Filming setbacks

I recently purchased a Sharp SlimCam VHS camcorder from eBay which I hoped to film with. (camera seen below)

On getting the camcorder, I made the mistake of not testing it out randomly around the house before actually using it to film. So, when it came to filming my first scene on the 2nd of November I made the startling discovery that the battery was completely useless. It would die within about 30 seconds of filming, and as I was filming outdoors - it was a real hassle having to find a charging point to keep the camcorder alive. I returned it to the seller and I'm now on the hunt for finding a new (perfectly working) VHS camcorder.
