Canon 2740B002 BP-808 Lithium Ion Battery for FS10, FS11 & FS100 Camcorders Reviews
Most of us never shoot more than two hours of video anyway(which is battery life in middle quality mode, maybe be shorter in highest quality mode). My SLR's use the venerable 512 battery packs, fortunately somebody was able to reverse engineer those and sell them reasonably instead of the 80 plus dollars Canon wants for an original pack. Right after we bought the camcorder bestbuy started offering an outfit that included a second battery for what amounts to a bargain.unfortunately I missed out on that.
I love my FS100 it's a great camcorder, well worth what I paid for it but the battery packages are outrageously priced for it. I bought a third party charger, one of the new batteries I bought (I got two) will not charge on that unit but it does on the camera. You can find japanese versions of these batteries on ebay but they DO NOT HAVE THE ELECTRONICS in the pack so the camera cannot detect charge and they will not charge on the camera.so far only canon has this battery with all the electronics in it for sale.
I feel these batteries are way overpriced and canon needs to stop being quite so stuffy about licensing tech specs so others can sell stuff too.but they do work as advertised and do last as long as they are supposed to in everyday use. I own canon professional SLR's so I know from past experience Canon's policies about third party products that work with their stuff; they fight it tooth and nail and try to keep a monopoly on everything. Don't get me wrong, Canon makes good stuff they just have a really inflated view of what folks are able to pay for things if you ask me.
Thus, I lost about $60 on this purchase. I am very dissatisfied with this transaction. I ordered a battery for a cannon FS100. Since I had opened the package thinking it was the proper battery, I was unable to return it for a refund. The invoice for the battery I received indicated it was for an FS100 but was too big for my camera.
So, you have to have the spare battery.be sure to alternate. What can I say.you don't want to get caught without enough juice.
Just like the original in my FS100, and even came with a plastic snap-cover. It's great to have a spare battery and external charger.
