Blaupunkt SCR-250 Compatible Battery 4.8V 1200mAh Ni-MH

Blaupunkt SCR-250 — 4.8V Ni-MH Replacement Battery

This is a 4.8V, 1200mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the Blaupunkt SCR-250 camera. It fits directly into the camera body and restores power for photography and video recording. Capacity figures are drawn from the product specification — 1200mAh at 5.76Wh.

• SCR-250 platform fit: The SCR-250 uses a 4.8V Ni-MH cell in a specific form factor — 73.60 x 46.06 x 19.29mm. This replacement matches that voltage rail and physical envelope so the battery seats correctly in the compartment and closes the contacts at the right geometry.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on the bench, monitoring the BMS response at full charge termination. The cell accepts charge cleanly and the voltage holds steady across the discharge curve without premature cutoff triggering.
• First-cycle charge in the camera body: Some camera BMS systems map battery-remaining percentage against a known discharge curve. On first install, run one full charge cycle from inside the camera body or the OEM charger before shooting — this allows the camera's indicator to calibrate correctly to the new cell's voltage profile.

Battery percentage jumping erratically on the SCR-250 display

The SCR-250 maps its battery indicator to voltage thresholds from its original cell's discharge curve. A new Ni-MH cell discharges on a flatter voltage plateau than an aged cell, so the camera's percentage readout can jump — showing 80%, then dropping to 40% within a few frames. This is a calibration mismatch, not a fault with the replacement cell. Run one full charge-to-discharge cycle in the camera and the indicator will settle as the BMS learns the new cell's curve.

Flash not fully recycling between shots after installing a new cell

The flash capacitor draws a sharp burst of current to recharge between shots. On a Ni-MH cell that has not completed a conditioning cycle, internal resistance can be slightly elevated, causing a brief voltage sag that slows capacitor recharge. You will notice longer intervals between the ready-to-shoot indicator lighting up. Complete two full charge-discharge cycles — internal resistance drops measurably after the first two cycles, and flash recycle speed returns to normal. Confirm the cell is reaching at least 5.4V at full charge before shooting in flash mode.
