Don't be fooled.

This battery claims to have "3 hours recording", but I, like many other people, received a brand new battery and the max time that you can use it for is usually about 2 hours. Even the camcorder projects the amount of time you'll get out of it and it never says more than 120 minutes. If you're expecting this battery to last at least 2.5 to 3 hours, you're out of luck, and you'll need to get the larger capacity, more expensive battery.
Is 3 hours, or really two hours

This battery is advertised as a THREE hour battery. However, after I received the battery and gave it a full charge in-accordance-with the instruction my camera shows it as having a two hour life. It's difficult to tell how long it's lasting because my videotaping is done in short clips at a time. I'm going to buy one more battery, but this time I'll spend a little more and buy a name brand battery. There is truth in the saying you get what you pay for, lower cost equals less time. If I get around to timing the battery life with a stop watch I'll update my review.
3 hours would be nice...

I got this battery to supplement the 1 hour battery that came with my jvc camera. At the very most I get 140 minutes which is better than the 60 minutes I get with the default battery.
Not quite as advertised...

I purchased this battery for a trip to Festival Disney in Florida for my daughters high school marching band trip. I wanted alot of battery life so as to capture as many memories as I could, without having to worry about changing batteries often. Fully charged the battery only showed 120 minutes of power and did seem to last about 2 hours. A bit disappointing. When they advertise 3 hours, one would expect to get what you pay for.
Great stuff for good price...

I purchased this battery as a back-up to the one that came with the camcorder. The great thing about this is, once charged, it can sit in a camcorder for a month without loosing any power. I discovered this last week when I wanted to use the camcorder and was worried that the battery may be dead by now but ...surprise surprise. Its recharge time is very fast.
The only negative part (if I must have to give) is, it's a little bigger then the one that comes with camcorder.
I say go for it.
