Panasonic VW-VBK180 Li-Ion Battery Pack

I ordered the battery to be a backup to the battery that I was sent when I ordered my HD Video camera. I expected it to be a lesser battery than the original equipment. Boy was I surprised! It outlasts the original battery by a long shot. I just returned from a vacation trip in Colorado where the outside temps were just about freezing - this battery performed flawlessly. Will not hesitate to order again if that need arises. This is a a quality product that is every bit as good - if not better - than the original OEM battery.

I thought I was buying a larger battery than came with my TM90K but it's the same capacity. Performance seems to decrease rapidly with cooler weather. For instance, when the temps are in the 50s, I'm lucky to get an hour of steady video (football game). Since I have two batteries, I just pop the other on and continue.

I have had the panasonic SD60 camcorder for around 4 years now and I am happy with its recodring quality and the general performance. Especially for a parent that has two little kids,I want to have a camcorder around at all times to record some funny moments or some accomplishments.However, as time goes by, the original battery capacity decreased and instead of offering around 2 hours of recording time, it only allows 1.5 hours at max. Apart from that, especially long field trips require a backup battery and a backup sd card not to be left out with a recorder that is either out of memory or out of battery. I learnt it in the hard way. For example, last weekend we went to the zoo and kids asked me to record the animals. But before reaching to the part with lions the battery was flat. So no lions at all which was a disappointment for the little ones. After a few incidents like that, I finally justified the cost of extra battery an ordered this model.This is the exact replacement of the original battery and is totally genuine. The 1790mAh model charges from 0% to 100% in around an hour and at its max, camera displays 1hr 55 min recording time which is great. This 1790 mAh model is exactly what I had in the original camera. You can go for the double capacity one which costs more and is bulkier but I think this one is pretty enough too (especially if the camera is already over 3-4 years and can fail within a few years anyway.)I think this is the ultimate solution for losing precious moments because of the flat battery and it performs great...

I ended up ordering this as a spare battery. The battery only lasts about 2 hours on a full charge so I wanted to get an extra one just to be safe. I used Amazon's free shipping and it only took a few days for it to arrive. It's pretty much the exact battery that comes with the new camera (in my case the TM-90). The price was nice and I'm happy with this purchase.

No issues and having a second battery is absolutely mandatory. Especially for hunting trips or more austere camping or family trips when you aren't near a charger for a few days. Fits well and performs well.

I bought this in end of May, it worked for a few weeks. Now it does not hold any charge. I think the seller gave me a very old battery which was approaching its life expiry. I see the warning message that the battery needs to be replaced. Not sure who to contact at this point

it was with the camera. wrong battery for camera ? the camera was a toshiba x200. batt ery was not! can't find a battery to fit?

I purchase this to have an extra on hand to always have a fully charged battery for those camcorder moments!This batter has a long battery life. I cannot tell you how long it lasts over time, but it never runs dead during a piano recital taping, or school event. Having an extra batter, one can quickly remove the batter and instill a fresh one without much effort.The ease of putting this battery in to the camcorder is just great. No muss or fuss - quick snap-in and you are good to go.
