Camcorder battery. 800mAh or higher

I'm having problems finding a replacement camcorder battery, CGR-D08R 7.2v 800mAh, for my very old Panasonic NV-DS27.

I can get a 1100mAh. Would this be compatible, do you think? I'd hate to throw away a perfectly good camcorder just because the battery is no longer rechargeable.

Many thanks.

mAh stands for milli Ampere hour or milli Amp hour. It is a measure of a battery's energy storage capacity. If you think of a battery as a small fuel storage tank, which in a sense it is, mAh a measure of how much "fuel" the battery holds.

So, the 1100 is perfectly compatible and will last longer.

plenty on E-bay Jazz but as Omah said a 1100 will last longer

Ok guys, thanks! I just wanted to be sure the 1100 would be ok.

Even at 1100 you're still not going to get much shooting time.

Spend a whole lot less on making a simple external battery pack which you can attach to your belt. You'll get many hours of shooting time that way.

Here's a couple of good links on people who have done this. II think it's quite common.
