Kastar LB-060 2-pack Li-ion camera battery 1700 mAh 3.7 V

Compatible camera models

This two-pack of Kastar LB-060 lithium-ion batteries replaces the original power cells for a wide range of Ordro, Pamiel, Praktica, Rekam, Rich, Rollei and Soulycin camcorders. Each unit delivers 1700 mAh at 3.7 V, giving 6.29 Wh of capacity for extended recording sessions. Videographers who need a spare set for long events will find the twin pack convenient. The cells fit the listed HD and DDV series models without modification.

Build quality and daily use

The batteries carry UL1642 and CE safety certifications and include built-in protection against over-charge, over-discharge, over-voltage, over-current and over-heating. Lithium-ion chemistry means no memory effect, so they can be topped up between shoots without reducing cycle life. The compact 3 by 2 by 2 inch form factor slides into the camera’s existing battery compartment and adds negligible bulk. Users simply swap cells when the indicator runs low.

Upgrade considerations

Owners of cameras that shipped with lower-capacity packs will notice longer run times per charge, reducing the number of battery changes during weddings, sports or documentary work. The protection circuitry also guards the camera’s power electronics against voltage spikes that cheaper cells can produce. Buyers whose camcorder is not in the compatibility list should look elsewhere, as will those who need a charger included in the box.
