Ni-Cad (Nickel Cadmium), and Li-Ion (Lithium Ion). The differences between each type include: weight, stability, longer
life span, longer use per charge. These differences are minor though, and each type is guaranteed to work exceptionally
well in your Sony video camera battery. All four chemical types are used worldwide in the creation of camcorder batteries.
Why do Sony camcorder batteries have different capacities?
Camcorder batteries have different capacities because of the cells used within them. There are many other reasons for
the varying capacities though, including voltage, wattage, cell size, and number of cells. Video camera batteries
having higher capacities are usually the result of the cells having more electrolyte and electrode materials. Typically,
larger batteries will last longer than smaller batteries, assuming that they are of the same chemical type.
Customers can see the measured capacity on their camcorder battery, listed under “mAh” (milliampere-hour).
