Important Battery Information

Battery Replacement Types/Battery Life

Your camera box contains a Kodak EasyShare Li-Ion rechargeable battery, 1700 mAh (KLIC 5001). Actual battery life may vary based on usage.

Optional battery: You can also use a Kodak EasyShare Li-Ion rechargeable battery, 1050 mAh. HOWEVER, the 1050 mAh battery is a lower power battery. Expect approximately 30% fewer pictures per full charge than with the 1700 mAh battery included with your camera.

We recommend using only a Kodak EasyShare Li-Ion rechargeable battery. Not all manufacturer's 3.7V Li-Ion rechargeable batteries are compatible with the camera. Damage caused by unauthorized accessories is not covered under warranty.

Extending Battery Life

• Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:

  • Using Quickview (see Quickview—Reviewing the Picture Just Taken and Quickview—Reviewing the Video Just Taken).

  • Excessive use of the flash.

• Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare camera dock 6000 (see Using the Camera Dock 6000). The camera dock 6000 powers your camera, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for the Li-Ion battery included with your camera.

• Purchase an optional Kodak 5-volt AC adapter to power your camera, or use the one packaged with the Kodak EasyShare camera dock 6000 (see Using the AC Adapter to Power the Camera).

• Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare printer dock 6000 (see Print With or Without a Computer). The printer dock 6000 powers your camera, makes 4 x 6 prints with or without a computer, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for the Li-Ion battery included with your camera.

• Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.

• Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C). Carry spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature, they may be usable.

Battery Safety and Handling

• Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a battery may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
