Camcorder helps us record the best moments of our lives and we can view these recorded moments later on our televisions, laptops and computers whenever we want. That is the reason why this device is so popular. It lets us relive the most amazing moments of our lives. We can record videos for hours through this gadget depending upon the capacity of the batteries. Fully charged and new camcorder batteries give you longer recording hours but with time their capacity gets reduced. Decreasing recording time means that the battery is dying. No matter what type of or how expensive battery you have bought, it will eventually die. You cannot help it. But with few tricks you can make your battery last for a longer time.

Good quality batteries- Buy camcorder batteries of good quality only. You will find all versions of batteries for your camcorder in market. These come in all price ranges. You may find the cheaper options tempting but don’t fall for it. When you have an expensive camcorder on stake you would not like to risk it for saving few bucks. Buy good quality batteries always and it is advisable that you buy the ones that are designed for your particular camcorder model type.

Clean battery contacts- Clean the battery contacts every six months. To clean electronic devices like these you need to use special cleaning chemicals only. These chemicals do not damage your device. You can use rubbing alcohol to clean these contacts. Leave it on the contacts to dry for some time before using.

BCB batteries- Buy BCB camcorder batteries for your camcorders. BCB means battery circuit breaker. BCB would not let the access power pass into the device and hence saves your batteries and your camcorder from getting damaged. You can easily get these BCB batteries from electronic shops.

Keep battery away from moisture- Dirt, heat and moisture are three most notorious culprits that are generally behind almost all types of malfunctioning of electronic device. And moisture is the deadliest one. If you don’t want a short life for your device, just keep them from dirt, dust, moisture and extreme heat. Keep the batteries of your camcorder away from direct heat and keep them covered so that they remain safe from moisture. Whenever you are travelling keep your batteries covered in a waterproof bag or in plastic bag.

Never overcharge- Overcharging never gives the battery extra power. You think that if you charge your camcorder battery for longer time the battery will absorb more power and give it to your camcorder then you are perhaps not aware of the functioning of BCB. BCB don’t let the excess power flow into device. So overcharging never helps instead it harms the batteries and reduces the battery life.

Take proper care of your camcorder and batteries to get best value for your money, and let them serve you long after you purchased them.
