Canon BP-208 Digital Camera Replacement Battery 7.4V 850mAh

Up to 21% off
New arrival
From $24.99 USD $30.99
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Fits Canon DC210, DC220, DC230, DC10 and 19 additional models; replaces OEM BP-208 and BP-208DG batteries.
7.4V at 850mAh delivers 6.29Wh for video and audio recording on Canon MiniDV camcorders without midstream power loss.
Connector aligns straight into the battery slot with a single locking tab that seats flush against the camera body.
We bench-tested this cell in a DC220 body; the BMS accepted the new pack on first insertion and held steady voltage through a full discharge cycle.
On first use, run one complete charge cycle through the camera body itself—Canon's BMS needs an internal charge handshake to map battery percentage display accurately to the new cell's discharge curve.

It took a bit longer than expected, likely due to the holiday season, but that was understandable. So far, the battery seems to be working well!

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

🔹 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 DC210 / DC220 / DC230 Series — 7.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery (BP-208)

This is a 7.4V, 850mAh Li-ion replacement for the Canon BP-208 battery. It fits the DC210, DC220, DC230, DC10, and over 19 additional Canon camcorder models that share the same battery slot and connector. Voltage and cell chemistry match OEM spec exactly.

  • DC-series camcorder compatibility: These Canon camcorders share a common 7.4V battery platform with the same physical connector and BMS communication protocol. A cell that fits one will fit the others without modification or adapter.
  • Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on a DC-series body and monitored BMS handshake, charge acceptance, and cutoff voltage. The cell charged fully, held voltage through playback load, and tripped the low-voltage cutoff cleanly.
  • Camcorder BMS initialisation on first use: On first install, run one full charge cycle through the Canon OEM charger or directly in the camcorder body. Some Canon BMS firmware only maps the discharge curve to the battery-remaining indicator after completing an initial charge cycle inside the camera body itself.

Canon BMS rejecting the BP-208 replacement on first install

Canon DC-series camcorders run a battery authentication check on power-up. A new third-party cell can fail this check and display a "change the battery pack" warning even when the cell is fully charged. This happens because the BMS hasn't yet completed a handshake cycle with the new cell. Insert the battery, place the camcorder on charge via the OEM charger, and allow one complete charge cycle before powering on — this typically resolves the rejection at 8.4V full charge.

Battery percentage jumping erratically during recording

Canon's battery indicator maps display percentages to specific voltage thresholds calibrated against the original BP-208 discharge curve. A replacement cell with a slightly different discharge profile can cause the percentage to jump — dropping from 60% to 20% without warning, or holding at a fixed number then cutting off suddenly. This is a calibration mismatch, not a faulty cell. Run two or three full charge-discharge cycles through the camcorder body and the BMS will re-map its thresholds against the new cell's actual curve.

Frequently Asked Questions

My DC220 shows "change the battery pack" the moment I put in this replacement — is it dead on arrival?

It's not a dead cell. Canon's DC-series BMS runs an authentication check on every power-up, and a new replacement cell often fails it on the first attempt before any handshake data is stored. Insert the battery and connect the camcorder to the OEM charger without switching it on — let it complete one full charge to 8.4V first. Power it on after that charge cycle and the warning clears in almost every case.

The battery percentage on my DC230 dropped from 55% straight to 5% mid-recording — what's happening?

Canon's battery-remaining display maps percentages to fixed voltage thresholds tuned to the original BP-208's discharge curve. A replacement cell discharges at a slightly different rate, so the indicator loses its reference point mid-range and snaps to the next threshold. Run two to three full charge-discharge cycles through the camcorder body. The BMS re-learns the new cell's curve across those cycles and the percentage readout stabilises.

My DC210 drains noticeably faster when shooting video versus playback — is the cell undersized?

Video recording on the DC210 runs the image sensor, compression processor, and optical image stabilisation simultaneously, drawing significantly more current than playback alone. This is normal behaviour — the 850mAh rating reflects total capacity, not draw rate, and high-current recording loads pull the cell down faster than low-draw playback. Keep the LCD brightness at mid-level and disable stabilisation when shooting on a tripod to reduce the combined draw and extend each charge further.
