I recently purchased a used JTV-59. Of course it came with no battery charger or usb interface. After learning that the XTLive doesn't charge the battery, I googled a replacement charger. A user on one of these forums noted that the battery was similar to a Sony Handycam battery, model # NP-F570 camera.
I just picked a charger up at the local batteries plus yesterday for $30. In stock and works great!

Also available much cheaper on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Battery-Charger-NP-QM71D-NP-QM91D-Batteries/dp/B000KU5CN0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397434696&sr=8-2&keywords=sony+np-f570+charger (I didn't wanna wait)
Now, does anyone know if a generic Ethernet-to-USB adapter will work as a replacement for the USB interface?
Thanks,
T
