Rechargeable MAGNAVOX Camcorder Battery Pack Replacement

When buying a new MAGNAVOX camcorder battery, what type should I consider to choose?

• 1.Always buy batteries that are made for your charger. And, obviously, always buy batteries that are rated for your camcorder. For example, the Canon GL1 is rated as 7.2 volts DC.Caring for your camcorder battery doesn't mean that you must have an emotional attachment. But you do need to discipline yourself to certain practices, or you'll waste money and lose valuable shooting opportunities because you'll be tending to sick batteries. Follow these basic guidelines, and your batteries should serve you well:
• 2.Never expose your MAGNAVOX camcorder batteries to elevated temperatures. The numero uno enemy of batteries is heat. Anton/Bauer claims that heat can accelerate your battery's aging process by as much as 80 percent! Heat can also cause a lithium ion battery to lose its ability to hold a charge.
• 3.For long-term storage between uses (as in weeks), keep your MAGNAVOX camcorder batteries in the refrigerator. But before you nestle the batteries between the lettuce and rutabagas, put them (the batteries, that is) in a plastic bag to avoid the rare possibility of the battery seeping and causing food contamination.
• 4.Don't put a cold battery on a battery charger! If you take a battery out of cold storage or out of a cold environment (such as your car in winter), always allow your MAGNAVOX camcorder battery to reach room temperature before charging. Batteries have been known to explode if placed on a charger while cold. Charging creates heat.
• 5.Don't allow your MAGNAVOX camcorder batteries to jostle around while you're carrying them. Jostling directly affects your battery's life and performance. Also, never use a battery that has been physically damaged. The coating on the battery is supposed to keep the battery acid from seeping out. If the battery is damaged, these chemicals (which can be unstable and dangerous) can leak and cause damage to anything they touch.
