Cameron & Co DS-CS-VPX700BT surveillance accessory 7.2V 230mAh Ni-MH green

Cameron & Co DS-CS-VPX700BT replacement battery

This 7.2 V nickel-metal-hydride cell supplies 230 mAh capacity for Visonic MCS-710, MCS-720, MCS-730 and PowerMax MCS-700 bell-box units. It replaces original part numbers 0-9912-J, GP250BVH6AMX and PCL00216. The green pack measures 40.00 x 27.00 x 25.60 mm and is supplied new with 100 % OEM compatibility stated by the manufacturer.

Practical limits of the Ni-MH chemistry

Nickel-metal-hydride cells self-discharge faster than lithium types so the pack should be recharged every few months during storage. The 1.66 Wh rating limits run-time on high-draw transmitters, and capacity will fade after several hundred charge cycles. No protection circuit is mentioned, so deep discharge can permanently reduce usable capacity.

Installation notes and common issues

The battery slides into the bell-box compartment and connects via the existing plug; no soldering or tools are required. Polarity must match the original pack — reversing the connector can damage the alarm electronics. Builders who need a second card or higher capacity for extended outage cover should look for a larger pack, as this model is fixed at 230 mAh.
