Generic battery for Canon Vixia HF S20 Camcorder

Mar 6, 2011 3:38AM PST

I bought the Canon vixia HF S20 camcorder. I'm looking for generic battery since the canon batteries are very expensive. I'm more interested in BP-819 or BP-827 models. Any one suggest the generic brands for these models? Thanks

A few years ago battery fires and more made the news. Since there is a liability issue many makers locked out using non-maker batteries so be sure whoever sells it will take it back if it's not working.

As to where I got my Canon battery it was at amazon.

Thank you Bob. I was looking on Amazon and found one for $20. I'll wait for one or two days before order it in case if any one tried a battery that works for hf s20 camcorder
