Has anybody ever been able to find a suitable replacement battery for this device? Logitech Customer Support basically told me to buy a new camera.

Good luck. I sent mine back for a refund. I was not happy with their customer non-service either.

Sorry, haven't tried either of this options. I called Sony about the battery problem. My only suggestion would to call their customer service. (I didn't put to much faith in their help). I see there was another response to your question by Gloria. I think she answered your question.

I have experienced the exact same problem and ended up having to buy a new battery. I would stay away from this battery if I were you. It worked well for about a month and then it wouldn't do anything in my camera. A waste of money for sure

I really don't know but you could ask via computer at: www.logitech.com/support or call and talk with someone at 1 800-231-7717. Monday - Saturday, 7:00am - 4:00pm PT They could answer and it would be covered under warranty. Hope this helps. Mine was only functional 8 months. I went back to battery.

Bring the burned out battery to any electronics store and just let the sales rep know that that one is burnt out and that you want the same battery. The battery on my model is still good.

Same camera I just bought one for. It works great. Be aware that my original battery that came with the camera was an 1100 mHr and this one is 1000mHr. A predictor that it will not hold as much of a charge. However, my original had deteriorated gradually, but certainly so that this new one holds a charge for hundreds of photos. Mine is working great.

Mary the battery did work for me for about 5 days after it was installed. it would not take a charge however.Logitech FAQs & technical support has some cases regarding this battery. They claim they are counterfit and you need to buy a battery from them which i did do. Hope this helps tom

Wish I could help...same thing happened to me and no one was able to tell me where I could get another battery. I now have portable tv that I cannot watch & cannot return. If you get an answer, please share.

I guess that's possible, I have had no issues at all with mine. I believe if you go on their website or call them, you can order a new battery.

Jessie - My camcorder was a different model number than yours (cc4414) - but the replacement battery I ordered worked fine. Good luck!

You can purchase new batteries from Lawmate by going to their website and can also find authorized dealers there. I found spare batteries on Ebay. I rarely use the extra battery though. Also I recommend placing a small strip of black electric tape along to bottom of the device to cover the bright little LED lights that show when you are recording. They are just too bright.

A representative of the company that makes the battery in question, explaining that it truly does work in my camera. The explanation soundedreasonable and I appreciated the call. I have not needed to use the battery so can't tell if it works, but will try it in the future. Thanks for asking. MP

I could not find replacement batteries. Mine has not been working for a year. I gave up looking. If you find some I would love to know.

I'm not having any problems with my replacement battery. It seems to last just as long as the orginal . I have one in the grip and one in the camera. I cannot tell the difference of which one is where. The replacement is physically lighter so long term it may not last as long . Great bang for the buck value.

Dang, anyone know if there are still any cameras that use real batteries like this? I'd have had to replace my Sony multiple times over if it used proprietary batteries. They're such a pain, and I wish NOTHING used them. I need a new/better camera though, and REALLY want something that still uses regular batteries.

My experience has been very good... Over Christmas for example, I had a battery last me for a few days, and that's with shooting probably 20 photos and a little video each day. On trips where I'm doing a lot of shooting I may go through a battery each day and recharge at night. Since I have two batteries I just cycle them through and am never lacking a charged battery. When I got my camera, a firmware update made battery life significantly better... Could be the same for you.Best of luck!
