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.

Canon CR-30A / CV-T Series — 12V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (BP-30)
This is a 12V, 1800mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for Canon's late-1980s and early-1990s camcorder line. It fits the CR-30A, CV-T60, CV-T65, CV-T70, and related CV-T models that share the BP-30 battery platform. It replaces the BP-30, BP-30A, BP-31, BP-32, and BP-100 OEM packs.
- CR-30A and CV-T platform compatibility: These models share a common 12V rail and the same physical connector and cell bay dimensions. The BP-30 series packs were used across all of them, so a single cell format covers the group without modification.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through full charge and discharge runs on the CV-T platform. The BMS accepted the cell without error, and the camera body drew cleanly through record and playback without voltage sag or cutoff events.
- First-cycle conditioning on vintage Ni-MH packs: Ni-MH cells in older Canon camcorders can develop a shallow memory effect if cycled short. On first use, run the pack to full depletion via the camera's record function before charging — this sets the BMS voltage floor correctly for the cell's actual capacity.
Why the CV-T series cuts power mid-record on a new pack
The CV-T platform monitors pack voltage and trips a low-voltage cutoff if the cell dips below threshold during high-draw moments like tape transport start or heads spinning up. A fresh Ni-MH replacement cell has a slightly different discharge curve than the original NiCd packs some of these cameras originally shipped with. This can cause the camera to interpret a mid-range voltage dip as a depleted cell. One full discharge-then-charge cycle from within the camera body recalibrates the cutoff response to the new cell's curve.
Battery percentage or charge indicator jumping erratically on the CV-T display
Canon's CV-T series uses a stepped LED or segment indicator rather than a true coulomb counter, so it maps voltage thresholds to charge level. A new Ni-MH cell holds a flatter mid-range discharge curve than the original pack the indicator was calibrated against, which makes the display skip segments unpredictably. This is a display-mapping issue, not a cell fault. Run the pack through two full charge cycles in the OEM charger and the indicator steps will stabilise to the new cell's curve.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Canon CV-T60 keeps cutting out mid-recording even though the battery shows charge — what's happening?
The CV-T60 trips a voltage cutoff during high-draw moments like tape transport start, and a new Ni-MH cell dips in voltage differently than the original pack the camera was tuned for. The camera reads that dip as a depleted cell and shuts down record mode. Run one complete discharge cycle through continuous recording, then charge fully — this brings the camera's cutoff threshold into line with the new cell's discharge curve. After that cycle, mid-record shutdowns on a charged pack should stop.
The charge indicator on my CR-30A jumps around — goes from full to one bar and back while recording. Is the cell faulty?
The CR-30A uses a voltage-threshold indicator rather than a fuel gauge, so it maps fixed voltage steps to charge segments. A fresh Ni-MH replacement has a flatter mid-discharge voltage profile than the original cell, causing the indicator to skip between segments instead of stepping down smoothly. The cell itself is fine. Complete two full charge and discharge cycles through the camera body and the indicator will stabilise to the new discharge curve.
This pack felt warm after charging in my CV-T65 — is that normal for Ni-MH at 12V?
Ni-MH cells produce more heat during charge than lithium chemistry, and at 12V across a 1800mAh pack that warmth is expected — it is not a fault. The CV-T65 charger circuit uses a delta-V termination method to detect full charge, and a new cell may take a few cycles before the termination triggers cleanly, which can extend charge time and add warmth. If the pack is hot rather than warm, let it cool fully and retry — the delta-V trigger should sharpen after the first two cycles. Charge in an upright position away from enclosed spaces until the cell is broken in.
