It slots into the same battery compartment as the original DB-20 and DB-20L cells. Voltage, capacity, and connector match the OEM specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDB-20 and DB-20L platform:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The RDC-i500, RR1, RDC-6000, and RDC-7 all share the same 3.7V battery rail and DB-20 form factor — Ricoh used this cell across several compact models from the same generation. The connector orientation and BMS handshake protocol are identical across this group.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through the RDC-i500 body using an OEM charger. The BMS accepted the cell without fault flags and regulated charge termination cleanly at full capacity. Discharge tracking held consistent across multiple cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-install charge cycle on the RDC-i500:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Insert the new cell and run one full charge cycle directly through the camera body or OEM charger before heavy shooting. The RDC-i500's battery-remaining indicator calibrates against the cell's discharge curve during that first cycle — skipping it can cause the display to read inaccurately for several sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eFlash recharge lag on a fresh DB-20 cell mid-shoot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe RDC-i500 flash capacitor draws a sharp recharge current spike after each shot. If the cell's internal resistance is elevated — common in a new cell that hasn't completed a break-in cycle — the camera body may throttle flash recycling speed. This shows up as a longer-than-expected wait between flash-ready confirmations. Running two or three full charge-discharge cycles brings internal resistance down and restores normal flash recharge cadence. After break-in, flash recycle time should return to the spec interval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery percentage jumping erratically on the RDC-i500 display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens when the camera's fuel gauge hasn't mapped its voltage thresholds to the new cell's discharge curve. The OEM indicator was calibrated against an aged original cell, so a replacement with a flatter discharge profile reads unpredictably at first. It is not a fault in the cell. Charge the battery to full via the camera body, then shoot until the low-battery warning triggers — one full cycle from 100% down to cutoff resets the threshold mapping and stabilises the readout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43333573935194,"sku":"BWCS-RDB200FU-1","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43333573967962,"sku":"BWCS-RDB200FU-2","price":50.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43333574000730,"sku":"BWCS-RDB200FU-3","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-RDB200FU-1.webp?v=1778212955","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/ricoh-caplio-rdc-i500-replacement-battery-37v-2400mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
