Best battery for everio

(5 out of 5) by Mario on May 29, 2007 (Texas)
There are three choices for everio...

VF808- Very small, but only lasts around 1 hr.
VF815- Not to big, lasts around 2.5 hrs.
VF823- Lasts between 3.5-4 hrs...., but it very big for this samll camcorder...

In muy opinion, get two 815 for long recordings.

Not too big, yet not small

(4 out of 5) by C. Labao on May 28, 2008 (Jacksonvile, FL)
This battery is definitely bigger than the battery my camcorder came with but it does the job. I have all three batteries: BN-VF808, BN-VF815, and the BN-VF823. This (the VF815) is the happy medium. You have to sacrifice the size and compactness to get the battery life you need. In my opinion, just get 2 of the medium batteries.

Also, I suggest getting the charger so you will always have the second battery ready to go.

More power!

(5 out of 5) by Patrick A. Schommer on Nov 15, 2007 (Fun Prairie, WI USA)
Great as an extra battery for my JVC camera. Identical to the included batter but larger; it sticks out a bit more from the camera, but doesn't make it too big.

Just the right size for my compact Everio Camcorders:

(5 out of 5) by Sharpe on Sep 5, 2007
The battery life of the smaller version is too short, and the larger one would be too big for the compact camcorder. so this is just right.

Good Battery Life, A Teeny Bit Bulky

(4 out of 5) by Bradford Peyton on Apr 6, 2008 (London, UK)
I've been using this extra battery for more than 2 weeks and it's definitely replaced use of the original battery (half the capacity of this model). The only downside to using this is that it isn't as flush with my MG330 JVC Everio camcorder, but I've got nicely-sized hands and the battery doesn't have any impact on how I hold the camera.

I recommend this model (medium) out of the 3 capacities available (small, medium, large).
