Beware if this is an InfoLithium battery. OEM versions may not work, as
Sony batteries have an internal code, which is changed occassionally.

I tried 4 or 5 OEM InfoLithium batteries before I got one that worked

Hi there,
I have the Sony DCR-HC 32 and I personally don't need another batttery
because the on that came with it is just enough for an 80 min tape if you
only use the viewfinder and not the LCD screen.Notice, however that you
should buy an original sony battery and not some generic, because the sony
camcorder batteries have a microprocessor implemented and it could be even
dangerous, because Lithium reacts violently if it is exposed to air...
