This is two standard Kodak AA NiMH batteries packed into a 'proprietary' dual battery pack requiring their proprietary charger, and is totally unnecessary and very expensive for your Kodak camera.

Don't use speciality battery packs like this Kodak dual. All Kodak cameras use standard AA NiMh individual batteries in pairs or fours. Buy them individually. The best, at 1/3 the cost of this pack, is the Hybrid NiMH type like Kodak Precharged(white type), Sanyo Eneloop, or Rayovac Hybrid. They come ready to use and are charged using any standard AA battery charger, including the one that came with your Kodak Camera. The bigger advantage is they do not self-discharge anywhere near as fast as standard NiMH batteries. Don't by off-brand 'Digital' or other china junk batteries and chargers.

Individual standard AA should fit fine in your Kodak EasyShare Charger, but this charger is a dumb timed charger that can reduce the useable life of your expensive batteries anyway. This is because it does not know when your batteries are fully charged and can overcharge them heating(aging)them up.

Buy a modern 'Smart', or sometimes called 'Fast', charger that charges and monitors each battery for a full charge individually, not in series like dumb timed chargers. Sanyo Eneloop is a good choice here on Amazon for battery and smart charger combos.

Ween yourself off Kodak's, on any other manufacturers, speciality battery 'packs' and chargers. They will kill your pocketbook and batteries. Invest in universally useable batteries and a smart charger for use in all standard home application for batteries like any and all cameras, toys, radios, CD players etc. Sanyo Eneloop battery and charger packages even come with converter adapters that allow you to use AA batteries in you C and D battery applications as well. This covers 'all' your home bases.

I got this battery with my Kodak digital camera. I use the camera at least 5 times a week, and recharge the battery at least once a day -I have been doing this for over 2 years. The battery is definitely losing it's charge now -it only stays charged for 100 photos (which is good anyway)... but the battery instructions say it will last 1000 charges and I have had far, FAR more than that out of it, it is excellent value for money!

Battery works great. Have always enjoyed shopping at Amazon for items that Ebay does not have. Would buy here again.
Thanks, Derrick

Have had good luck with these batteries. They last for a long time. First time with Amazon and it was a good experience. Will use them again.

I am very pleased with the performance of the rechargable battery pack. I have not yet had to recharge it, and I have taken numerous pictures and a few videos. I would have had to replace alkaline batteries at least twice by this time. These should pay for themselves in no time. Why did I wait so long?!!

I was very pleased with the battery I purchased. My camera has a new life and I am enjoying taking pictures again. The battery was brand new just as advertised.

My first one lasted years and we could take it with us on vacation for a week and have charge to spare. I replaced my original with this factory replacement. I wish all batteries were like this one.

I paint murals and walls and must have good pics to share. My Kodak camera started acting up and I thought I would have to buck up and just get a new one.

Turns out that the rechargable battery was the problem, replaced the battery (great deal at Amazon) and Voila! Camera good as new. Whew.

Amazon was the only place that i could find this product. good pric fast delivery thanks

Thanks goes to Dottie Coombs for rectifying a bad battery situation. The first battery shipped, had the bottom of the package slit open, and the battery was worse than my original old battery. Within days of simply stating that I didn't know if I had any recourse, since I hadn't kept the packaging, I received a NEW replacement battery. I will not hesitate to order from Amazon.com in the future, and will recommend friends to do so. Thanks Dottie. -Roxie P.
