    Why Canon DC301 Camcorder battery pack will not charge?
    • D
      debbieforbesAug 25, 2025
      If your Canon Camcorder battery pack will not charge, make sure you are charging it in temperatures between 0 °C and 40 °C. If the battery pack has become hot during use, wait until its temperature is below 40 °C for charging to begin. Check that the compact power adapter is correctly connected to the camcorder. If the issue persists, try using a different battery pack, as the current one might be damaged.

If the memory card was not initialized, initialize it. If the folder and file numbers have reached their maximum value, set [FILE NOS.] to [RESET] and insert a new memory card. If you are using an SD or SDHC memory card, check the write-protect switch and change its position.
