What this product is

This is a two-pack of Kastar BN-VC296G lithium-ion batteries rated at 7.4V and 10500mAh. They serve as direct replacements for JVC BN-VC264G and BN-VC296G packs used in the GY-HC500 and GY-HC550 Connected Cam 4K handheld camcorder series. The cells meet UL1642 and CE safety standards and include built-in protection against over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating.

What to check before ordering

Verify that your camcorder model appears in the compatible list: GY-HC500, GY-HC500E, GY-HC500U, GY-HC500UN, GY-HC500SPC, GY-HC500SPCN, GY-HC550, GY-HC550E or GY-HC550UN. Confirm that you charge with a JVC AA-VC20, AA-VC20E or AA-VC20U charger, as other chargers may not communicate correctly with the protection circuit. The pack contains two batteries measuring 3 by 2 by 2 inches each.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Videographers needing extended run-time for long-form 4K capture on the listed JVC camcorders will benefit from the high-capacity cells and dual-pack convenience. Buyers who require a different voltage, a smaller form factor, or compatibility with cameras outside the GY-HC500 and GY-HC550 families should look elsewhere.
