Kodak Cherrish C525 Replacement Battery 3.8V 2100mAh

Kodak Cherrish C525 — 3.8V Li-ion Replacement Battery

This 3.8V, 2100mAh Li-ion battery replaces the original rechargeable cell in the Kodak Cherrish C525 parent unit. It restores wireless, portable operation to the parent unit so you can carry it away from the base without losing the camera feed. Voltage and capacity match the original spec directly.

• Cherrish C525 parent unit fit: The C525 parent unit runs a 3.8V single-cell Li-ion supply rail. The BMS in this unit expects a cell within a tight voltage window — feed it outside that range and the unit shuts down at startup. This cell stays within spec across its full discharge curve.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through full charge and discharge on the C525 parent unit. The BMS handshake completed cleanly each time. No false low-battery warnings triggered during the test cycle.
• Post-swap pairing check: After fitting a new battery, the C525 parent unit loses its stored wireless link to the camera unit because power was interrupted during the swap. Power on the parent unit fully before attempting to view the camera feed, then run the pairing sequence from the menu to re-establish the connection.

Parent unit battery draining overnight on the Cherrish C525

The C525 parent unit screen draws significant current when left on continuously through the night. With a 2100mAh cell at 3.8V, sustained screen-on operation is a real load — not a standby draw. The screen timeout setting in the display menu cuts that load between check-ins. Enable it and set the shortest interval you can tolerate to reduce overnight drain.

Night vision feed cuts out or appears dim after battery replacement

The IR LEDs on the C525 camera unit are powered separately, but the parent unit's receiver and display circuitry need stable voltage to decode and render the low-light feed correctly. If the new battery was installed without a full charge first, the cell may be sitting below 3.6V — low enough to cause display instability in night mode. Charge the parent unit to 100% before using night vision. If the feed is still dim, check that the camera unit has not lost its IR activation setting after the re-pair.
