Chosen Solution
I just bought a beta movie BMC-220 and it didn’t come with a battery. I don’t know much about batteries, but with some research, the closest answer I’ve gotten is a NP-11 battery. That’s a rechargeable battery and I’ve seen lots of NP-22 and -55, but not very many -11s. Are they interchangeable? And do they all recharge from the same charger? Do all rechargeable batteries recharge with the same charger? What is the rechargeable battery/charger ratio? Is the NP-11 even the right battery for a BMC-220? I know this is a lot of questions, but let me know if you can answer any of them. Thank you!
Sheridan Richmond darn I remember having paid a fortune when they first came out. It was like a month pay :-)) Great guide right here. Anyhow, the BMC-220 uses a AC-M110 AC adapter/charging unit and the NP-11 as batteries. The NP-11 was a Nickel-Cadmium 9.6V 1000mAh battery. I don’t see to many NP-11 out there but they can be rebuild. If you are into vintage electronic, might as well get used to doing that as well. Check on here for a rebuild. Of course you can always try and adapt a “modern” RC battery to that. Lots of them out there with proper chargers and all but you may have to modify the power adapter on the Betamovie. Anyhow if you get stuck with anything or need more input, post some good pictures of what’s going on with your camera and power supply, with your QUESTION. Adding images to an existing question NP-22 and -55, but not very many -11s. Are they interchangeable? No And do they all recharge from the same charger? No Due to the difference in physical and electrical dimensions the charger must suit the battery. Do all rechargeable batteries recharge with the same charger? No. Same reason as before.
