It fits a broad range of JVC equipment from the mid-2000s era that shares this voltage rail and form factor. Capacity is 12.6Wh — matching the original spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBN-V series cross-compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The BN-60U, BN-V11U, BN-V12, and BN-V14U share the same 6V rail, physical footprint, and connector orientation across JVC's compact lineup. That shared architecture is why one cell covers all four model designations without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on JVC body hardware. The Ni-MH chemistry accepted charge cleanly from both OEM chargers and third-party units, and the BMS did not flag the cell on initial insertion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst charge cycle on JVC body:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Run the first full charge from within the JVC camera body or OEM charger — not a generic third-party unit. Some JVC BMS firmware maps battery-remaining display thresholds during that initial charge cycle. Skipping it can cause the indicator to read inaccurately for the first several uses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy JVC cameras show a low-battery warning on a freshly charged Ni-MH cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells have a flatter discharge curve than Li-ion, and JVC's mid-2000s camera firmware was calibrated around the voltage behaviour of the original factory cell. A new replacement cell may sit at a slightly different resting voltage — typically between 6.0V and 6.3V fully charged — which the camera's indicator maps differently. This isn't a fault with the cell. After one or two full charge-discharge cycles, the BMS recalibrates its threshold mapping and the indicator stabilises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery percentage jumping erratically during a shoot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens when the camera's voltage-to-percentage map doesn't align with the new cell's discharge curve on first use. The indicator may drop suddenly from 80% to 20%, then recover — the cell still has charge, but the firmware is reading voltage at the wrong point on the Ni-MH curve. Run one complete charge cycle, discharge the cell fully through normal use, then recharge to 100%. After that cycle, the percentage display tracks the actual cell state reliably. If jumping persists after two cycles, check the battery contacts are clean and seating at full depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43333891194970,"sku":"BWCS-NP55-1","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43333891227738,"sku":"BWCS-NP55-2","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43333891260506,"sku":"BWCS-NP55-3","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-NP55-1.webp?v=1778213590","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/jvc-bn-60u-replacement-battery-6v-2100mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
