Hi all,

I recently bought a VW-LDC10E light for my NVGS250. I don't have a battery for it but was considering buying the CGA-DU21. I have the CGA-DU12 battery that is used to power the camcorder but I assume that I can't use that for the light since the only compatable batteries according to the manual are the CGA-DU07, CGA-DU14 and CGA-DU21. Still, I used my CGA-DU12 just to test the light and the amount of light I got from it was appaling. Is this because the battery is not compatible or because the light just isn't very good? Further, I have noticed that there are a lot of 'replacement' batteries for sale that can be used in place of the official ones and are available at a fraction of the price. Are these worth buying or is it best to stay away from them? Furthermore, if I get the CGA-DU21 would I need to buy a charger (if so which one) or can I just use the one I use to charge the battery for my camcorder?

Cheers
