Two-pack BP-718 replacement batteries

This set supplies two Kastar BP-718 lithium-ion cells rated at 3.7 V and 1900 mAh each. They are built as direct replacements for Canon BP-709, BP-718 and BP-727 packs used in a long list of VIXIA and LEGRIA camcorders. The pair gives you a spare so recording can continue while the other cell recharges.

Capacity and runtime headroom

Each cell stores 7.1 Wh, which the manufacturer describes as high capacity for longer recording sessions. In practice the batteries handle extended handheld shooting and event coverage, but they will eventually run out during multi-hour 1080p capture without a recharge or a third cell.

Thermals, noise and power draw

Lithium-ion chemistry runs silently and produces minimal heat during normal camcorder use. Built-in protection circuits guard against over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating, keeping the cells stable across typical indoor and outdoor temperatures.

Questions about this item

Will the BP-718 3.7V 1900mAh pack run in my older VIXIA HF R30 and HF R32 camcorders alongside the original BP-709?

Yes, the BP-718 replaces the BP-709 and BP-727 cells and is listed for the HF R30, HF R32 and many later VIXIA and LEGRIA models.

How can I confirm each 7.1 Wh lithium-ion cell is charging and holding capacity correctly after the first few cycles?

The built-in protection circuit stops over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating; the camcorder battery gauge will show full charge and normal run-time when the cells are healthy.

Does the 2-pack include a CG-700 charger or must I buy that separately?

Only the two BP-718 batteries are in the box; a compatible Canon CG-700 charger is not included and must be purchased separately.
