https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/Need-battery-for-hfr300/m-p/75610#M4360 Ok so as anyone who has ever owned a vixia hfr300 knows the battery life sucks horribly on the bp-709. What of the larger batteries is the best option I have heard of 718;727;745 but don't know their quality I purchased a couple 3rd party 727 but they only last 10 minutes longer then the canon 709. I have found some decoded 745 that will allow me to see the battery on the LCD but don't want to throw money away if they suck. Please help!
