To my knowledge the CCD-V110 is one of the last Sony camcorders before they switched to the crappy SMD capacitors that are all bad by now. The follow-up model, the CCD-V200, is troublesome. I have replaced the cells inside dead battery packs in the past, but combining battery holders is a great idea, much more practical :)
Yeah, I won't even touch the camcorders from that era. Our family camcorder (an RCA Video8, possibly made by Sony around 1992) suffered the bad capacitor fate in the late 90s.
How do you go around digitalization? Another vid? Thank you so much for this one. Will try to remake my battery pack just like that! Thank you for confirming that the voltage can be higher, much appreciated.
I built a battery pack for an RCA CC432 the other day. The DC input takes 9.6v, and NiMH battery packs produce that much. I cut a small hole in the casing, and soldered in a Tamiya connector to the old battery prongs. Now I can charge battery packs with USB and swap them out. The battery packs are attached to the back of the unit with velcro for swapping or recharging.
I did something similar to build a new battery pack for a Compaq Contura 4/25c laptop I got last year, original 90s era NiMH battery was pooched, so gutted it, re-used the internal wiring, used 10x "EBL" 2500mAh AA NiMH cells to create a "12v" pack, and it works perfect, and now is a bigger capacity than it originally was with smaller cells too... :)
I am just working on a LiFePo4 based replacement battery pack for my panasonic NV-180. These cells work super well as a replacement for lead acid batteries. On my other camcorder (NV-M3) I am using a small 12V motorcycle battery on the back, even works with the original charger! :D
i have one of these in a closet, the bag it was in had everything for it, but it just doesn't work and i don't have the money or tools or skill to fix it so it's sitting in it's bag until i can get it to work don't know who bought it first but it's been in my family since 1986
Seeing modern pickups scurrying along the road on the Video 8 recording made me feel as if I was watching a VHS recording of an 80s sci-fi movie
That 8mm unit makes better video better than I expected.
Right? Some things look quite good on it. I think the soft picture on the outdoor scenes was the missing hood ring causing glare.
JUST bought a CCD-V110 from goodwill today will absolutely try this

Adoro il VIDEO8.bel video
The original battery looks like it would fit 2 18650 lithium ion battery's. I did this with an old RCA vhs-c camcorder and it worked perfect.
I considered lithium batteries, and may still try that for stuff in the future. For now, I just wanted to use what I have on hand for cheap.
Oooo thats a big chonky boy (subbed btw)

I use lithium ion AA rechargeable batteries as they run at 1.5 volts.
