4.2 Ah Ni-MH battery for Panasonic camcorders

This 4.2 Ah nickel-metal hydride cell replaces the Panasonic PV-BP18 and a long list of BN-V, HHR-V, P-V and PV-BP part numbers. It is intended for owners of compatible Panasonic camcorders who need a fresh power source. Buyers whose camera uses a different contact layout or a lithium-ion pack cannot use this battery.

Thermals noise and power draw

Ni-MH chemistry runs cool during typical recording sessions and produces no audible noise. The pack delivers its rated 4.2 Ah capacity without active cooling or external power circuitry. No power-draw figures are supplied for specific camcorder models.

Compatible part-number list

The label cross-references more than forty Panasonic and Duracell part numbers including PV-BP15 PV-BP17 PV-BP19 PV-BP21 PV-BP22 PV-BP31 PV-BP32 PV-BP40 PV-BP41 BN-V11U BN-V12U BN-V14U BN-V18U BN-V20U BN-V22U BN-V24U BN-V25U BN-V400U BN-V50U HHR-V20A/1B HHR-V214 HHR-V214A/K HHR-V40A/1B HHR-V60A and several P-V and VW-V models. The supplier notes that contact positions differ on some Duracell DR10 DR11 DR11u and LSSB references so buyers must verify the contact pattern before fitting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Centenex BAPANAPVBP18-Thick battery and avoid the contact-mismatch issue?

Slide the pack into the camera's battery compartment until it clicks; verify that the three contact strips on one side and two on the other align with your model's terminals, as some Panasonic and Duracell variants use a different layout.

What maintenance will this 4.2 Ah Ni-MH battery need over time?

Expect to recharge after each shoot; every few months run a full discharge-charge cycle to reduce memory effect, and replace the pack once runtime drops below roughly half of its original capacity.

What limit appears first during continuous recording with this pack?

The 4.2 Ah capacity sets the runtime ceiling; under sustained draw the voltage will sag to the camera's cut-off threshold before thermal limits become a factor.
