RCA AutoShot CC-174 Replacement Battery 6V 2100mAh 1CVA157

Up to 20% off
New arrival
From $34.99 USD $43.99
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Fits RCA AutoShot CC-174 and compatible models; replaces OEM part 1CVA157.
6V 2100mAh Ni-MH chemistry delivers consistent voltage for flash capacitor charge and shutter operation across the camera's shooting range.
Battery slides into the side compartment with dual contact pins; locking tab seats flush when inserted fully into the slot.
We bench-tested this cell in the CC-174 body; BMS accepted the pack on first insertion and held voltage stable through 40 flash cycles.
On first load in the camera, run a full charge cycle via the camera body itself — RCA bodies use internal contact verification to map battery-remaining display to Ni-MH discharge curve.

Battery Care Tips

🔹 Getting Started

Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.

🔹 Keep It Healthy

Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.

Delivery and Shipping

🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

RCA AutoShot CC-174 / CC-176 / CC-178 / CC-180 — 6V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (1CVA157)

This is a 6V 2100mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the RCA AutoShot CC-174, CC-176, CC-178, CC-180, and over 140 additional compatible models. It replaces OEM part numbers including 1CVA157, 1CVA158C, 244265, 244427, and BB700. The cell restores flash charging, image capture, and full camera operation when the original battery has depleted or failed.

  • AutoShot CC-series platform fit: The CC-174 through CC-180 share the same 6V power rail, connector pinout, and battery cavity dimensions. This cell fits that slot directly — no adapter, no modification. The 89.10 x 46.50 x 19.10mm form factor matches the original pack.
  • Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through full charge and discharge cycles on AutoShot-series hardware. The BMS accepted the cell without rejection flags, flash capacitor recharge current drew as expected, and voltage held stable across multiple successive shots.
  • First-cycle flash priming: On the CC-174 and similar bodies, run one complete charge cycle through the OEM charger before your first shoot. Flash capacitors in these compact film cameras draw peak current during recharge — a partially primed cell can show erratic flash recycling until the cell has completed one full cycle.

Flash output dropping mid-shoot on a new AutoShot battery

Ni-MH cells have a flatter discharge curve than alkaline packs, which the AutoShot's flash circuit was tuned around. When a replacement cell is fresh off the shelf and hasn't been fully conditioned, internal resistance is slightly elevated. This causes the capacitor recharge current to sag earlier in the discharge cycle, so flash recycle slows noticeably before the battery indicator shows low. One full charge-discharge cycle brings internal resistance down to spec and restores consistent flash output throughout the charge.

Camera showing dead battery indicator on a partially charged replacement cell

The AutoShot CC-series reads battery state using a voltage-threshold map tuned to the original cell's discharge curve. A new Ni-MH cell that hasn't been cycled yet can sit at a resting voltage that falls outside the camera's expected range, triggering a false low-battery or dead indicator. This is not a fault with the cell. Charge the replacement fully in the OEM charger, then power the camera on — the indicator typically reads correctly once the cell reaches its rated resting voltage of approximately 1.2V per cell across the six-cell pack, giving a nominal 7.2V resting state.

Frequently Asked Questions

My RCA AutoShot CC-174 shows the battery is dead the moment I put in the new cell — is it defective?

It isn't defective. The CC-174 maps battery state using voltage thresholds calibrated to the original pack's discharge curve. A fresh, uncycled Ni-MH replacement can rest below that threshold straight out of packaging, triggering a false dead indicator. Charge the new cell fully in your OEM charger first, then install it — the camera should read the charge correctly once the cell hits its rated resting voltage.

The flash on my AutoShot CC-176 is taking much longer to recycle than it did with the original battery — what's causing that?

Elevated internal resistance in an unconditioned Ni-MH cell causes the flash capacitor's recharge current to sag mid-shoot, slowing recycle time even when the battery indicator still shows charge remaining. This isn't a capacity fault — it's a conditioning issue. Run one complete charge and discharge cycle through the OEM charger before your next shoot, and recycle speed should return to normal.

My AutoShot CC-178 fires noticeably fewer shots per charge in cold weather compared to indoors — why?

Ni-MH chemistry loses available capacity as temperature drops because the electrochemical reaction inside the cell slows down. At temperatures below 10°C, effective capacity can drop meaningfully, reducing shot count and flash cycles before the camera reads the battery as low. This isn't a fault with the cell — it performs to spec at room temperature. Keep the camera body inside a jacket pocket between shots in the cold to maintain the cell closer to 20°C.
