Camcorder battery

Post by FotherMucker99 »

I'm looking for a VW-VBG260 battery, not the original one as it's very expensive.

There's plenty on ebay, but it's just the usual Chinese quality.

Looking for shops within Europe or shops which ship to Europe.

How come you think $35 US Dollars for a new battery is VERY expensive to you?.. to me that is a steal! I take it you have a Panasonic camcorder then?. Please tell me more about it thanks.

35$ is pretty cheap, but that's not the price of an _ORIGINAL_ VW-VBG260!
The cheapest I found was 99$, but I was not sure if it's really the original one from Panasonic!

edited I can get the battery here in the USA for $49.99 US dollars it is a after market battery but it is brand new and not that expensive. of course getting a OEM battery from panasonic will cost alot more.

thanks cj, I already know that guy, but I'm suspecting it's a replica since he's from China and all the auctions are set to private :/

Well, I've found an original Panasonic battery for only 89,90 $, but I'll need somebody to ship it over to Austria.

Anybody in here who could do this via work or something like that :P
