Hi this item has come part of a repossession. I have purchased a charger to test and item switches on as in photos. I cannot do any further testing and therefore it is sold as seen with no returns. Auction is for the camcorder and charger. We couldn't locate the battery. If you would like you are most welcome to view before purchasing. I'm in Manchester. Good luck and happy bidding. Please only bid if you have read the description and are happy to purchase as I don't want to waste either of our time and effort 🙂
