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 ZR700 / HV20 Series — 7.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery (BP-2L12)

This is a 7.4V, 1500mAh (11.1Wh) Li-ion battery for Canon MiniDV and HD camcorders including the ZR700, HV20, MV880X, and MD140. It replaces OEM part numbers BP-2L12, BP-2L13, BP-2L14, NB-2L12, NB-2L13, and NB-2L14. If your original pack no longer holds a charge or the camera body rejects it entirely, this cell fits the same connector and voltage rail.

  • ZR700 and HV20 platform fit: Canon's compact camcorder line from this era shares a common 7.4V two-cell Li-ion form factor, the same physical latch connector, and a BMS handshake the camera body runs at power-on. The BP-2L12 through BP-2L14 designations differ by rated capacity at OEM spec, not by connector or voltage — this replacement covers all three numbers.
  • Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through the ZR700 body and a Canon-compatible charger. The BMS passed the camera's authentication check without a rejection flag, held voltage above 7.0V through full discharge, and showed no abnormal cutoff on motor-driven tape transport.
  • First-use charge cycle on the ZR700: Run the first full charge inside the camera body or Canon OEM charger before shooting. The ZR700's battery-remaining indicator maps charge state against a learned discharge curve — skipping this step causes the indicator to read inaccurately for the first several uses.

Why the ZR700 shows a dead-battery icon on a freshly charged replacement cell

Canon's compact camcorder BMS uses a voltage-threshold table stored in the camera body to estimate remaining charge. A new third-party cell has a slightly different discharge curve than the OEM pack, so the body can misread the state of charge on first use. This usually presents as a low-battery or dead-battery icon even when the cell is at full voltage. One complete charge-discharge cycle — charged in the body or Canon charger, then run down normally — allows the BMS to recalibrate its threshold mapping to the new cell.

Battery percentage jumping or dropping suddenly mid-recording

This is a gauge calibration issue, not a faulty cell. The ZR700 estimates remaining charge by comparing real-time voltage against a fixed lookup table tuned to the OEM cell's discharge slope. A replacement cell with a flatter mid-range discharge curve causes the indicator to jump — it reads fine at high voltage, then appears to drop sharply as voltage enters the flatter section. Running two full charge-discharge cycles through the camera body resets the reference point. After that, the percentage reading stabilises and tracks the actual cell voltage at around 7.0V before the camera shuts down.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Canon ZR700 shows "no battery" or won't power on with the new replacement installed — what's wrong?

This is the camera body's BMS running an authentication check on the new cell at power-on. It's common on first install of a third-party pack. Place the battery in the Canon charger or the camera body and run a full charge from flat — this initialises the handshake. After one complete charge cycle, the body recognises the cell and powers on normally.

The battery percentage on my HV20 jumps from 60% to 10% suddenly during recording — is the cell defective?

The cell is almost certainly fine. The HV20's charge indicator maps voltage to percentage using a curve calibrated to the original OEM pack. A replacement cell with a slightly different discharge slope causes the readout to skip during the flat mid-section of the curve. Run two full charge-discharge cycles through the camera body and the indicator will track consistently — the actual cutoff voltage stays at approximately 7.0V regardless of what the display shows.

My ZR700 battery drains noticeably faster in cold weather — is this a fault with the replacement cell?

Cold temperatures reduce available capacity in any Li-ion cell — internal resistance rises as temperature drops, and the BMS cuts the cell off earlier to protect it. At around 0°C, effective capacity can drop by 20–30% compared to room temperature. Keep the battery in a shirt pocket between takes to maintain cell temperature, and reinsert just before recording. Capacity returns to normal once the cell warms back above 15°C.
