Creative NP-60 DiVi CAM 428 Compatible Battery 3.7V 1050mAh

Creative DiVi CAM 428 — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (NP-60)

This is a 3.7V 1050mAh Li-ion replacement battery for the Creative DiVi CAM 428 compact digital camera. It uses the NP-60 form factor and slots directly into the camera's battery compartment. Voltage and physical dimensions match the original cell at 53.20 × 35.30 × 7.10mm.

• NP-60 form factor compatibility: The DiVi CAM 428 uses the NP-60 cell format — a flat, slim Li-ion pack common to compact cameras of this size. The voltage rail sits at 3.7V nominal, which is what the camera's power circuit expects. No adapter or modification needed.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on NP-60 compatible equipment. The BMS held cutoff at the correct low-voltage threshold and accepted a full charge without thermal event or early termination.
• First-use charge cycle on the DiVi CAM 428: Run one full charge cycle inside the camera body or OEM-compatible charger before heavy shooting. Some compact camera BMS implementations need a charge cycle initiated from within the body before the battery-remaining indicator tracks accurately.

The DiVi CAM 428's fuel gauge maps voltage thresholds to a percentage or icon display. A fresh replacement cell has a slightly different discharge curve than a worn original, so the camera can misread remaining charge and throw a low-battery warning early. This is a calibration issue, not a faulty cell. Run the battery down fully, then charge it completely in one uninterrupted cycle. After one full cycle, the indicator typically stabilises and tracks correctly.

Sustained video on the DiVi CAM 428 draws current continuously from the sensor, processor, and display simultaneously — unlike still shooting, which spikes and pauses. This combined load raises cell temperature faster than normal still use. The NP-60's BMS will trigger a protective cutoff if internal temperature exceeds safe limits, which can look like a sudden power-off. If this happens, let the camera cool to room temperature, then resume. Avoid blocking ventilation slots on the camera body during video sessions.
