Battery life of kodak easy share is 2 pictures ... if that

I have a kodak easy share z1085IS and have recharged the appropriate batteries multiple times only to find that it works for 2 pictures and then the batteries die. Yet if I put the same batteries in a different camera, they are toally fine.

    Check the voltage. I think your camera needs 3.7V and the batteries are only providing 3V

    This problem is normally due to corroded
    battery contacts. Remove the batteries and wipe the contacts inside the camera with a
    clean soft cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a fine wire
    brush, steel wool, or fine sandpaper). Once the contacts are clean,
    remove any specks that may have fallen into the battery compartment
    during the cleaning, clean the batteries, and reinstall them in the
    camera.

    This cures the problem about 90% of the time.

Please check what type of batteries are these.
Z1085 will only work with LITHIUM AA's, Lithium CRV3 (you have to make sure it's not Ni-mh crv3) and a rechargeable KLIC 8000 Lithium-ion battery pack (the blue one). It will not work with any other type of rechargeable battery but KLIC 8000. If you're trying to use ni-mh rechargeables, it will really not work.

SOURCE: Won't hold a charge

what rechargeable batteries are you using and what's your method of charging?

If your using a dock for charging - make sure you have the battery pack kodak kaa2hr otherwise the dock won't charge it

if you're using a separate charger - it's ok to use other AA ni-mh

please check the age of your batteries as well.. batts, even rechargeable eventually wear out - they can last up to 300 charging cycles and a year or a little more than that is enough for you consider buying a new set

if you say that you barely use the cam, batteries still deteriorate through time

SOURCE: new batteries last a couple of hours at most in this camera.

for this camera, I think this model is no longer supported by the kodak technical support, they will direct you only in www.kodak.com/go/camerasupport. to solve this try to clean the metal contacts on the battery compartment using clean lint free dry cloth. try to power up the cam with out the memory card. If this will not correct the problem, my advise is to use recomended batteries for this camera. It is recomended to use Kodak batteries because they are specifically design to power up the camera.

I got the kodak easy share 143 model camera coming brand new off of ebay yesterday,,,but it keeps saying my batteries are half drained, then dead after a couple of photos. Then if they're dead it...

Alkaline batteries just don't have the power for more than a few pictures in today's power hungry digital cameras. Some batteries may also have reached their shelf life at the store, and though brand-new right out of the package may even have problems just powering startup of the camera. The one's that came with your camera are just to show you that the camera works, but as you've discovered, they'll only last for a few pictures. Digital cameras that use AA's for the most part should only be used with modern rechargeable batteries. If you read the camera's instruction manual concerning batteries, you should see the same recommendation.
Modern rechargeable batteries have over 5 times the power density of alkaline batteries (that's right, they last up to 5 times longer than an alkaline battery. And you can recharge them over and over!). Keep in mind rechargeable batteries will save you much money in the long run over alkalines, AND they'll last for at least 100 pictures per charge (and probably many many more). You'll be very pleased with their performance, and may be angry with yourself for not buying them sooner. When at the store, look on the package for a power rating of at least 2500 mah.

My Kodak ZD710 Will only let me take about 11 pics and the batteries go dead, I have used the CRV3 battery pack

Welcome to FixYa.

Kodak lithium digital camera battery CRV3 (non-rechargable) approximately can take pictures up to 500 pictures. However, actual life may vary based on the usage.

How to extend your battery life?

1. Use power saving features (using a power saving modes). Limit activites such as reviewing pictures/videos on the LCD.
2. Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with clean,dry cloth before loading the battery in the camera.
3. Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41 F(5 degree celcius). When using your camera in cold weather, keep spare batteries warm. Do not discard cold batteries; when they return to room temperature, they may be usable.

Please let me know if you have any questions and if this solution was helpful.


Thank you for using FixYa.

My Kodak easy share is 5 yrs old. can I charge it without the printer dock as I want to take it overseas?

Depending on which camera model you have, you can use regular (lithium!) AA batteries in these cameras, no need to buy the specialty 2-battery rechargeable pack and use the printer dock to charge. You can go with regular NiMH rechargeable batteries as well.

My wife purchased for me a Kodak Easy Share Z981. I charged the included batteries and loaded them per instructions. When I turned on the Camera the indicator showed 1/2 battery. I took two pictures and...

Unfortunately, it appears that this may be typical with your model camera. But before returning it, you may want to try it with a different set of rechargeable batteries if available. Have also heard other complaints that Kodak rechargeable batteries and chargers can be the problem.

Kodak Easy Share Printer dock plus. Original

Hi,

you're not completely right. Kodak printer docks normally only charge the Kodak KAA2HR battery pack. It not charges normal Ni-MH rechargeable batteries of any brands.

Batteries are always dead

You need to get some decent rechargeable batteries unfortunately standard batteries are just not good enough and lose their charge very quickly not to mention end up costing you a small fortune to replace.

I recommend NiMH 2500mah recharageable batteries or better (i use Energizer). Makes sure you have another 2 sets full charged and ready to go so you dont get caught out when out and about.

If this helps,please vote...thanks and good luck!

Kodak Easy Share DX 4530 won't hold charge any more.

Yes rechargeables need replacing from time to time (after a few hundred charges) or every couple of years.
You can use standard rechargeables but these wont charge on the dock as there is a little switch in the battery bay which the kodak pack presses.
Standard AAs ar'nt recommended for digital cameras but you should get at least a few shots from a new set of alkalines (maybe not if they are cheapo no Alkaline)

There could be another problem with the camera but if you like the camera its probably worth giving a new pack a try.
If I remember rightly (but check as I don't have a 4530 to hand) the battery you want is a KAA2HR and are available on ebay cheaply if you cant find a low cost one locally

If I can be of further help drop me a line

Best of luck
