Multiple Types of KAA2HR [Posted on 2005-06-12]
I am disappointed in kodak for making multiple versions of the KAA2HR. They really need to create new part numbers or a "dash number" for various mAh ratings. Each battery is a different size and won't fit into all chargers. I first purchased the Radio Shack copies and found they wouldn't fit in my charger. Now I find Kodak makes batteries that don't fit in the Kodak charger either.
All I can say is Kodak is a mess with their batteries, chargers and part numbers. The Kodak brandname now has negative value to me. Stay away and buy good generic AAs.
Love Camera - hate batteries [Posted on 2006-09-17]
I have 3 of these battery packs and none of them hold a charge for more than 1 hr. each. I have the dock for my camera and the wall recharge unit and it still doesn't help. I really wish you would have a battery that will last longer. I've only had my camera(DX6340) for two years and I've bought 3 batteries so I could have backups and they don't do any good. Very disappointed but still love my digital camera. It is so wonderful to work with when the batteries work. I have a lot of fun with it. 7 grandchildren------I guess you've got the picture.
Get the KAA2HR [Posted on 2006-10-19]
I originally posted a positive review of this product, but as I am now purchasing another one, I have looked at the one that I have had success with, and it is actually the 1850mAh KAA2HR, which is a little more expensive, but well worth it. I have had no experience with this less powerful/cheaper battery pack. I would recommend that you pay a little more for a better battery. - Pantucci
SHORT SHORT TERM USE ONLY [Posted on 2006-11-28]
This battery is got to cause more frustration than anything. IMPORTANT to find a battery that will be good for the day not just for less than 40 pictures, thats if your taking them in a row. Shop around for something better if you want to live a little longer.
Don't buy new, replace the cells! [Posted on 2007-12-15]
Our old DX6440's battery pack wouldn't take a charge, so I took the pack apart, replaced the cells with Duracell 2650mah cells by hot-glueing them onto the center plastic piece. Bingo, a much better battery pack.
Then, just to see, I did a quick charge of the old cells just to get some voltage in them and stuck them in my Lacrosse charger for a refresh. The last cycle they showed ~1860-1870mah, much better.
The only thing to really watch is to make sure you glue the pack back together with the batteries positioned properly so the plastic tab hits the switch inside the battery compartment to identify it's a rechargeable pack, then the docks will recharge them.
