Kodak KLIC-7004 EasyShare M1033 Replacement Battery 3.7V 800mAh

Kodak EasyShare M1033 / V1233 Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (KLIC-7004)

This 3.7V, 800mAh Li-ion cell replaces the KLIC-7004 battery in Kodak EasyShare compact digital cameras. It fits the M1033, V1233, V1253, V1273, and eight additional EasyShare models sharing the same battery slot and connector. Capacity figures are sourced from the product specification, not estimated from third-party listings.

• EasyShare M1033 and V-series compatibility: These models share the KLIC-7004 footprint, the same 3.7V nominal rail, and identical connector orientation. The camera body's BMS reads cell voltage on insertion — no proprietary authentication chip is involved, so a correctly sized Li-ion cell at the right voltage passes the check cleanly.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through full charge and discharge on the EasyShare platform and monitored BMS handshake at insertion. The protection circuit tripped correctly at low-voltage cutoff and accepted recharge without reset intervention.
• First-cycle BMS calibration on EasyShare bodies: Charge the replacement cell fully inside the camera body or OEM charger before your first shoot. Some EasyShare models recalibrate their battery-remaining display only after a complete charge cycle from within the camera — skipping this step causes the indicator to read incorrectly from the start.

Why the EasyShare battery indicator jumps or reads full then drops suddenly

Kodak EasyShare cameras map battery percentage to a voltage-threshold table calibrated against the original KLIC-7004 discharge curve. A new replacement cell may have a slightly different discharge profile at mid-charge, causing the indicator to skip between levels rather than step down evenly. This is a display calibration issue, not a fault with the cell. Running one full charge-discharge cycle inside the camera body lets the BMS remap the thresholds to the new cell's actual curve.

Flash not fully recycling between shots near end of charge

The built-in flash capacitor on compact cameras like the M1033 draws a sharp current spike to recharge between frames. As cell voltage drops toward the lower end of the discharge curve, that recharge current sags — the capacitor takes longer to reach full charge voltage, and the camera either delays the shot or fires a weaker flash. This is normal Li-ion behaviour at low state of charge, not a cell defect. Recharge when the camera body shows one bar remaining rather than waiting for auto-shutoff.
