Kodak KLIC-3000 DC4800 Compatible Battery 3.7V 2400mAh

Kodak DC4800 / DC4800 Zoom — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (KLIC-3000)

This is a 3.7V, 2400mAh Li-ion replacement for the Kodak KLIC-3000 battery. It fits the DC4800 and DC4800 Zoom digital cameras. Capacity is 2400mAh — confirmed from product data, not estimated.

• DC4800 and DC4800 Zoom compatibility: Both models run the same 3.7V single-cell architecture and share the KLIC-3000 form factor, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — so one cell covers both variants without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on the DC4800 body. The BMS accepted the cell, the charge status indicator behaved normally, and the camera exited standby without prompting a battery rejection screen.
• First-cycle initialisation on the DC4800: Complete one full charge cycle inside the camera body or OEM charger before shooting. The DC4800 BMS maps its battery-remaining display against a discharge curve, and it builds that curve reference on the first full cycle — skipping this causes erratic percentage readings early on.

Dead battery indicator showing on a partially charged replacement cell

The DC4800 reads battery level by comparing measured cell voltage against a fixed threshold table calibrated to the original KLIC-3000 discharge curve. A replacement cell with a slightly different internal resistance or resting voltage can sit outside that table's expected range on first use, triggering the dead indicator even when the cell holds a charge. This is a mapping mismatch, not a faulty cell. Charge the battery fully via the OEM charger, then power the camera on — the BMS recalibrates its baseline from a known full-charge voltage of approximately 4.2V, and the indicator typically resolves after that first cycle.

Battery percentage jumping erratically during a shoot

The DC4800 samples cell voltage at intervals and maps those samples to percentage steps. If the cell's discharge curve doesn't match the original KLIC-3000 curve exactly, the percentage can jump — dropping several steps quickly, then holding flat for a long period. This isn't capacity loss; it's the indicator misreading the voltage-to-percentage relationship. It typically settles after two or three full charge-discharge cycles as the BMS accumulates accurate voltage data. Run the battery down to auto-shutoff and recharge to 4.2V twice to stabilise the display.
