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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCR-30A and CV-T platform compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle conditioning on vintage Ni-MH packs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the CV-T series cuts power mid-record on a new pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery percentage or charge indicator jumping erratically on the CV-T display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eCanon'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43333820711002,"sku":"BWCS-VBF2E-1","price":81.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43333820743770,"sku":"BWCS-VBF2E-2","price":93.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43333820776538,"sku":"BWCS-VBF2E-3","price":101.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-VBF2E_1.webp?v=1778213259","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/canon-cr-30a-replacement-battery-12v-1800mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
