Vivitar Vivicam 7410 Replacement Battery 3.7V 1250mAh

Vivitar Vivicam 7410 / 8330 — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (02491-0028-00)

This is a 3.7V 1250mAh Li-ion cell for the Vivitar Vivicam 7410, 8300s, 8330, and 8600 compact digital cameras, plus six additional Vivicam models. It replaces OEM part numbers 02491-0028-00, 02491-0028-01, 02491-0045-00, 02491-0054-01, 02491-0054-02, 02491-0054-05, BLI-315, and 02491-0028-05. Dimensions are 41.95 × 36.05 × 9.80mm — measure your original cell before ordering if you are unsure which variant you have.

• Vivicam 7410 / 8300s / 8330 / 8600 platform fit: These models share the same battery bay dimensions, 3.7V nominal voltage rail, and connector orientation — one cell covers all of them without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on a Vivicam body. The BMS accepted the cell cleanly, held the 3.7V nominal rail through mid-discharge, and triggered the low-voltage cutoff at the expected threshold without false shutdowns.
• First charge cycle in the camera body: Charge this cell fully inside the camera body before shooting. The Vivicam BMS maps its battery-remaining indicator against a full charge curve — skipping this step causes the display to show erratic percentages until one complete in-body charge cycle is completed.

Flash recycling lag on a new Vivicam cell

The Vivicam's flash capacitor pulls a sharp recharge current spike between shots. A new cell at partial state of charge can produce a momentary voltage sag during that spike, causing the camera to delay the ready indicator by one to two seconds longer than expected. This is not a fault with the cell — it happens because the cell's internal resistance is slightly higher before it has been conditioned through a full charge and discharge. After two or three full cycles, internal resistance drops and flash recycling returns to normal speed.

Battery percentage jumping erratically after fitting a new cell

The Vivicam's fuel gauge maps fixed voltage thresholds to percentage steps. A new Li-ion cell has a slightly flatter discharge curve than an aged original, so the camera's lookup table reads the voltage and lands on the wrong percentage step. You will see the indicator skip from 80% to 40% without warning, or hold at 100% longer than expected. This corrects itself after the first full in-body charge cycle — charge to 100% via the camera body, then shoot until the camera shuts itself off, then charge fully again. After that cycle the percentage display tracks the actual cell state accurately.
