Kodak KLIC-7001 EasyShare M340 3.7V Replacement Battery

Kodak EasyShare M340 / V705 Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (KLIC-7001)

This is a 3.7V, 720mAh (2.66Wh) Li-ion cell built to the KLIC-7001 spec. It fits the Kodak EasyShare M340, M1063, M763, V705, and 13 additional EasyShare models. Use it when the original cell no longer holds a charge and you want to keep shooting without replacing the camera.

• EasyShare series compatibility: These models share the same KLIC-7001 footprint, connector pin layout, and 3.7V voltage rail. The BMS handshake is consistent across the lineup, so one cell spec covers the full group without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on EasyShare hardware. The BMS accepted the cell on the first charge cycle via the OEM charger, state-of-charge reporting stabilised by the second cycle, and protection circuits tripped correctly at both voltage extremes.
• First-install charge cycle: Before heavy shooting, run one full charge inside the camera body or OEM charger. Some EasyShare BMS firmware maps battery-remaining percentage only after completing a full charge cycle on a new cell — skipping this step can cause erratic indicator readings.

Flash recycling lag on a fresh KLIC-7001 cell

The M340 and M763 route significant current to the flash capacitor between shots. A new cell at partial state of charge delivers slightly lower sustained current than a fully conditioned cell, which extends capacitor recharge time. This shows up as a longer-than-expected wait between flash shots on a brand-new replacement. After one or two full charge cycles, internal resistance settles and flash recycling returns to normal cadence. If lag persists beyond the second cycle, check that the battery contacts on the door are clean and making firm contact.

Battery percentage jumping erratically on the EasyShare display

This happens when the camera's voltage-threshold indicator maps a new cell's discharge curve differently than the aged original. The EasyShare BMS uses fixed voltage breakpoints to estimate remaining charge — a fresh cell holds voltage higher for longer before dropping, so the percentage can appear to stall then fall sharply. It is not a cell fault. Run two full charge-discharge cycles through the camera and the display will track the new cell's curve accurately. After conditioning, the indicator should step down smoothly rather than jumping between readings.
