Panasonic CGR-D210 Replacement Battery 7.4V 2200mAh

Panasonic AG-DVC15 / AG-DVC32 Series — 7.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery (CGR-D210)

This 7.4V, 2200mAh Li-ion battery replaces the CGR-D210, CGR-D220, and CGP-D16S cells used in Panasonic DV camcorders. It fits the AG-DVC15, AG-DVC32, AG-DVC60, AG-DVC62, and over 49 additional models in the same series. The connector and BMS communication protocol match the OEM specification for these camcorder bodies.

• AG-DVC series compatibility: The DVC15 through DVC62 models share the same 7.4V battery rail and identical locking connector. The BMS on each body expects the same voltage handshake and cell-state data, so one replacement cell covers the full range without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through full charge and discharge cycles on a DVC32 body. The BMS accepted the cell on first contact, reported state-of-charge accurately, and did not trigger a low-voltage cutoff during sustained recording loads.
• First-cycle calibration on DVC bodies: Complete one full charge through the OEM charger or camera body before your first recording session. Some AG-series bodies require an in-camera charge cycle to map the new cell's discharge curve and display battery-remaining accurately on the LCD.

Why the AG-DVC15 shows a lower battery level than expected on a new cell

The AG-DVC15 uses a voltage-threshold lookup to estimate remaining charge. A new Li-ion cell has a slightly different discharge curve than an aged OEM cell, so the camera reads the thresholds differently at first. This causes the indicator to start lower than the actual charge level. After one or two full charge-discharge cycles inside the camera, the BMS recalibrates and the readout stabilises to match the real state of charge.

Battery percentage dropping suddenly during continuous recording on the DVC60 and DVC62

Sustained video recording on the DVC60 and DVC62 pulls a higher combined load from the CCD sensor, image processor, and viewfinder simultaneously. At this elevated draw, the cell voltage dips temporarily below the camera's warning threshold, triggering a sudden percentage drop even though capacity remains. This is a BMS voltage-sag response, not cell failure. Check that the battery contacts on the body are clean and seated firmly — dirty contacts increase resistance and make voltage sag worse. A resting voltage above 7.2V after the drop confirms the cell is healthy.
