Kodak KLIC-7002 EasyShare V530 Replacement Battery 3.7V 420mAh

Kodak EasyShare V530 / V603 Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (KLIC-7002)

This is a 3.7V, 420mAh (1.55Wh) lithium-ion cell built to the KLIC-7002 specification. It fits the Kodak EasyShare V530, V530 Zoom, V603, and V603 Zoom compact digital cameras. The cell matches the original form factor at 37.30 × 27.40 × 6.55mm and seats directly in the battery bay.

• V530 and V603 platform fit: Both camera bodies share the same battery bay dimensions, connector pin layout, and BMS handshake protocol — that is why one KLIC-7002 cell covers all four model variants listed above.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on a V530 body. The BMS accepted the cell without fault codes, and the charge circuit terminated correctly at full voltage.
• First-cycle charging on the V530: Insert the new cell and charge it fully through the camera body or an OEM-compatible charger before your first shoot. Some Kodak BMS firmware requires one complete in-body charge cycle before the battery-remaining indicator maps accurately to the new cell's discharge curve.

Why the V530 shows a dead-battery icon on a freshly installed replacement cell

The V530 uses a voltage-threshold system to estimate remaining charge. A new cell shipped in a partially discharged storage state can sit below the threshold the camera expects at startup, triggering the low-battery icon even though the cell is not empty. This is not a fault with the cell. Place the battery in the charger, run it to full, then re-insert — the icon clears and the indicator reads correctly from that point.

Battery percentage jumping erratically on the V530 display

This happens when the camera's charge-state map — calibrated to an aged original cell — does not yet match the discharge curve of a new replacement. The indicator may leap from 80% to 20% mid-session or show full charge followed immediately by a low warning. Run two full charge-and-discharge cycles through the camera body. After two cycles, the firmware recalibrates its threshold points against the new cell and the percentage display stabilises.
