Panasonic CGR-D08R 7.4V Camcorder Replacement Battery 1100mAh

Panasonic AG-DVC15 / AG-DVX100BE Series — 7.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery (CGR-D08R)

This is a 7.4V, 1100mAh Li-ion battery replacing OEM part numbers CGR-D08R, CGR-D120, and CGP-D08S. It fits the Panasonic AG-DVC15, AG-DVX100BE, AJ-PCS060G, and CGR-D08A/1B among other compatible models. Voltage and capacity match the OEM specification exactly.

• AG-DVC15 and DVX100BE series compatibility: These camcorders share the same 7.4V battery rail, physical form factor, and BMS handshake protocol. One battery fits both platforms without modification or adapters.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on a Panasonic camcorder body. The BMS accepted the cell, voltage held steady across the discharge curve, and no protection cutoff events were triggered under normal camcorder load.
• First-use cycle on camera body: Insert the battery and run a full charge from within the camcorder body or OEM charger before your first shoot. Panasonic's BMS maps the battery-remaining display to the cell's discharge curve during this initial cycle — skipping it produces inaccurate charge percentage readings on the LCD.

Why the AG-DVC15 shows a dead-battery indicator on a partially charged replacement cell

Panasonic camcorder BMS systems calibrate their fuel gauge against the discharge curve of the installed cell. A new replacement cell has not yet provided that calibration data to the camera. The body reads voltage at a threshold point that doesn't match its stored curve, and flags a low or dead battery even when the cell is at 70–80% charge. Run one complete charge-to-full cycle inside the camera or OEM charger. After that cycle, the gauge reads accurately against the actual cell curve.

Battery percentage jumping erratically on the camcorder LCD

This happens when the camera's voltage-threshold indicator maps incorrectly to the replacement cell's discharge curve. The OEM curve and the replacement curve don't align at key percentage checkpoints until the BMS has logged a full discharge cycle. It is not a cell defect. Charge the battery fully, run it down to the point the camera shuts off automatically, then charge fully again — after this cycle the percentage display stabilises at the correct value.
