Compatible Canon Camcorders

This Cameron & Co DS-CS-BP718MC lithium-ion battery replaces the Canon BP-718 for a wide range of Legria and Vixia models. Supported camcorders include the HF M56, HF R36, HF R37, HF R38, HF R306, HF M50, HF M500, HF M506, HF M52, HF R30, HF R300, HF R32 and HF R800. It is a direct 100 percent OEM-compatible power source for those devices.

Power and Runtime

The cell delivers a nominal 3.6 volts and a capacity of 1.6 ampere-hours, yielding 5.76 watt-hours of energy. Lithium-ion chemistry provides stable voltage throughout the discharge cycle with no memory effect. Normal use sees low self-discharge and minimal heat generation, keeping the camcorder running quietly without a cooling fan.

Upgrade from Lower-Capacity Packs

Users moving from the standard BP-718 or older lower-capacity packs gain additional recording time per charge. The jump is worthwhile for event videographers, travel shooters or anyone capturing long sessions without access to mains power. It does not serve cameras outside the listed Legria and Vixia families.

Questions about this item

How do I insert the DS-CS-BP718MC into my Canon Legria HF R36, and which way do the contacts face?

Slide the battery into the compartment with the gold contacts facing the camera body until the latch clicks; the 40.10 x 30.30 x 25.00 mm case only fits one way.

When will the 1.6 Ah Li-ion cell need replacing, and what signs should I watch for?

Expect 300–500 full cycles; replace when run-time drops below half of the original 5.76 Wh or the pack swells.

How long can I record continuously on the VIXIA HF R800 before the 3.6 V pack hits its thermal limit?

Typical load draws 2–3 W, so the 5.76 Wh capacity gives roughly two to three hours before voltage sag or heat stops recording.
