SWIT S-8823 Reviews
Solid Batteries...
We have purchased SWIT batteries over the years for our JVC cameras and have been happy with them. The indicators on the back have been a reliable way to quickly see the charge level without having to plug it into a camera or charger and we have always appreciated that feature.
Drains alarmingly fast
This battery is very bad. I have been giving it bench tests with my JVC GY-HM170U. Even if I simply have the camera turned on, but not recording, not doing any zooms or anything, it drains at about twice the rate it's supposed to. In other words, when I put it on it reads 360 minutes. When I check it 40 minutes later, instead of reading 320 minutes left, it reads 280, as if 80 minutes have gone by. If I turn the camera off, take the battery off, and put it right back on, even if it was supposed to have 150 minutes left it drops down to 13-18 minutes left when I put it back on the camera. If I zoom, it drains the battery at MORE than 200% of the indicated rate. MAYBE, if you're shooting 2 hours solid it will work, but I wouldn't count on it. I will be returning this battery.
