Can you use regular batteries in a kodak z612?

The original battery pack is nothing but 2 AA batteries held together with a plastic holder, you can use regular AA rechargeable batteries and save some money. I had a similar camera with the original battery pack held together with some plastic holder, I simply substituted that battery pack with 2 regular rechargeable common batteries and camera works the same.

My kodak camera requires taking out the battery pack and charging outside of the camera. My batteries have a generic charger I got off of amazon that has a red and green light on it that tells you whent he batteries are fully charged.

If the charger is blown, that might explain why they are not charging.

Are you trying to use AA batteries instead of the recommended battery pack? I would use the recommended battery packs available through amazon.com.

The Z612 works with SD cards, which max out at 2GB. It will not work with larger SDHC cards.

Yes, 2 AA batteries. Just insert them correctly.
They don't last as long as the CRV3 lithium battery pack though

Bought it 3 years ago, still using the same battery after taking 1,000's of pics. I also keep a pair of regular AA's as a back up when I'm away from home

Yes you can., You can need to purchase a wall charger for you r NI-Mh battery the model number of charger is kodak K620 for or if you want a travel charger the model number is kodak K640., Or if your battery is special battery of Ni-MH (KAA2HR) make sure that you will purchased kodak K4500 charger., KAA2HR battery will not charge using a regular wall charger., Check first your battery before purchasing the charger

It is a high-powered camera, also knows as a GREAT camera. Use CRV-3 lithium duracell batteries. I have the same camera and the same "problem", but when I use that battery it lasts forever.

This problem is frequently due to corroded battery terminals inside the camera. Remove the batteries and wipe the terminals with a soft cloth (heavy corrosion may require a fine wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue left in the camera by the cleaning. Clean the terminals on the batteries in the same manner, and then replace them in the camera. This cures most problems, but if it doesn't work for you, check the Kodak troubleshooting guide at:

It uses a simple Q&A format to diagnose problems and propose solutions.

I wish I shared you easy solution feeling. Try a few things Take battery out and clean the contacts at the base of the chamber with a pencil eraser. Ditto on the chamber door. If nothing happens try charging the battery in another charger or another battery. Still dead? Kodak support is the next stop
