Kodak Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery/KLIC 8000

After purchasing my Kodak Z812IS almost two years ago, I decided to not use re-chargeable batteries. Eventually I realized that this was just too expensive and gave in and ordered a generic battery and charger to use. Well the generic battery was a real pain and did not even fit in the camera properly. About a year ago, I finally decided to try the Kodak KLIC 8000 battery from Amazon since the price was a great deal.The battery charged right up in the generic charger I had previously ordered. I have used the battery continuously since purchasing it and it is still going strong - quickly recharging and holding its charge very well. In fact, it has performed so good that I just ordered a 2nd Kodak KLIC 8000 to use. Since I travel a lot, I can now keep a 2nd charged battery handy in the event the one I am using dies out, especially when I take a few hundred pictures in one day!The battery is long lasting, dependable, charges easily and quickly (so it is easy to charge 2 in one night), and is a great deal for the price. I would not hesitate to recommend this one.

not brand new as in still in packaging, came in a small plastic bag, but it worked great. I ordered two of them for our Gatlinburg vacation. The two batteries lasted three whole days before I had to charge them. They charge fairly quick and just to give an idea of how much battery life that is, I love taking photo's. I came home with over 2000 pic's and had deleted many that didn't come out right, plus I never let my camera turn off. I kept it on and active the whole time. In all I probably took close to 3000 pictures and had my camera on for 12- 14 hours a day. I know others have had problems and I guess it's just luck of the draw, but for the price it was worth the risk since my original battery would only stay charged for 2 hours. That's not expectable on a trip into the mountains. I recommend buying in enough time you can exchange if necessary, as I did not, thankfully I got lucky and both batteries work great.

When we bought the new camera we didn't really think much about the battery. After getting the camera and realizing it took a specific type of battery I went shopping for an extra battery or two. I was shocked by the price so I ordered two of the cheapest batteries I could find. Big mistake. Both of the cheap batteries would charge normally but would only last a very short time in the camera. The original battery will last through hundreds of pics but neither of the new ones would last even 50 before the camera would stop working. In fact the original Kodak battery in the camera lasts longer than both of the cheapo batteries put together. So I finally broke down and bought a second Kodak battery and it works great. I have discovered that all batteries are not created equal and even though this battery costs about $7 more than some other brands, it works much longer. Save the frustration and buy a genuine Kodak KLIC-8000. It will outlast two or three of the cheap ones.

Hi There, Yes, the battery is a great battery, and since this particular camera seems to like to consume energy, having a good rechargable battery (and one in reserve) is the way to go. I do suggest (if you don't mind the camera asking you for the date again) pulling the battery after you are done for the day or night shooting. That way it stays charged while the camera doesn't snack in-between shoots.Now the interesting part is whom sold it to me through Amazon. They show the retail packaging, but it comes wrapped in a plastic bag. Bulk? not sure... Used? Hope not!But no retail packaging, but the battery does charge and feeds the camera to take great pictures. I know if there is any problem Amazon will be there, so I am not worried.Buy this rechargable battery for a good price if you need one for your camera. If you have the charger, then add one for a back up. Kodak camera's work forever. This battery will keep you away from the 2 pack of crv3's for $20 or more a pop.I hope this review helps you.

I have only charged this battery twice. Once when I got it and the second time after two celebrations and 4 soccor games about a month later. During the soccer games I take movies, still burst and single shots. I leave the camera on the whole time and I do a lot of zooming. The camera is a Kodak Z812IS. I have 3 other batteries that are li-ion batteries. The best of the 3 last about 2/3 of a soccer game. It is a CRV3 Radio Shack. One of the three was great when I bought it but after 5 charges it only lasted for one Pictures. It is a Power2000 bought at amazon.comb. The third battery is a no name battery that I also bought at Amazon.com. It last about 1/2 a soccer game. With two of the cheaper batteries together I can film one soccer game or go with the Kodak and get 4 games plus two events (Easter and a Birthday).

I ordered the camera accessory kit with my Kodak and it came w/regular rechargables. they didn't last 25 pictures! read the reviews on this Ion rechargable and had to try and aren't I glad I did???! I ordered two so I'd always have a backup. on the 7.1mp setting I'm getting hundreds of pictures no problem before the battery needs to be recharged. excellent battery! too bad they don't include one of these in the accessory kit!update: bought these rechargeable batteries back in May of 2008 and here we are in July of 2012 and one of my batteries has finally died and I need to replace it. These batteries have been wonderful for my EasyShare camera! I always have one in my camera and the other charged and ready to go! I take ALOT of pictures and have never run out of juice. We take recharger w/us when we travel and it's never failed.
