It fits the Olympus DS-5000ID, DS-5000, DS-2300, and DS-3300 digital dictation recorders. These are handheld audio recorders used for professional transcription and voice memo capture — not cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDS-5000 \/ DS-2300 \/ DS-3300 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share a common 2.4V two-cell Ni-MH battery bay and the same physical form factor — 46.10 × 21.00 × 11.00mm. The connector and contact orientation are identical across the series, so one cell covers the full range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through record and playback loads on a DS-5000. The BMS accepted the cell without prompting a fault or low-battery cutoff at normal operating voltage. Charge termination via delta-V detection behaved correctly in the OEM charger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNi-MH conditioning on dictation recorders:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Olympus DS-series recorders are often left in a dock charger between uses. Continuous trickle charging degrades Ni-MH cells faster than it would Li-ion. Rotate full charge-discharge cycles every three to four weeks to slow capacity fade in the new cell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the DS-5000ID shows a low-battery alert immediately after fitting a new cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells ship in a partial or depleted state. The DS-5000ID reads terminal voltage to estimate charge level — a new, uncharged cell sits below the device's threshold and triggers the alert on first boot. This is not a fault with the replacement cell. Place the battery in the OEM cradle charger or the device itself for a full charge cycle before use. After one complete charge, the voltage-based indicator should read correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eDS-5000 powering off mid-recording with no low-battery warning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis typically happens when the cell has developed high internal resistance — either from age, memory effect, or extended trickle-charge storage. Under record-mode load, voltage sags sharply across that internal resistance and drops below the device's cutoff threshold before the indicator registers low. The fix is a full discharge-then-charge cycle to recondition the cell. If the behaviour persists after two conditioning cycles, measure resting terminal voltage — a healthy 2.4V Ni-MH cell should read at least 2.55V fully charged at rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43333814681690,"sku":"BWCS-BR403-1","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43333814714458,"sku":"BWCS-BR403-2","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43333814747226,"sku":"BWCS-BR403-3","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-BR403_1.webp?v=1778213245","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/olympus-ds-5000id-replacement-battery-24v-800mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
