Kodak KLIC-5000 EasyShare DX6490 Replacement Battery 3.7V

Kodak EasyShare DX6490 / DX7440 / DX7590 Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (KLIC-5000)

This is a 3.7V, 1050mAh Li-ion replacement for the Kodak KLIC-5000 cell. It fits the EasyShare DX6490, DX7440, DX7590, DX7590 Zoom, and over 37 additional Kodak EasyShare models that share the same form factor and connector. Dimensions are 53.20 × 35.30 × 7.10mm — a direct physical match to the original cell slot.

• DX6490 / DX7440 / DX7590 platform fit: These models all draw from the same KLIC-5000 voltage rail at 3.7V nominal. The connector pinout and physical housing are identical across the range, so one cell covers the full group without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on a DX7590 body. The BMS accepted the cell on the first charge cycle, voltage held steady across shutter actuation, and the protection circuit tripped correctly at low-voltage threshold — no unexpected cutoff.
• First-cycle initialisation on Kodak EasyShare bodies: Run one complete charge cycle inside the camera body or OEM charger before heavy shooting. Kodak's battery-remaining indicator maps to a stored discharge curve — skipping this step can cause the gauge to read incorrectly until the camera has logged a full cycle from the new cell.

Flash recycling slowing down mid-shoot on the DX6490 and DX7590

The DX6490 and DX7590 use an internal capacitor to store energy for flash discharge. As the cell voltage drops toward the lower end of its discharge curve, the capacitor takes longer to recharge between shots. This shows up as a longer wait after each flash frame — not a fault, but a sign the cell is running low. If recycling time is noticeably longer than it was an hour into the shoot, the cell is likely under 3.5V. Recharge before the next session rather than shooting it fully flat.

Battery percentage jumping erratically on the EasyShare display

Kodak EasyShare cameras map their battery indicator to voltage thresholds calibrated against the original cell's discharge curve. A new replacement cell may have a slightly different curve shape, causing the indicator to jump — for example, dropping from 75% to 20% in a few shots, then holding. This is a gauge mapping issue, not a cell fault. Run two full charge-and-discharge cycles through the camera body and the indicator will stabilise as the camera logs the new cell's actual discharge behaviour. After conditioning, percentage readings should track consistently.
