    They never last 2 hours, but you can get them at BH photo Power 2000 brand 3600 mAh and also on E-bay really cheap.

    My sony friend says he put a meter to one and it did not spec out, but I have never had any trouble with mine on my Panasonic……and with $200 ea VS. $30 ea, it’s hard to resist.

    The DVXuser.com batteries are an amazing deal to look into as well:

    I’ve got some Power2000 batteries I got for my DVX a couple of years ago, and I’m not too happy with them, they don’t seem to last nearly as long as they should. I’ve got a CGR-D54 that I bought new for $90 from ebay seller “shimwass”, and it’s simply excellent. However, I also some of the DVXUser 5000mah batteries, and there is no better battery deal around. They are the real deal, and at $69, they’re very affordable too. Two of those will power a camera all day, especially if you put one on the charger while you’re using the other. I believe Jarred is also releasing a new 5600mah version, which would make it the biggest, longest-lasting battery available for the DVX.
