It fits the NP-99 battery slot and is also compatible with R-Hi8, R15, R16, and over 36 additional Ricoh models. Capacity comes from our product specification — 25.2Wh total energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaplio NP-99 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These Ricoh Caplio models share the same 6V Ni-MH power rail and identical battery bay dimensions. The connector orientation and cell count are consistent across the range, so one battery covers the full compatibility list without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through the OEM Ricoh charger and monitored BMS acceptance across charge and discharge phases. The battery reached full charge without error flags and the camera body accepted the cell without authentication rejection on first install.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-use charge cycle for Caplio models:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Ricoh Caplio bodies map the battery-remaining display to a charge curve calibrated during the first full cycle. Charge this battery completely in the OEM Ricoh charger before the first shooting session — skipping this step can cause the indicator to read inaccurately throughout the cell's life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eFlash not fully recycling between shots on the Caplio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Caplio's flash capacitor draws a sharp current spike to recharge between frames. Towards the end of a Ni-MH cell's discharge curve, internal resistance rises and voltage sags under that spike. The camera throttles flash output or extends recycle time to compensate. If shots are coming out darker than expected, check the battery indicator — even if it shows one bar remaining, internal resistance may already be too high to sustain full flash output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery percentage jumping erratically on the Caplio display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eRicoh Caplio bodies use voltage thresholds to estimate charge level, and a fresh Ni-MH cell has a flatter discharge curve than the camera's indicator was originally calibrated against. This mismatch causes the percentage or bar indicator to jump forward or drop suddenly rather than declining steadily. It is not a cell fault — the battery is delivering charge correctly, the indicator is misreading the curve. Run one full charge-to-discharge cycle in normal use and the indicator will track more accurately from the second cycle onward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43333907710042,"sku":"BWCS-NP66-1","price":50.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43333907742810,"sku":"BWCS-NP66-2","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43333907775578,"sku":"BWCS-NP66-3","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-NP66_1.webp?v=1778213590","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/ricoh-np-99-replacement-battery-6v-4200mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
