I have lost the charger for my Camcorder. its a 360 Zoom and the charger is a 9.5 volt battery. The info says its ZR45MCA Digital Video Camcorder. Its a Canon and when i went to best buy to look for a new charger they said I need some sort of serial number to identify the right one. The hole has three small prongs inside and its about 1cm long by 2 cm wide.

I know you can get these on Ebay. Also most NI-MH 9 volt battery charges will charge this battery pack. You can use a 9 Volt Snap Battery Connector with Alligator Clips to bridge the connection between the battery pack and the NI-MH 9 volt batter charger. This is how I charge this battery pack now. You can probably get the 9 Volt Snap Battery Connector with Alligator Clips at a radio shack or on Amazon... as well as a NI-MH 9 volt battery charger.. don't hook up the leads backwards :)
Can you not detach the lead to the charger unit, and plug that directly to the camcorder, to see if its the actual camcorder at fault ?
Near the camcorders power socket, you should see a small picture telling you what power the cam uses - usually around 7 volts, centre positive connection jack plug, at around 900mAh. As long as you get the voltage close, and have enough amps behind it, it will still work safely.
Camcorders are rarely fussy about the exact voltage, but you should never go above 9 volts unless its needs more. Most take the internal power down to 5 volts inside anyway.
The batteries do have a tiny non-replaceable internal fuse, triggered by voltage spikes or overheating, and if that goes, it usually means buying a new battery :(
Batteries can go at any time from the very first second they are used. I've bought many, and had a few that didn't last 2 months from brand new. One high-end type lasted over 9 hours on its very first charge :) and then never worked again after that :(
when you hook the battery to the charger is the charged light comming on.have you a volt meter or a bulb [9 volt] to see if there is any charge in the battery.have you hooked up the camcorder using its mains tranformer to check that the camera is working? if so and it is you may have a circuit protector/fuse gone/blown internally.check the connections on the battery and the charger..hope this is of some help all the best farr64[colin]
you take a 9 volt battery and take a metal paper clip or anything this and metal and connect it from the + side of the 9 volt battery and the - side of the camera batery. take another mateal object and connect it from the - 9 volt battery to the + of the camera battery. hold it for about 30 seconds (it might be easier if someone helps you) and place the camera battery back in the charger. that should give the camera battery enough power to help it boost up its charge and make the flashing stop
Provides AC power. (This is a replacement part.)
