Post by: firmdragon on January 17, 2005, 05:51:05 PM

Need to get a new battery for my cam.  How do these fare against the Sony made ones.

i bought a 6 hour battery for my dv cam for around $15 on ebay, i've never fully tested it out, but its lasted through every show i've ever needed it for.

Got a couple of bigass generic li-ion batteries off Ebay for dirt cheap for my JVC.   They were only 15 bucks or so each at 3500 mah.   No problems at all with them so far.

Very glad I checked Ebay before opening the Energizer one I bought at "half price" for 35 bucks which was only 1600 mah....returned to store shortly after ;p

Hey Chris-

Got a seller name for those 3500mah JVC batteries?  I opened the 1600mah one I bought.  Oh, well, always good to have an extra.

Thanks.
