It took a bit longer than expected, likely due to the holiday season, but that was understandable. So far, the battery seems to be working well!

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.

Sears 5368 / 5369 / 5370 / 53683 Series — 12V Ni-MH 1800mAh Replacement Battery

This is a 12V, 1800mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for Sears digital cameras including the 5368, 5369, 5370, and 53683 models. It delivers the same voltage and capacity as the original cell. Capacity is rated at 21.6Wh.

  • 5368 / 5369 / 5370 / 53683 compatibility: These models share the same 12V battery rail and connector format, so one cell covers the full group without modification or adapters.
  • Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through full charge and discharge on camera hardware. The BMS accepted the cell without fault codes, and voltage held steady through the discharge curve.
  • First-use charge cycle: On first install, run one full charge via the OEM charger or camera body before shooting. Some camera BMS systems only calibrate the battery-remaining display after completing a charge cycle from inside the body itself.

Camera showing dead battery indicator on a partially charged replacement cell

Ni-MH cells have a flatter discharge curve than many camera BMS systems expect. The camera reads voltage, maps it to a percentage, and can show empty when the cell still holds usable charge. This happens most often on first install before the BMS has seen a full cycle. Run one complete charge from 0 to 100% in the camera body and the indicator will track correctly from the next use.

Battery percentage jumping erratically on the camera display

When the camera's voltage-threshold mapping doesn't match the discharge curve of a new cell, the percentage indicator can jump forward or backward mid-shoot. This is a calibration issue, not a fault with the cell. Force a full discharge until the camera shuts off, then charge to 100% without interruption. After one full cycle the indicator stabilises and tracks the actual remaining charge accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Sears 5368 shows "no battery" even after I installed the new cell — what's happening?

The camera's BMS runs an authentication check on first install and sometimes rejects a new cell until it sees a charge cycle complete inside the body. Pop the battery in, connect the OEM charger directly to the camera, and let it charge fully to 12V before powering on. That one cycle is usually enough for the BMS to register the cell as valid.

Shot count is much lower than I expected — the battery drains faster than the original did when it was new.

Flash recycling, continuous autofocus, and optical stabilisation all draw current simultaneously, and that combined load exceeds the spec shot count, which is measured under controlled single-shot conditions. Ni-MH cells also deliver full capacity only after two or three full charge-discharge cycles — a brand-new cell hasn't broken in yet. Run two complete cycles and track shot count again before drawing conclusions about the cell's capacity.

The flash isn't fully recycling between shots on the new battery — there's a noticeable delay.

Flash capacitor recharge pulls a short, high-current burst from the cell between every shot. If the cell's internal resistance is slightly elevated — common in the first few cycles of a new Ni-MH cell — that burst causes a brief voltage sag and the capacitor takes longer to reach full charge. Complete two full charge-discharge cycles to condition the cell and reduce internal resistance. If the delay persists after conditioning, measure resting voltage after a full charge — it should sit at or above 12V.
