Replacement pack for Canon camcorders

This pack contains one Kastar BP-208 lithium-ion battery and one AC wall charger. The battery delivers 7.4 volts and 1300 milliampere-hours for a total energy of 9.62 watt-hours. The charger accepts 100 to 240 volts AC input and supplies 8.4 volts DC at 600 milliamps. A foldable flat plug makes the charger compact for storage.

Who this suits and who it does not

Owners of listed Canon models such as the Optura S1, VIXIA HR10, and DC-series camcorders from DC10 through DC230 can use this as a direct replacement. Users whose camcorder requires a different battery form factor or voltage should look at other options. Buyers needing multiple batteries for extended shoots will need additional packs.

Deciding specification

The battery voltage is 7.4 volts and the capacity is 1300 milliampere-hours. The charger output is fixed at 8.4 volts DC and 600 milliamps. Match these figures to the original Canon BP-208 specification printed on your camcorder or in its manual.

Questions about this item

How do I install the BP-208 battery and AC charger, and what step is often missed?

Insert the BP-208 pack into the camera until it clicks, then plug the charger’s foldable flat pins into a 100-240 V AC outlet; the step often missed is waiting for the LED to turn green before first use.

What maintenance will the 1300 mAh 7.4 V Li-Ion cell need later?

The 9.62 Wh cell will gradually hold less charge; plan to replace it when run-time drops noticeably below the original level.

What limit appears first during sustained charging of the BP-208?

The charger’s 600 mA output caps the charge current, so a full charge takes longer than with higher-current units.
