It matches the original voltage rail and connector format used across Canon's cinema and prosumer camera lineup. Capacity is drawn from product specification at 38.48Wh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eC300 \/ C100 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These bodies share the same BP-9xx battery slot, contact pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — one cell format covers the full range from the GL2 through the C300 Mark I without adapter or modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this cell through the Canon C100 Mark II body and OEM charger. The BMS handshake completed on first charge cycle, battery-remaining percentage displayed correctly, and no over-voltage flags were triggered on the protection circuit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-install charge cycle on Canon cinema bodies:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Insert the new cell and run one full charge directly inside the camera body before heading to set. Canon's BMS on the C300 and C100 series maps its battery-remaining display against a charge cycle performed in-body — skipping this step can cause the indicator to report inaccurate remaining capacity from the first use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the C300 Mark I rejects a third-party cell on first install\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eCanon cinema bodies authenticate the battery pack through a multi-pin contact check and a brief BMS handshake at power-on. A new third-party cell without a prior charge cycle can fail this check, triggering a no-battery or incompatible-battery warning even when the cell is fully charged. The fix is straightforward: place the battery in the OEM charger or camera body and run one complete charge from empty before inserting it cold into a powered camera. After that first cycle, the body accepts the cell normally and the indicator maps correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery percentage jumping erratically on the C100 display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens when the camera's internal discharge-curve map doesn't align with the new cell's actual voltage-threshold profile. Canon's indicator firmware reads voltage steps and converts them to percentage brackets — a replacement cell with a slightly different discharge curve hits those voltage thresholds at different points, causing the display to jump in large increments rather than count down smoothly. Run two full charge-discharge cycles through the camera body to let the BMS recalibrate. After the second cycle, the readout should track within a few percentage points of actual remaining charge, and voltage at the low warning threshold should sit near 6.4V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43333784272986,"sku":"BWCS-BP955MX-1","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43333784305754,"sku":"BWCS-BP955MX-2","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43333784338522,"sku":"BWCS-BP955MX-3","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-BP955MX-1.webp?v=1778213126","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/canon-c300-mark-i-replacement-battery-74v-5200mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
