Do i need a new battery for my camcorder?

Question

I have an 8mm camcorder (samsung). It no longer charges but when you plug the charger upto the camcorder you can record and still hook it up to the tv and everything works fine. Also where the red light is supposed to stay lit when charging it will blink instead. Do i just need a new battery?

Answer 1

Did you battery previously work, and is suddenly not? Has it been sitting awhile? Is it new or old?

The odds are, if the camera works fine, your battery is either no longer able to charge, or has an issue with the cells.

Probably just needs a new battery.

Answer 2

I had the same problem with my past Camera so I replaced the battery and I haven't had a problem since. You can get a new battery for cheap from needbattery.com I use them for all of my battery needs. They have the lowest prices on the net and a really good return policy/warranty.
