I purchased this and the 823 battery for a trip recently and used this as my primary battery. This and the default battery the camcorder came with was sufficient for all the recording that I did (around 24gb worth) It is not too bulky either. Having a backup battery is always a good thing.

I use the product on my JVC Everio HD7. Its good, it works. The 3 hour recording time is with the LCD closed. About 70min with it open. I've found this catch 22 with all batteries. It blows, but what can you do but buy a more expensive battery?

Comments about JVC BN-VF815 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack - 7.2V, 1460mAh:
Much better than the "stock" battery, that comes with the camera, and gives you a lot more time to shoot. Does what it should, and charges fairly quickly, too.

Comments about JVC BN-VF815 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack - 7.2V, 1460mAh:
Not bad for doubling the recording time of my JVC GZ-M330 camcorder. The battery is about twice as big as the standard one, so it makes the camera a bit bulky but it's not a big deal. It does take a while to charge.

Comments about JVC BN-VF815 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack - 7.2V, 1460mAh:
This is not a substitute with a work-around, hang in your face, pigtail connection to fool the camera into thinking it is connected to the original equipment JVC power adapter.

Comments about JVC BN-VF815 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack - 7.2V, 1460mAh:
I took this battery on my vacation. I took lots of videos and still photos with power to spare. It is a little bit heavier and bulkier than the battery that came with the camcorder, but still is not obtrusive nor uncomfortable.

Comments about JVC BN-VF815 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack - 7.2V, 1460mAh:
What can I say, it's a battery. In general, I like to stick with OEM batteries whenever they have "power meter" features, as is the case with this JVC and with Sony batteries. The cost can be a shock, however.
