What's Inside the Battery Makes the Difference

On the whole, JVC Camcorder compatible Li-Ion batteries provide longer battery life and don't suffer from the effects of "Battery Memory", which can lead to shorter battery life in NiMH or NiCad batteries. in fact, many JVC lithium battery packs are good for roughly 500 cycles from low-power to full charge.

Many JVC Camcorder battery packs are either Lithium Ion (Li-Ion), Nikel Cadmium (NiCad), or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH). The chemicals inside the battery determine a great deal about how it is charged and much battery life it will have.

Taking Care of your JVC Camcorder Batteries

When it comes to ensuring the long life of your JVC battery, always remember to protect the battery case itself. We all know that electronics can be fragile things, and we've seen how easily plastic cases can crack and break. If you are not careful with the battery pack and it's casing, it could lead to a malfunctioning battery or even personal injury from a cracked or leaking battery case. Protect the battery as you would your Camcorder. Try not to drop the battery on any tabletops or other objects and avoid dropping anything heavy on the battery. Water can also damage the battery. If for some reason the Camcorder or battery comes into contact with water, immediately remove it from the liquid, remove the battery from the and dry as much of the liquid from the device and battery as you can.

How to Safely Charge your JVC Battery

Camcorder batteries don't last forever. And they won't simply stop working one day either. Batteries slowly lose their ability to maintain a charge. If you are finding this to be the case with your's, it's time to take a moment and to see if it can be salvaged before buying a new one. If your battery pack is a Nickel-Metal Hydride Camcorder battery pack, it could be that it's just suffering from a Battery Memory Effect. This will often happen to a NiMH or NiCad battery when it was not entirely discharged enough every few weeks. The battery begins to "recall" the lower charge in stead of the top charge amount, so it fails to charge beyond the low point.

A good way to prevent your JVC Camcorder Ni-MH or NiCad battery from experiencing the "Memory Effect" is to drain your battery down to zero with no power adapter occasionally. When the battery is completely drained, fully charge it again. Doing this will help reset your JVC battery and should allow it to charge properly again.

But with newer Camcorder battery pack, and your battery life is lower than you expected, you may want to think about cycling it all the way up, then down to around 15% capacity one or two times. When you discharge the battery, turn off and unplug the JVC Camcorder and remove the battery. This should help sync up the electronics within the battery to the Camcorder power management controls. When this is completed, you should notice the JVC battery holding a charge a little longer. With a lithium ion battery pack, completely draining the battery will rarely fix the problem. Many lithium batteries are good for only about 2 to 3 years under normal use, so if by chance your current JVC battery is old enough to hit this timeframe, it may be an indication that it's time for a replacement battery.
