Kodak KLIC-7003 EasyShare M380 Compatible Battery 3.7V 1050mAh

Kodak EasyShare M380 / V803 Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (KLIC-7003)

This is a 3.7V Li-ion replacement cell rated at 1050mAh (3.89Wh), built to the KLIC-7003 specification. It fits the Kodak EasyShare M380, M381, V803, and V1003 digital cameras. The cell dimensions are 43.95 × 31.27 × 7.82mm — a direct physical match to the OEM battery slot.

• EasyShare and V-series compatibility: The M380, M381, V803, and V1003 all draw from the same 3.7V rail and use the same KLIC-7003 form factor. The connector orientation and BMS communication protocol are identical across this group, so one cell covers all four bodies.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through a full charge and discharge sequence, monitoring BMS cutoff thresholds. The protection circuit tripped correctly at the low-voltage floor and accepted charge without error on a standard KLIC-7003-compatible charger.
• First charge cycle on new cell: Run the first full charge inside the camera body or OEM charger — not a third-party multi-bay. Some EasyShare BMS firmware maps the battery-remaining display to a charge curve it only calibrates during the initial in-body cycle.

Flash recycling slowing down before the cell reads empty

The V803 and V1003 use a xenon flash capacitor that pulls a short, high-current spike from the cell to recharge between shots. As the cell voltage sags toward the lower end of its discharge curve — around 3.5V under load — the capacitor takes longer to reach full charge. The camera body may still show two or three bars on the indicator while recycle time visibly increases. This is normal cell behaviour, not a fault with the replacement. If recycle lag becomes significant, the cell is near its practical discharge floor.

The EasyShare BMS runs a handshake check on new cells, and a cell that has never completed a charge cycle inside the camera or OEM charger can fail that check on first insert. Remove the battery, place it in an OEM-compatible charger until the indicator shows full, then reinsert. If the error persists after one full external charge, charge the cell directly inside the camera body via USB until the in-body charge indicator completes — this writes the calibration reference the BMS needs to recognise the cell.
