Revue DC 600 Slim Replacement Battery 3.7V 850mAh Li-ion

Revue DC 600 Slim / DC 5600 Slim — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery

This 3.7V 850mAh (3.15Wh) Li-ion cell replaces the original battery in the Revue DC 600 Slim and DC 5600 Slim compact digital cameras. It fits the same physical footprint at 40.20 × 35.30 × 6.10mm and slots directly into the battery compartment. Capacity matches the product data exactly — no inflated figures.

• DC 600 Slim and DC 5600 Slim compatibility: Both models share the same battery bay dimensions, connector orientation, and 3.7V supply rail. The BMS in each body reads cell state the same way, so one replacement cell covers both variants without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on a camera body representative of the DC Slim platform. The BMS accepted the cell, reported charge state correctly after one full charge cycle completed inside the camera body, and held voltage within the expected discharge curve throughout the test.
• First-install charge cycle on the DC Slim body: Run the first full charge cycle through the camera body itself, not a standalone external charger. The DC Slim BMS maps its battery-remaining display to a discharge curve calibrated during that first in-body charge. Skipping this step can cause the indicator to read erratically from the first shoot.

Battery percentage jumping on the DC Slim display after fitting a new cell

The DC Slim uses a voltage-threshold method to estimate charge remaining. A new cell has a slightly different discharge curve profile than a worn original, so the camera's indicator can mis-map the thresholds early in the cell's life. This shows up as the percentage skipping — jumping from 80% to 50% in a single shot burst, or stalling at 100% then dropping suddenly. One complete charge-to-discharge cycle inside the camera body recalibrates the threshold mapping. After that cycle, the indicator tracks the new cell accurately.

Flash not fully recycling between shots on a new DC Slim battery

The capacitor that drives the DC Slim flash recharges by drawing a short high-current pulse from the cell after each shot. If the cell voltage sags under that pulse — common when a cell is cold or has not yet completed a break-in cycle — the capacitor does not reach full charge before the next exposure. The result is noticeably weaker flash output or a longer-than-normal recycle delay. Warm the camera to room temperature and complete one full charge cycle in-body first. If recycle lag continues after that, check that the battery contacts in the compartment are clean and making firm contact.
