problem with 1988 RCA camera?

Q. The 2hr battery charges full time but it only lasts about 7mins. How do I fix this? DO NOT TELL ME TO GET A NEW CAMERA. I'm 14 and its the only camera i can afford. I love being able to pull out the vhs tape and go strait to the tv without uploading or burning a disk. How do I fix this I want to record the super moon tomorrow.

Please don't make fun of me, I have already had comments such as "Here comes channel 10.".

A. Hi "N.A.":

First, you only need to ask a Y!A Question once. Not three times in a hour in the same Category. All the Y!A regulars check the unanswered Questions list. Learn some patience; you're probably still asleep right now. There's still twelve hours til the "super moon" comes up. [And guess what? The moon's coming back up on Sunday night, too! Betcha can't tell the difference.]

And there will be a "super moon" next year (June 23), just like last year: http://www.space.com/11178-supermoon-photos-2011-skywatcher-images.html

Fellow Contributor "AV Daddy" has given the most-practical advice on one of your other Q&A's on this topic: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmpyZmYVvfBNxCv7LVOvTa6SHwx.;_ylv=3?qid=20110210042937AAK6CVa [Use an extension cord & power the camera from the charger. I'd add "Take the bad battery out, so it doesn't load-down the power supply."]

Second, on your other two Questions, you don't need to YELL in all caps. That piece of courtesy is older than the internet (I come from the old dial-up BBS community days.) We could tell you were "14" without you even telling us. Don't act like a little screaming kid, and you won't get treated like one.

Third, feel free to use the "Additional Details" link to tell us exactly what model # RCA VHS Camcorder it is (it's on the bottom plate where the tripod mounts). And what the exact model # is on the "charger" unit. Some folks (like me) actually owned and worked on those camcorders back then, and can tell you if the charger can be used as an external power supply (with an extension cord) to get you through your project tonight.

And stick around for the meteor shower caused by Halley's Comet debris, after you're done staring at the moon. "Super moon" will hit actual perigee & fullness around 11:35p EDT, but the atmosphere & optical illusions will make it look redder & "bigger" at moonrise (just after 7:45p EDT). If you get clouds, then set your alarm for 5am and watch it set in the west.

hope this helps,
