It slots into the same battery bay as the original and restores power for recording and playback. Voltage and form factor match OEM spec across the listed models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCVL-series camcorder compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share a common 6V battery rail and identical mechanical bay dimensions. The same connector pinout and voltage threshold applies across the lineup, which is why one cell covers all listed variants 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 full charge and discharge on a CVL-series body. The BMS accepted the cell without rejection flags, and voltage under load held steady through both recording and playback draw cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle initialisation on CVL camcorders:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Run the first full charge through the camcorder body itself using the OEM AC adapter — not a standalone charger. Some CVL-series units map battery-remaining display to a charge curve calibrated during the first in-body charge cycle. Skipping this step can cause the indicator to read inaccurately from the start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the CVL-345 shows a dead battery indicator on a partially charged replacement cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe CVL-series battery indicator maps to specific voltage thresholds baked into the camera firmware. A new Ni-MH cell has a slightly different discharge curve than a worn OEM cell, so the camcorder can misread remaining charge at the top end. This shows up as a sudden drop to one bar or a blinking icon even when the cell still has capacity. Running one full charge-discharge cycle in the camera body lets the firmware re-anchor its threshold mapping to the new cell's actual curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery percentage jumping erratically during recording\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells have a flatter mid-range discharge curve than Ni-Cd, and the CVL-series indicator was not always tuned for this. As draw spikes during active recording — autofocus, tape transport motor, and viewfinder backlight all pulling simultaneously — voltage dips briefly, triggering a lower indicator reading before recovering. This is a display artefact, not cell failure. If the jumps stop after the first full cycle, the BMS has recalibrated. If they persist past three full cycles, check that resting voltage off the charger reaches 6.0V before inserting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43333895815258,"sku":"BWCS-NP55-1","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43333895848026,"sku":"BWCS-NP55-2","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43333895880794,"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\/magnavox-cvl-345-replacement-battery-6v-2100mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
