Just wanted to confirm if generic batteries charge in the camera or do I have to buy a seperate charger for it

As long as they use the Inteligence System, the answer is yes. I got mine from vhbw-tec on Ebay.

What model number did you get?

VideoGeek · ‎11-21-2017

I have used Watson batteries and they work well. They will charge on the camcorder.

Watson BP-808

Watson BP-819

Watson BP-827

Wasabi is another brand I use and trust.

These batteries seem to be for Canon HF S20. Do they fit in the Canon HF G40?

VideoGeek · ‎03-22-2018

Those work for the HF-G20. The Watson ones for the G40 are the BP-820 and BP-828.

Do 3rd Party or Generic Batteries charge in the camcorder
