Ricoh DB-60 Caplio GR Digital Replacement Battery 3.7V 1150mAh

Ricoh Caplio GR Digital Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (DB-60)

This 3.7V, 1150mAh Li-ion cell replaces the DB-60 and DB-65 in the Ricoh Caplio GR Digital and GR Digital II, plus the Caplio R3, R30, and 19 additional Ricoh compact models. It is a straight swap for a depleted or worn original cell. Voltage and capacity match OEM spec exactly.

• GR Digital and Caplio R-series compatibility: These models share the same 3.7V single-cell architecture, DB-60/DB-65 form factor, and contact layout. One cell works across the full range because the BMS in each body reads the same voltage thresholds and connector pinout.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on a Caplio GR Digital body. The BMS accepted the cell on first install, charge termination triggered correctly at 4.2V, and the low-battery indicator fired at the expected voltage threshold.
• First charge cycle on a fresh cell: Charge this cell inside the camera body or OEM charger before your first shoot. Some Ricoh bodies require an in-body charge cycle to calibrate the battery-remaining display to the new cell's discharge curve — skipping this step can cause the indicator to read inaccurately from the start.

The GR Digital maps its battery icon to voltage thresholds tied to the original cell's discharge curve. A new third-party cell can sit at 3.9V — well above cutoff — and still trigger the low-battery warning because the body hasn't mapped the curve yet. This isn't a fault with the cell. Running one full charge-to-discharge cycle inside the camera body resets the indicator mapping, and the readout will track accurately after that.

Battery percentage jumping erratically mid-shoot

If the percentage display jumps — say, from 60% to 20% in a single shot — the camera's voltage-to-percentage lookup is out of sync with the new cell's discharge profile. This happens most often when the first charge was done in an external third-party charger rather than the camera body. Remove the cell, place it in the camera, and let the body charge it fully to 4.2V. After one complete in-body cycle, the percentage tracking stabilises.
