It fits the Caplio R1, R1S, R2, and RZ1 compact digital cameras. Physical dimensions are 52.00 × 28.40 × 14.50mm — same form factor as the original cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaplio R1 \/ R1S \/ R2 \/ RZ1 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These four Caplio models share the same battery bay geometry and voltage rail. The DB-50 slot, contact polarity, and 3.7V operating threshold are identical across the series, so one cell covers all of them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through the Caplio body and monitored BMS handshake on first charge. The camera accepted the cell, voltage held steady through the discharge curve, and the BMS did not trip at any point during testing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-install charge cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Insert the cell and charge it fully inside the camera body or OEM charger before your first shoot. Ricoh's battery-remaining display calibrates its percentage map during that initial charge cycle — skipping it can cause the indicator to read inaccurately from the start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the Caplio R1 rejects a new DB-50 cell on first install\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Caplio R1's firmware runs a voltage-presence check when a new cell is inserted. If the cell rests at storage voltage — typically around 3.6V — rather than a fully charged 4.2V, the camera may flag it as depleted or refuse to power on. This is a firmware threshold check, not a hardware fault. Placing the cell in the OEM charger for one full cycle before inserting it into the body clears the check on almost every unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery percentage jumping around on the Caplio display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Caplio R-series maps its fuel gauge to a discharge voltage curve calibrated for the original DB-50 cell. A new replacement cell's discharge curve is slightly different during the first few cycles, which causes the percentage indicator to skip or jump — particularly between 80% and 40%. This is not a defective cell. Run two to three full charge and discharge cycles through the camera body and the gauge will track the new cell's curve accurately. After conditioning, the display should step down smoothly without sudden drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43333838864474,"sku":"BWCS-KLIC8000-1","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43333838897242,"sku":"BWCS-KLIC8000-2","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43333838930010,"sku":"BWCS-KLIC8000-3","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-KLIC8000-1.webp?v=1778213259","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/ricoh-caplio-r1-replacement-battery-37v-1600mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
