Using the Battery

  • Your camera uses 1 KODAK Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery. This battery can be purchased on our Web site at
    http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories.

  • Do not touch the battery terminals with metallic objects.

  • Do not place the battery on or near fires, stoves, or other high-temperature locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunshine, or use or store the battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode, or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and shortened life expectancy.

  • Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging, or storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color, changes shape, or appears abnormal in any other way. Contact your sales location or Kodak if any of these problems are observed.

  • It is important to use only a Kodak-specified (5V DC) AC adapter with your camera dock. Using a different adapter or one with a different voltage could damage your camera and battery.

  • Use care when replacing the battery in the camera. If the battery is incorrectly replaced, there is a danger of explosion. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

  • Do not recharge the battery for longer periods of time than specified. Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the specified charging time. Doing so may cause the battery to become hot, explode, or ignite.

  • Remove the battery when the camera is stored for extended periods of time. Store the battery in a dry cool place and attach the cap.

  • Always follow your battery manufacturer's directions fully. Do not attempt to disassemble, short circuit, or subject the battery to high temperature or fire.

  • When using your camera on battery power, we recommend you limit continuous LCD Preview or Review to less than 10-minutes per session.


  • When disposing of batteries, follow the manufacturer's instructions and any local and national regulations. Kodak suggests customers take advantage of any community battery recycling programs that may exist in your area. Contact your local waste remover or recycler for details.

  • Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer. Keep all batteries out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to remove the battery from the charger or the digital camera.

  • Discard used battery according to the manufacturer's instructions and all applicable local and national regulations. Utilize established community battery recycling programs where they are available.

  • In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, contact Kodak Health, Safety, and Environment Information at 1-716-722-5151 in the U.S. In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks inside the camera, U.S. customers can contact the Kodak Information Center (KIC) at 1-800-242-2424. Customers outside the U.S. can contact their local Kodak Customer Service representative.

  • When removing the battery, allow it to cool before touching, since the battery may be hot.
