edmkoz,

I confirm that Panasonic is taking care of the tab breaking problem without charge. The rental company really needs to show you the receipt. It is a known problem and Panasonic is taking responsibility for it. Peter, San Diego

Yes, those are the little rascals in question. The battery I am referring to does stick out past the camera a bit but it is a panasonic battery I believe. At least it is the battery that came with the camera and is offered generally as a long play battery solution for this camera.

Noah,

Did you also break your tabs in fairly short order after starting to use the camera? Is anyone from Panasonic reading this thread? I wonder if this would be considered a warranty item?

Thanks,

Peter

Just returned from a field shoot with a brand new HVX-200 camera. The battery tabs were broken within 2 hours of our first shoot. We are using the larger batteries but the tabs seem remarkably flimsy and weak. It appears that the tabs are part of the housing and will be difficult to replace. Comments?? Peter
