Where To Find Batteries For VHS,VHS-C,Hi8, And Mini DV Camcorders 

If you have the power adapter, you can also get a portable power supply with a ac outlet.

I use Kastar batteries in my old Powershot G2 and they are perfect and they got them to me quickly. I will probably continue to use them if I can find them for other old cameras I get as well

Cool old cams you got there

@Brandon Alldredge: I had a mid 80's VHS hitachi camcorder back in the year 2000 when I was aged 15. The camcorder was given to my brother during the mid 90s from our grandmother. It came with a 12v 1200mah battery pack but no original power supply or charger. The battery attached to the rear of the device not internal sliding, however where the battery fixed was a regular dc power jack and it did come with an aftermarket power supply which worked no issue. I made a makeshift power lead with a dc jack plug on one end and a pair of spade connectors on the other, using a 12v sealed lead acid battery of about 3amp hour allowed semi portable use. The camcorder rested on your shoulder as they did but the rather heavy battery had to go somewhere so I further created a backpack style battery bag and was all set. The camcorder was disposed of in early 2002 after it developed a fault which was already there before the battery mod. Under a side panel was several glass fuses rated at 500mah and one of them kept blowing frequently. No idea what the fuses protected.

I have a LXI by Porter Cable from Sears from year 1995. The battery is Rayovac RV-4088 and is 9.6v/1600 mAh on the battery. I need a charger and a battery. Will the 9.6 Sony fit??

good video bro!

I have a JVC Gr-60u But somewhere over the years the battery charger went missing. Any idea where I can find one? I have looked online and found some that may work but unfortunately I don't know the model number of the charger so I'm not sure if they will work with my battery.

With modern battery replacements, do the original chargers work? Initially I’m thinking no because they’re using all new chemistry, but no modern replacements claim to include a charger, I have a JVC GR C7E if that helps

sweet video! I've been on the hunt for a Hi8 camera battery and haven't been able to find any :/ I have a canon ES980 camcorder but the battery won't take the charge anymore

I bought the kastar slim camcorder batteries a while back and they seemed to die within 5 minutes, wasnt sure what was up with that

Yo brotha, I’ve had a JVC GR7U went to the battery king and a place called savingology but no dice. Any suggestions of where to find one?

just got a sharp vhs cam for cheap but the charger is my issue. it's a hard find online, have you ever restored one or know any weird tricks to jumpstart the charger back up?

I have a bit of battery PTSD after my Traxxas RC car exploded after charging when I was little. It had an old battery that wasn't touched in about 3 years. As a vintage PC collector I removed all the battery packs out of my laptops. I will say though I have my parents old Songs hi8 tape cam corder and I LOVE the 80s aesthetic it produces. I have an adaptor that lets it run from wall power but batteries I'm hesitant on using. Maybe I could invest in a large battery pack?

I don't know if I am just missing it, but I can't seem to find any slide on batteries for my VHS camcorder (RCA CC407) Could you help me? Because I don't think that the ones for the more recent RCA camcorders are compatible, but I can't tell because I don't have much experience in this field. (I also need a charger)

I actually found the equivalent for a Sony NP-F330 or such at Batteries+Bulbs.

I'm looking for a battery that goes to a solid state vhs camera. Any clues for me?

How do you remove the hs jvc old cam corder battery from the charger. Please answer asap

I have a jvc Gr-sxm240 , I’m looking for a good charger . Do you know any I should look out for ?

Im in need of those long vhs batteries that get inserted into the camcorder, I bought 2 new ones and both took 2 days to charge each and they only lasted 7 min while recording and if I recharge them I can hear them chirp and hiss like if gas is leaking out from them

Is there another option for the rca batteries they seem to be out of stock.

Found my grandmas old panasonic pv l453d and was wondering where to find the battery pack

hey man! i just bought a panasonic omnimovie PV330D, but the adopter that it came with doesn't work, and because of this i can't find a charger to charge the batteries. do you know where i could find either a new adopter or a charger for the battery? thanks!! i liked the video :)

Will the canon battery linked below work for my Canon Elura 65 because its a canon mini dv camcorder? I'm not exactly sure how to check...

where can i get battery packs for the GR-C7U

do companies usually stick with one format of batteries for every type of camcorders they have? like all panasonic miniDV camcorders could use all the same batteries togather?

Currently on the hunt for some InfoLithium NP F330's. My Hi8 Sony handycam is only accepting InfoLithiums unless i can find another solution

I need a Sony dcr trv22e battery any suggestions

I got a hold of an older Magnavox VHS (hand held) recorder. Looks like the included battery is dead. Is it worth it to convert it to Lithium ion? A replacement battery is around $35

Just purchased a Sears Roebuck Solid State VHS camcorder. It runs via the power chord, but I didn’t come with a battery. Scouring the internet for a battery bit reluctant to purchase before I know what I need. Any thoughts?

No dice amazon does not have them anymore.

What would I need to charge one of those “long stick” type batteries? Just got a Curtis Mathes VHS cam and it takes those batteries but i dont think it came with a charger or manual so im at a loss here 😱

You are such an awesome resource! I'm trying to find a battery for the Panasonic Palmcorder from when I was a kid (PV-20D, also labelled AF x8 Flying Erase Head -- manufacture year 1990). The battery it came with is a BP55/15XL 6.0V mickel metal hydride battery. It says on the battery that it is compatible with a lot of different brands of camcorders. Do you have any recommendations for where to look?

I picked up a PV 200D panasonic, for 25 bucks off marketplace. The batteries dont work, it works fine plugged in, I cant figure out how to get the autofocus working, but I need batteries for it. its a reall old model, 70s I think. You know what battery i'm talking about?

I have a Cannon V400. Because the charger is not working the battery is now dead. No amount of searching including Ebay and Amazon gas resulted in finding battery or charger.

Can I have a battery for jvc-dva1?

I mean Alibaba is the great place to buy. I’m an Asian so I mean our country is so close to china. eBay is great too !!! But sometime the shipping cost is too high.
