A camcorder is a portable electronic device capable of recording live-motion and audio for extended periods of time, normally around two to three hours. The information recorded on the camcorder can then be played later, or transferred to VHS, DVD or computer files. Camcorders are powered by rechargeable batteries. The battery and battery bay contain battery contacts. Over time, they gather dirt. They should be cleaned every six to 12 months, depending on usage, to ensure they can properly interact.
Instructions
1. Remove the battery.
2. Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol into the bottle's cap. Dip a cotton swab into the rubbing alcohol until it's damp but not dripping wet.
3. Rub the swab both on the contacts of the battery and the battery bay.
4. Wipe down the battery and bay with an alcohol wipe or cloth dampened with a small amount of rubbing alcohol.
5. Allow all components to fully air dry. Once dry, align the battery contacts with the contacts on the battery bay and press the battery back into play.
