Centenex Electronics BP-950G Li-ion Battery 5.2 Ah Black

SKU CH-R9Y4-D46M2

High-capacity 5.2 Ah lithium-ion replacement battery for a wide range of Canon camcorders

  • Product typeAccessory
  • High capacity 5.2 Ah powers extended shoots
  • Li-ion chemistry delivers reliable rechargeable performance
  • Broad Canon camcorder compatibility covers legacy models
  • Replaces original BP-950G and BP-945 packs
  • Black finish matches professional equipment aesthetics

Compatible Canon Camcorders

This lithium-ion battery replaces the Canon BP-950G and fits a long list of Canon camcorders including the GL2, XL2, XH-A1, Optura and many ES, MV, UC and DM series models. It is intended for videographers who need a reliable spare or replacement power source for older Canon MiniDV and Hi8 camcorders.

Thermals Noise Power

The pack uses standard lithium-ion chemistry and produces no audible noise during operation. Normal use generates only modest warmth consistent with typical camcorder batteries. Power draw depends entirely on the connected camcorder and its recording mode.

Capacity 5.2 Ah

The single specification that determines suitability is the rated capacity of 5.2 Ah, which is higher than the original BP-950G and BP-945 packs. Buyers who need a lower-profile battery for tight rigs or who require a different voltage should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Centenex BP-950G battery into my Canon XL2, and what step is often missed?

Slide the battery into the compartment until the latch clicks; the step often missed is pressing the release button fully before pulling the battery out for the first charge.

What maintenance will the 5.2 Ah Li-ion pack need over its life?

Store at roughly half charge if unused for weeks, keep contacts clean, and expect capacity to fade after several hundred full cycles.

What limit appears first during a long shoot with this 5.2 Ah battery?

The 5.2 Ah capacity sets the runtime ceiling; sustained high-draw recording will hit that limit before temperature becomes an issue.
