My Kodak Easy Share C340 camera will not hold the charge of our AA batteries

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.

Yeah ,your just need a little money to buy rechargeable li-ion batteries for your cameras ,why make the old batteries not charging enough power affect your shotting,fun can come back after you giving your EasyShare C340 camera a new replacement battery pack.

The C182 isn't a battery charger. It uses standard AA batteries, disposable or rechargeable. If you use rechargeable batteries, you must charge them outside the camera using a standard battery charger.

First start easy share program, than turn on camera, then plug in to usb

there are service to centres across the country...you can take your cam to repair it.but it may be expensive..google search for service centres nearest to your location

You can also try installing the software online by using this website www.kodak.com/go/easysharesw , once you're done make sure that the camera is turned on befor connecting to your computer.

try taking out the batteries, and clean the connectors that the batteries touch, and the ends of the batteries (if recharagable). Sometimes a dirty connector can make the batteries seem that they are dead even if they are rechargable. If the camera works with new disposable batteries but not with the rechargable ones, then you may need to purchase some new rechargable ones.

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

susie, this cannot work as a charger though - just a power supply
