My vixia hf100 won't hold a charge. The light blinks when its plugged in but it never actually charges. Should I get a new battery or is it an issue with the charger?

Thanks for posting!
While our Forum Community members are welcome to chime in, the Canon VIXIA HF100 has been retired. That means we do not offer support for the printer or updated drivers.

How old is the battery? It could be a case of it reaching its end of life if has been used for a long period of time. I would first try a new battery first.

Greetings,
Hard to say why your camera will not operate. Its approaching 15 yrs old. A new battery would be the first thing I try. It takes a BP-809. Given its age, I'd go with a hi-quality equivalent. They can be had for $15~$30. See if that resolves the issue.
If it doesn't, I would consider a replacement camera. Something more modern. Video technology has improved greatly in the past 15 years.
