Dual-plate USB charger for JVC camcorder batteries

The Kastar BN-VC296G charger accepts two JVC BN-VC264G or BN-VC296G batteries at once, so operators can replenish a spare while the other stays in the camcorder. Micro-USB and USB-C inputs draw up to 15 W from any 5 V 2-3 A source, and an LCD panel shows real-time capacity for each cell. No battery is included in the pack.

Replaces the original JVC AA-VC20 series

Moving from a one-bay desktop unit to this dual-bay travel charger lets a two-camera crew top up both packs between takes without hunting for a second wall outlet. The swap is worthwhile when shoot days regularly drain two batteries and a single AC adapter would create a charging bottleneck. It does not serve users who need simultaneous charging for three or more packs.

Delivers 8.4 V at 800 mA per bay for two Li-Ion

Each slot pushes a steady 800 mA, so a typical 264 or 296 series battery reaches full charge in a few hours while the LCD confirms progress. Headroom is adequate for overnight refresh of two packs, but the fixed 800 mA rate means larger-capacity cells will take proportionally longer. The charger cannot power the camcorder directly during operation.
