Everything has been Tested to work. It records, plays and transfers video as it should. You get everything you need to perform all this. Charger, new transfer cable, bag, and battery (bag and transfer cable not shown). Battery probably wont hold a charge and has not been Tested. You DO NOT need a battery to transfer video, just plug power cord in and transfer cable to TV or computer. you will.need an adapter for computer. If you plan to create video, you should buy new batteries. Most people buy 3. They are not expensive.
