JVC dummy battery (camera)

Last crawled date: 6 years, 1 month ago

A DIY replacement battery for JVC camcorders and cameras that used BN-V408, BN-V408-H, BN-V408U, BN-V408U-B, BN-V408U-H, BN-V408US batteries. Replacement batteries are expensive, and unnecessary especially if using the camera as a editing deck, where running off mains would be more appropriate.
A couple of versions are included, depending on the electrical contacts you make. Simplest is just a couple of M3 screws to attach wires, the better looking contacts are a 4mm wide, brass or tinned steel strip (think scissors and bean can) just bent into place and soldered. Your DC supply should be 7.2v and the + terminal is marked on the print.
