1700mAh 4-Pack Battery and LTD2 USB Charger for JVC Camcorders

In this review the reviewer looks at a practical power kit aimed at owners of older JVC GZ-MS series camcorders who need reliable spare batteries and a flexible charger. The bottom line: this 4-pack combines four 7.4V lithium-ion 1700mAh replacement batteries with an LTD2 USB dual charger, and it stands out because it can charge two batteries simultaneously and uses USB power for convenient on-the-go charging. It is best for travelers, content creators with limited access to mains power, and anyone who needs multiple hot-swappable batteries for extended recording sessions.

Key Features

• High capacity cells: Each 1700mAh lithium-ion battery provides extended runtime for JVC GZ-MS120 and similar camcorders so you can record longer between swaps.
• Dual charging: The LTD2 charger can charge two batteries at the same time, reducing downtime when you have multiple spares to prepare.
• Interchangeable plate: Change the charging plate to accommodate different battery shapes, giving flexibility for variants in the same family.
• USB powered convenience: Charger input accepts Micro-USB or Type-C and works from a 5V 2-3A source, making it easy to charge from a power bank or laptop.
• Charge status display: Intelligent LED indicators show charging status and estimated battery capacity so you can see progress at a glance.
• Portable design: The lightweight charger and included Micro USB cable make the kit easy to carry in a camera bag for field use.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of JVC GZ-MS120R, GZ-MS130 series, GZ-MS90 and similar camcorders who record events, travel, or shoot long-form video and need several ready batteries. It suits creators who prefer USB charging from a power bank or car adapter rather than carrying multiple mains chargers.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need manufacturer original branded batteries for warranty reasons or professional studios that require a charger with AC input and faster OEM charging electronics. Also, if you require batteries with significantly higher voltage or different capacity than 7.4V/1700mAh, this kit is not appropriate.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Includes four 1700mAh lithium-ion batteries so you have multiple spares for extended shoots.
• Dual USB charger lets you charge two batteries at once, speeding turnaround between sessions.
• USB input options and a compact charger make it simple to charge from power banks while traveling.
• LED indicators provide a clear view of charging progress and battery capacity.

Cons

• Charger output is limited to 8.4V 800mA per slot, so charging is not especially fast compared with some mains chargers.
• Includes a Micro USB cable only, so a Type-C cable must be used separately if preferred.
