It fits the Panasonic NV-3CCD1, NV-61, NV-63, NV-G1, and over 170 additional Panasonic camcorder models from the same platform. The PV-BP15, PV-BP17, and VW-VBS series OEM part numbers all cross to this cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNV and PV series compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These camcorders share a common 6V Ni-MH bus and the same physical battery bay. The VW-VBS1, VW-VBS2, and VW-VBR variants all use an identical connector and polarity — no adapter required across the family.\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 a NV-series body and confirmed the BMS accepted the new pack without fault flags. Voltage stabilised at 6V under record load with no mid-session dropout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNi-MH charge cycle on first install:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Ni-MH cells in Panasonic camcorders calibrate their fuel gauge against a full charge-discharge cycle inside the camera body. Run one complete charge through the OEM charger before your first recording session — the battery-remaining indicator will map correctly after that cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the NV-series battery indicator stays blank on a fresh replacement cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003ePanasonic's NV-platform reads remaining capacity by tracking voltage drop against a reference curve stored in the camera body. A new Ni-MH cell starts with an uncharacterised voltage profile — the body has no baseline to map it against. Until the first full charge-discharge cycle completes, the indicator may show nothing or display a static full-charge icon regardless of actual state. This is not a fault with the cell. One full cycle through the OEM charger resets the reference and restores accurate display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery percentage jumping around during playback on the NV-3CCD1\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells have a flatter discharge curve than Li-ion — voltage holds steady through most of the discharge cycle, then drops sharply near the end. The NV-3CCD1's indicator is calibrated to the original cell's specific curve, and a replacement cell with slightly different internal resistance will cause the readout to jump rather than step down smoothly. This is a display calibration artefact, not a capacity problem. Run two full charge-discharge cycles and the camera's reference curve will settle — voltage should read stable above 5.5V under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43333884280922,"sku":"BWCS-PDHV40-1","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43333884313690,"sku":"BWCS-PDHV40-2","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43333884346458,"sku":"BWCS-PDHV40-3","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-PDHV40-1.webp?v=1778213554","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/panasonic-nv-3ccd1-replacement-battery-6v-4200mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
