JVC BN-VF815U 1460-mAh Rechargeable Data Battery for JVC MiniDV and Camcorders

I shopped for a no name battery (to save $) but did not feel comfortable with them. Most use an exta little cable due to JVC chipset in the camera that is not needed with this battery. Battery is charged right on the camera like the original. I like that simplicity. I bought this for a vacation and while I did not use the camcorder endlessly I used it frequently through the course of the day. I never got a low bat indication so I'd say it lived up to its claims. It's the middle size which isn't obtrusive in any way though the bigger size might be in some situations- such as your camera case is a snug fit already. Also I just carry it in my pocket which is not particularly comfy but it is convenient. The bigger battery may have been a bit too much for that.

The JVC BN-VF815 provides engough power to shoot for about 2.5 hours, which is just about perfect when using 16mb SDHC cards in my JVC Everio GZ-HM200 Dual SD High-Def Camcorder (Black) in XP mode.The battery is somewhat larger (about 1/2") than the BN-VF808 that came with the camera and I have posted pictures to show the difference. It took roughly 2.25 hours for the battery to fully charge the first time.We now leave this battery connected to the camera and carry the BN-808 in the case, giving us a total of 4 hours or so of recording time!Highly recommended!

First time I've done a review, Figured it was necessary.The reason I purchased this battery is because it claims to be the genuine JVC battery. However the person/ co that amazon had send it to me sent me the generic no name battery.I was quite upset as you can find the generic battery for half price elsewhere. Called Amazon and they couldn't do a return but they worked with me on the price which made me happy however still annoyed that these people are out there ripping off others...

I bought this battery for my JVC GC-PX100 video camera. I attached it to the camera and began charging it, but it quickly indicated an error. I tried several times without success. I then purchased another battery from another vendor and I had the same issue. I decided to try an external battery charger. Here is the link to the charger I purchased. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014K9KDTY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1After using the new charger the battery charged and worked perfectly.

I've been trying to get your attention so I can return the battery because it is the wrong size for my jvc camcorder----------------Gary C Price please contact me asap

Bought a JVC Everio MS-100 recently and knew right away that I would need to purchase an additional battery. Batteries that are included with camcorders always have the lowest amount of record time. This 815US is slightly bulky but the way it attaches to the back of my MS-100 the bulk is not too much of a hindrance.I get about 3hrs of recording time using this battery on my new JVC camcorder. When I use this in combination with the included battery from my camcorder, I get about 5 hrs of battery life. That's plenty for me. Plus I'll use this as the main battery and the smaller one as the backup. I recommend this for anyone who plans on using their camcorder for an extended period of time.

I needed a second backup battery for my JVC GZ-HD7 system. Pretty quick charge via the camera AC adapter, holds the charge when dormant for a long time and reliable when recording. It does not get anywhere near the advertised recording time of 2.5 hours. It gets about one hour with LCD display and about 10 minutes more using the view finder. I seldom use the view finder unless the lighting is not good. Having two batteries is a good deal though. I'd buy the JVC AC charger but the price is outrageously priced.
