How to take care of your camcorder batteries     Lenovo Coupons

There are three kinds of camcorder batteries. The three classes are Lead-Acid, Lithium-Ion and all others (Nicad, Nickel Metal Hydride (Zero Memory), etc.) You are basically stuck with the type your camera is designed and supplied with.

Camcorder Batteries for most models of camcorder

Camcorder batteries are specifically designed for each camcorder brand and model. Global-ecommerce-batteries.com offers a complete line of camcorder batteries and compatible replacements for most camcorders, such as JVC, CANON, Sony, Panasonic and more.All our camcorder batteries must pass stringent quality control tests that ensure they will work with your camcorder. That’s why we guarantee our camcorder batteries for 1 year – and why we offer a 30-day money-back refund on every camcorder battery we sell.

Because of the lack of information on Lithium Ion in regards specifically to camcorder batteries, this article will only adress the more popular Nicad,Nickel Metal Hydride and Lead acid types. When more data is available it will be posted. Please check back occasionally.

The easiest and most reliable battery is the Lead-Acid variety. This battery is basically the same as the one in your car and requires the same treatment. Always keep it fully charged! There is no need for discharging prior to recharge. Most chargers continue to charge after charge lights extinguish. Occasionally batteries may need to spend up to 24 hours on a charger to regain a maximum charge. There is no need to fear overcharging as chargers as usually contain safety circuitry to prevent excess heat buildup. Also most batteries are internally thermally fused to prevent meltdown and acid leakage.

NiCad or Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries require more attention than Lead-Acid. These are the same batteries found in cordless phones. These batteries need to be fully discharged after use to promote long life. Do not short or drain to a 0 volts condition as this may damage the pack. Usually running a camera until it powers down from low battery a couple times will sufficiently drain a NiCad. A full charge cycle with extra time overnight if possible will allow a trickle charge to complete charging. Always store these units in a discharged condition and charge before use. A battery that has developed a shortened run time is said to have developed a memory. This is caused by a buildup in the battery that shorts around or bypasses storage area inside the battery. Repeated discharge and recharge cycles can in some cases return battery volume.
Always remember that a deeply used or discharged battery may need more than one trip on charger. Also, chargers will run for a set period of time or until a certain level of heat is obtained. After this high charge cycle a continuing trickle charge cycle will slowly ‘top off’ the battery to its full potential.

In addition to this, there are different manufactures cells that are used to make Nicad or Nickel Metal Hydride camcorder batteries. The cells will vary from Sanyo, Panasonic,(Everedy)Energizer, Duracell,Toshiba and various other manufactures in china. The batteries quality will differ from manufacture to manufacture but it may not be realized until the end of its life cycle. In other words you should not be able to tell the difference between brands unless the battery pack is either old or used. An important thing to be aware of is that some places will sell you a battery pack that is already 2 or 3 years old. You should ask when the pack was manufactured (Within reason. Approx. 2~3 months) because age will effect performance and longevity. A typical consumer averages about 1~2 years on a camcorder battery and yes you should be taking the batteries out of the camcorder when not in use.

Reduce the power supply output voltage 0.5V is not an easy thing, series resistance does not work, because the resistance of the voltage will change with the current size. I use silicon rectifier diodes, to allow more than through the current in the 2A, or hot tube. Silicon Rectifier diode forward voltage drop between 0.7 to 0.5V, just to meet the requirements. Now a plenty of such tubes in the electronics market, price less than 2 yuan. To a different book on the specific situation may be different, the best time to install a digital multimeter Cece hand. Pipe is being connected serially in the power output, and still harder to buy a power plug inserted himself in the notebook. Diode which is not reversed, the book does not work it wants, and then in turn connected on it.

In this way, the power output voltage drop is about 0.5V, if the drop too much, the book will switch to battery, if the drop too low, the book will charge the battery, the specific number to you in your own notebook tried to know.

Of course, if your battery is full, this circuit is not necessary, you can not have it connected directly to the power output can be had on the books.

This point, the two issues mentioned at the beginning resolved. It is up to you test results, and estimated book on different results may be different, it is best to first try to take a circuit, so that took 10 innocent money

Finally I wish you good luck! Good use of your Lithium now!

Special Reminder: HITACHI Camcorder Battery PANASONIC Camcorder Battery

In the modified plug when the mistake is most likely to engage in anti-polar (diodes engage in anti-polarity does not matter), so you must double-check, measured with a multimeter, with different colors of wires to connect the positive and negative. I do not know engage in anti-polarity power supply will not burn the books, did not try!

Mentioned above, the lithium battery, the battery in the end points of several books then? We take a look at the general books batteries into nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel hydrogen batteries, lithium batteries of three. Nickel-chromium batteries, since batteries are bulky, heavy weight, small capacity, short life, there are disadvantages such as memory effect has been abandoned the market. Two kinds of lithium and nickel-hydrogen present to the market mainstream, which lithium is small, light weight, large capacity, low memory effect, charging time and short, is that large businesses use. Lithium has two types, one is lithium, the other is lithium ion battery. Lithium problems such as burning, bursting insecurity, was suspended.

Subsequently, after the improved lithium-ion battery, comply with the safe, efficient, convenient standard, and a market-driven, the time of purchase as long as the Note: Li-ion, the sign on it. The nickel-hydrogen batteries, it can be said is in line with the recent advocacy of environmental topics, and this mainly proud of its recycling features in! But there are also shortcomings, such as the charge time is long, weight, capacity, and small defects than lithium. However, the more charge cycles than lithium-ion battery from 400 to 600 times the mean, Ni-MH battery high record of 1200 is very tempting! In fact, the books also determines the price of the battery price books, if we can know the origin of the battery case, price is favorable for the Hom! Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan have produced books in the battery , especially Japan, mostly alone in Taiwan Province on the price of the battery is relatively cheap, the quality of Japan, South Korea is better! Capacity, the unit is mA / pm, recorded as: mAh, mA / time when the leading books of life, of course, the larger the number the better! 4000mah can support 4 hours of flying time, and with long life time known Matsushita Electric, has more than 4500mah battery capacity, should pay more attention to buy!

Among the vast amount of camcorders like Sony camcorder, Cannon camcorder, Panasonic camcorder, Hitachi camcorder, Flip video camcorder, and some types of JVC camcorder which record videos in AVCHD, MOD or MP4 files, TOD files recorded by JVC Everio series camcorder like GZ-HD7, GZ-HD3, GZ-HD30 are probably the most ones to be recognized by most video players or application only because of particularity of TOD file (a special MPEG format).
