RCA Camcorder Battery Not Charging



RCA CC6364 Camcorder BatteryIf you are finding it difficult getting a full charge on a set of RCA Camcorder batteries, it might be time to shop for a new one. However, before looking for a new battery pack, look over your current one to see if the problems can be resolved.

If your battery is a Ni-MH, or Nickel-Metal Hydride Camcorder battery pack, there is a chance it is simply suffering from Battery Memory Effect. This is caused by a battery that has not been given a chance to completely drain once or twice every few weeks. This can often cause a battery to "remember" the lowest level of charge as a new top-charge, so the battery will fail to charge above the new point.

A good way to prevent your RCA Camcorder Ni-MH or NiCad battery from experiencing this "Memory Effect" would be to gradually discharge the battery without the power adapter once every few weeks. When the battery is completely drained, apply a full charge to it again. This will help reset your RCA battery pack and will hopefully help it to completely charge again. However, if you have a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) RCA Camcorder battery, completely discharging your battery pack will most likely not help. Many Lithium battery packs are only good for 2-3 years under normal use, so if by chance your existing RCA battery pack is approaching 2 to 3 years old, it may simply be time for a new one.

What to do with a New RCA Battery that Doesn't Work

There's nothing worse than buying a new gadget only to find that the battery isn't holding up like you thought it should. If you have a newer Camcorder, and the battery isn't holding a charge like you think it should, you may need to cycle the battery up and then down to nearly 20% once or twice. Each time you cycle it, power down and unplug the RCA Camcorder and take the battery out of the device. This should synchronize the power manager within the battery to the Camcorder battery management controls. If successful, you should see your RCA battery holding a charge a little longer.

How does an RCA Camcorder Battery Work

Many RCA Camcorder batteries 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 how long it lasts. For the most part, RCA 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 RCA lithium battery packs can last up to roughly 500 cycles from low-power to full charge.

How to Maintain your RCA Camcorder Battery

Many people have an idea of how to extend the life of their RCA Camcorder battery packs. But it's also important to care for the actual structure of the batteries as well. Just like the internals of your Camcorder, the battery can be damaged if not handled properly. Damaging the battery can result in a RCA non-working battery or maybe even injury from the a cracked or damaged battery housing.

So it's always a good idea to handle your RCA batteries as gently as your Camcorder itself. Try to avoid any sudden collisions with desktops or other surfaces as well as dropping heavy objects on the battery pack.

Like any other electronics, battery packs can be easily damaged by water. If for some reason the Camcorder or battery becomes submerged in water, immediately remove it from the liquid, disconnect the battery from the and dry the visible water as much as possible.Each battery pack available on our website has been built to meet or exceed a strong set of standards established by the manufacturer, and we can back that up with our full 45 Day money back guarantee, as well as a full one-year warranty.
