Compatible Canon camcorder battery

The Kastar BP-718 is a 3.7 V lithium-ion cell rated at 1900 mAh and 7.1 Wh. It replaces Canon BP-709, BP-718 and BP-727 packs and fits a long list of VIXIA and LEGRIA models from the HF R30 through HF R800 series. The single-pack unit is sold new and carries UL1642 and CE safety marks.

Charging limited to Canon CG-700

Recharging is only supported through the Canon CG-700 charger or the camcorder's own charging circuit. No USB, wall-plate or third-party dock is listed as compatible, so users must keep the original charger or an equivalent CG-700 unit available. Over-charge, over-discharge and thermal protection circuits are built into the pack itself.

Capacity suits typical recording sessions

At 1900 mAh the cell delivers enough power for extended handheld recording on the supported camcorders. Run-time will fall off during continuous high-bitrate capture or in cold conditions, and the single battery offers no redundancy for all-day shoots without a spare.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1900mAh BP-718 or the 709 and 727 alternatives?

The BP-718 provides 1900mAh and 7.1Wh at 3.7V; the BP-709 and BP-727 are also listed as compatible replacements, so pick the capacity that matches your original battery label.

What does the 7.1Wh rating mean for actual recording time on my camcorder?

At 3.7V the cell stores 7.1Wh, which translates to roughly 1900mAh; real recording time depends on the camcorder's power draw, screen brightness and codec, but it matches the original Canon BP-718 spec.

Does the built-in protection circuit limit charging on a Canon CG-700 charger?

The battery includes over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating protection and is listed as compatible with the Canon CG-700 charger, so it charges normally on that unit.
