Thats weird?
I just did what I should have done first, and placed them side by side. Although physically, the same size, the Canon has extra terminals in the centre. The supplied Canon BP-950G is rated at 7.4V 5200mAh whereas the BP941H is rated at 7.2V 4350mAh. Link below shows them end to end. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y15...ugga/batts.jpg So...I was thinking it was a no-go but...then saw your post? Looking at the charger, it does not use the extra three terminals only the outisde + and - ones, which are a match on both batteries. Looking inside the camera, there are definetely extra contacts for the three extra terminals. These are marked T B and D. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y15...a/XH-A1015.jpg Can anybody expand on this? |

This guy's batteries look just like mine. What you have must be something different.

I tried the "Big Boy" BP941H in and the camera worked.
Then came the heartstopping moment! Opened the battery cover, flicked the battery release and.....the battery never budged.....ARGH!!!!!!!!! Cold sweat time.....dont panic....dont panic!!!!!! Had to hold the camera upside down and give it one solid shake and phew...it slipped out. These "Big Boys" that fill the compartment look like they may all suffer the same problem. Anyone else brave enough to confirm this? Are you saying your friends batteries have the three extra connections? The BP-945's on E-Bay all look identical to the BP-941 I already have i.e. only two connections so....what gives? |

I'm not sure what batteries he has, but they don't stick and they work. I'm guessing what you may have is one of the older ones, or a non-Cannon battery. There's been a thread ongoing here about how the non-Cannon batteries are just a bit bigger and will stick and you have to use some double sticky tape or something to get them out.

The large batteries work fine on mine and they don't stick either.

Thanks, Chris. I must have missed pg. 14. I'm sure I read it but obviously I didn't "read" it.

It's page 16 in the manual I downloaded. I haven't checked about the one that came with the camera.

I was referencing the PDF download. My hardcopy is still sealed in plastic.

For the HV-10 I have the larger capacity Power2000 battery which looses power momentarily at the slightest bump. :-\ Go figure.
