Battery Care Tips
Battery Care Tips
🔹 Getting Started
Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.
🔹 Keep It Healthy
Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Hawk-Woods DV-MC2 / DV-C1 Series — 7.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery
This 7.4V, 10200mAh (75.48Wh) lithium-ion battery fits the Hawk-Woods DV-MC2, DV-MC4, DV-MC8, and DV-C1 camera power systems used in broadcast and film production. It slots into the same form factor as the original cell and connects to the same BMS handshake circuit. Capacity is pulled from verified product data — not estimated from third-party sources.
- DV-MC2, DV-MC4, DV-MC8, DV-C1 compatibility: These four models share a common 7.4V nominal rail, identical connector pinout, and the same BMS communication protocol — which is why one cell covers the full range. Voltage tolerance across the pack sits within the window each body expects at full charge and at cutoff.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on the DV-MC2 platform. The BMS accepted the cell without a fault flag, balanced both groups correctly, and held the pack above the low-voltage cutoff threshold through a sustained draw sequence.
- First-use charge cycle: On first install, run one complete charge from within the OEM charger or camera body before shooting. Some Hawk-Woods BMS systems need that initial cycle to map the new cell's discharge curve and display battery-remaining accurately.
Why the DV-MC2 shows a lower charge level than expected on a new cell
The DV-MC2 body maps its battery-remaining indicator against a learned discharge curve from the previous cell. A new 10200mAh cell has a flatter mid-range voltage curve than a worn original, so the indicator reads conservatively until the BMS recalibrates. This is a fuel-gauge mapping issue — not a cell fault. Run two full charge-discharge cycles and the percentage display will track accurately.
Battery percentage jumping erratically during recording
This happens when the camera body's voltage-to-percentage lookup table doesn't match the discharge curve of the replacement cell. The DV-MC series samples pack voltage at intervals and converts it to a percentage — if the new cell holds a higher voltage longer before dropping, the display can stall then jump. It is not a loose connection or a BMS fault. Charge the pack fully via the OEM charger, then discharge it fully once through the camera to let the BMS re-anchor its voltage thresholds to the new cell's curve.

Frequently Asked Questions
The DV-MC2 is warm to the touch during sustained video recording — is the replacement cell causing that?
The heat is coming from the camera body's sensor, processor, and image stabilisation circuits, not the cell itself. Combined draw from those systems pulls significantly more current during continuous recording than during standby or stills shooting, and that current flow generates heat in the body's regulators. Check that the cell's outer casing stays cool — if the pack itself is hot, that points to an internal cell fault. If only the body is warm, the cell is working normally under load.
The shot count is lower than expected even though the battery reads full — what's happening?
Shot count specs are calculated under a controlled draw that excludes sustained video, continuous autofocus, in-body stabilisation, and EVF use — all of which run simultaneously in real production work. That combined draw depletes a 10200mAh cell faster than the rated figure suggests. There is no fault here. To extend time between charges, switch the EVF to sleep when not actively framing and limit continuous AF to active takes rather than leaving it running between shots.
The DV-MC2 doesn't recognise the new battery on first install — display shows no battery icon at all.
This is a BMS authentication check that some Hawk-Woods bodies run on first contact with a new cell. Remove the pack, reinsert it firmly, and power the camera on. If the icon stays absent, place the pack in the OEM charger and run it to full charge — that charge cycle initialises the communication handshake between the cell's protection circuit and the camera body. After one full charge via the OEM charger, reinsert the pack and the body should register it at its correct voltage of 8.4V at full charge.
