You might save a few dollars. You will have to deal with diy wiring and resulting reliability problems. There is no way a battery like this would fit on your camcorder - NiCad batteries are bigger than Li-Ion for the same capacity.

I say...
Homemade battery + expensive camera + OOOPS!!! = No Warranty!
Be careful. RB |
I bought a Lenmar (cheaper brand) battery for my XL1S at around
$50 or so (new) and it lasts like 4 hours or something (not continues recording). Pretty good and cheap in my opinion. Doesn't always have to get a brand battery! |
Check eBay before you go and build a battery. I got a $60 Sony Li Ion ($13) and a Sony external Battery Charger ($12) + $16 (shipping) = $41. It was shipped from Singapore, though.
