Replacement BP-U30 for Sony XDCAM EX
The Cameron Sino BP-U30 is a 14.8 V 2600 mAh lithium-ion battery built for Sony professional camcorders including the PMW-EX1, PMW-EX3, PMW-F3, PXW-FS5 and PXW-FS7. It matches the original BP-U30 form factor at 69.70 x 45.10 x 41.50 mm and weighs 211.0 g. A fully decoded chip reports remaining capacity to the camera menu exactly like the OEM pack.
Upgrade from depleted OEM packs
When an original BP-U30 no longer holds a full day’s charge, this 38.48 Wh replacement restores runtime without changing chargers or workflow. The jump is worth it if your current pack drops below 80 % capacity or triggers early low-battery warnings during long shoots. It is not for operators who need higher-capacity BP-U60 or BP-U90 bricks for extended runtimes.
Simple swap, watch connector alignment
The battery slides into the camera’s native slot and clicks home; no tools or firmware updates are required. Most issues come from forcing the connector before the guide rails engage, which can bend pins. Charge fully twice before critical use to calibrate the fuel gauge. Avoid low-quality third-party chargers — they can shorten cycle life.

Questions about this item
Will the 69.70 x 45.10 x 41.50 mm pack fit the BP-U30 slot on my PMW-EX3?
Yes, those are the exact dimensions of the BP-U30 form factor used by the PMW-EX3 and the other listed Sony models.
What is the installation step users most often miss when fitting this 14.8 V battery?
Fully seat the connector until it clicks; a partially inserted plug will prevent the camera from recognising the decoded chip.
How should I maintain the 2600 mAh capacity over time?
Run two or three full charge and discharge cycles when new, avoid storing above 60 °C, and recharge every few months if unused.
