Grundig LC-280 Compatible Battery 7.4V 2600mAh Li-ion

Grundig LC-280 / LC-380HE / LC-835E Series — 7.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery

This 7.4V 2600mAh (19.24Wh) lithium-ion cell replaces the original battery in the Grundig LC-280, LC-380HE, LC-835E, LC-855HE, and nine additional LC-series digital cameras. It fits the same battery bay and connector as the factory cell. Use it as a direct swap or carry it as a spare for longer shoots.

• LC-series shared battery platform: These Grundig camera models draw from the same 7.4V battery rail and use the same physical housing dimensions — 70.80 × 38.50 × 23.20mm. One cell covers the full model spread without any adapter or wiring change.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on compatible LC-series hardware. The BMS communicated correctly with the camera body, passed the charge-state handshake, and held voltage within the expected discharge curve without tripping the protection circuit.
• First-cycle calibration in the camera body: On first install, run a full charge from within the camera body or via an OEM-compatible charger before heavy shooting. Some LC-series bodies only accept accurate battery-remaining readings after completing one full charge cycle with the new cell inside the body itself.

Flash recycling slowdown late in the charge cycle on LC-series cameras

As the cell approaches the lower end of its discharge curve, output voltage drops slightly but measurably. The flash capacitor draws a fixed recharge current, and at reduced pack voltage that recharge takes longer. You'll notice the ready-light taking more time between shots before the battery reads empty. This isn't a fault with the cell — it's the camera's power circuit working within spec. Keeping a second charged cell in your bag is the practical fix for flash-heavy work.

Battery percentage jumping or displaying incorrectly after fitting a new cell

The LC-series battery indicator maps display segments to specific voltage thresholds calibrated against the original factory cell's discharge curve. A new replacement cell can discharge at a slightly different rate through the mid-range, causing the indicator to skip segments or read higher than actual. This usually corrects itself after one or two full charge-discharge cycles as the camera body resets its voltage-to-percentage mapping. If the display still reads erratically after two cycles, discharge to 3.0V per cell (6.0V pack total) before the next full charge to force a full recalibration pass.
