Since the supplied battery on the camcorder is not suitable for longer recording (without spare battery or mains), had to be the larger version. Because of Rezesionen I decided to Patona battery. Result: absolutely perfect fit and without problems loading (directly on camera). Appropriate battery information is also displayed on the display. Previous use: two-day city trip with no problems and always a further 2.5 hours of battery remaining time. Therefore Recommendation for buyers who do not necessarily attach importance to original accessories.
