| Spec clearly says "VF0570 Vado camcorder", not for the new Vado HD models. It works great as described. |
Creative Labs Vado litium-ion battery

The Li-ion battery is a good purchase.
However special attention should be paid when buying more than one.
What I mean by this statement is: IF you intend on having more than one battery to swap out and use continuously (or having it as a spare when the one in the camera runs low ) that's fine. BUT.. If you are buying it to have when the old battery dies on you, you need to know about Lithium-ion batteries.
The battery has about a 2 to 3 year life span. What I mean is, as soon as the battery comes off the production line it's life span starts. Most of these batteries do not have a manufacturers date on them (or date they were made).
Thus you could buy a battery that's been sitting on a shelf somewhere for who knows how long. Remember only get an extra battery IF you intend on using it right away.
Don't depend on it working correctly after 2 to 3 years.
Another good idea is not to let the battery go completely dead while using, it is best to keep about a 40% charge on it for full life. Running the battery continuously dead and recharging shortens the battery life.
This goes for ANY Lithium-Ion based battery. Remember they are not like normal batteries you can just leave laying around for years and they will work.

| As the other person wrote in his review, this is not the correct battery for the Vado being sold. Tio return would cost as much to buy it. Stay away. what a rip off! |

This Product "Crative Labs VF0570AB was the wrong size battery for the Vado Pocket Video Camcorder, even though your ad said this was the correct battery. Therefore, I can't use it and at the cost, is was not worth trying to return, and there were not stores near by that handled this product or the camera.
Not a happy customer. If you can help me, please feel free to do so. [...] |
