There is a cheaper alternative to the CRV3. [Posted on 2008-05-04] There is a cheaper alternative battery for the CRV3. W-Mart sells it. You see, the CRV3 actually contains two AA Lithium batteries packaged together. You will not see that unless you open one up. W-Mart sells it for $9.83. For the same price you can get 4 AA Energizer Lithiums. You then use two at a time. That means 1/2 the price of one CRV3. I was able to shoot 191 pictures, some using flash & LCD screen on with my Kodak Z812is, but this approach cuts your cost in half.
Good NON-Rechargeable Lithium Battery Pack [Posted on 2008-05-28] This Kodak CRV3 Lithium Battery pack simply consists of two Lithium AA batteries packaged together into one unit. This makes it convenient to travel with. The pack has a 3200 mAh capacity (from Kodak's data sheet on their website). It will last quite a while, then you throw it away and buy another one. You can also use regular AA's, or individual Lithium AA's...depending on the price, they may be a better deal.
But the best deal is to pick up a NiMH RECHARGEABLE battery pack from Kodak. It is the same shape and size as this CRV3 disposable one, but you can recharge it up to 1000 times. The rechargeable has a 2100 mAh capacity, meaning it will die in about 2/3 of the time the CRV3 will run, but it is (essentially) free to recharge and reuse again and again. You want model number KAA2HR.
That's all there is to it. Hope this review helps, as I know people have been asking for the specific capacities of the batteries (which can be found on the technical data sheets on Kodak's site). In the end, you will not be disappointed with the CRV3 as a power source, but just be sure to consider the alternatives if you are looking to save some money.
It is better then a AA [Posted on 2008-06-10] My pictures look much better using this battery then AA batteries, even the ones for camera's too. My camera is a Z650 kodak. Its night and day!
Just great!! [Posted on 2008-06-25] I recently spent a whole day taking pictures and short video clips with my camera. This battery held up all day. I am very impressed.
Camera Battery [Posted on 2008-07-17] This is a fine battery but it just doesn't fit my camera. Kodak C340 my
camera book from Kodak recommended it. It is too long for the camera it just doesn't fit so I am stuck.
