Compatible JVC Camcorder Battery

The Kastar BN-VC296G replaces JVC BN-VC264G and BN-VC296G cells in the GY-HC500 series and GY-HC550 series camcorders. It fits professional shooters who need a direct lithium-ion substitute for original equipment batteries.

Built-In Protection Circuit

Over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating safeguards are integrated into the pack. The cell meets UL1642 and CE safety standards, so the battery manages its own risk profile without external monitoring gear.

7.4V 10500mAh Capacity

Rated at 7.4 volts and 10500 milliampere-hours, the pack delivers extended run time for 4K handheld recording sessions. It is not suited for users who require hot-swap redundancy or multi-bay charging stations.

Questions about this item

How long before the BN-VC296G battery needs replacing?

The lithium-ion pack is rated at 10500 mAh and includes over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating protection to extend cycle life; typical Li-ion cells last several hundred full cycles before capacity drops noticeably.

What limits runtime during a long shoot with the BN-VC296G?

The 7.4 V 10500 mAh capacity (77.7 Wh) is the first limit — once the stored charge is used the camera stops, and the built-in protection circuit will cut power if voltage, current or temperature exceed safe thresholds.

Does the BN-VC296G get hot or noisy during all-day recording?

The battery has no moving parts so it is silent; the protection circuit guards against over-heating, and normal operation stays within the 7.4 V lithium-ion thermal envelope for the listed JVC GY-HC500 and GY-HC550 models.
