders with a larger battery capacity will always last longer than a smaller battery capacity.
How long will my Hitachi video camera battery last?

be reached. The lifespan of your Hitachi video camera battery is around three years and can be charged / discharged
over 500 times.
