Change The Batteries On A Kodak Easyshare Z1085

An example of a digital camera battery.


The Kodak EasyShare Z1085 can accept three kinds of batteries: the KLIC-800 Kodak rechargeable Li-Ion digital camera battery, a CRV3 non-rechargeable Kodak lithium digital camera battery, or two AA lithium batteries (also non-rechargeable). Your camera battery options will yield, on average, 200 to 300 pictures per charge of the rechargeable battery or per set of AA lithium batteries, or 350 to 450 pictures per CRV3 lithium battery.


Instructions


1. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the Kodak EasyShare camera, directly beneath the shutter button.


2. Press your thumb against the cover to the battery compartment and slide it toward the outside of the camera. This unlocks the compartment, which should automatically flip open once you release it.


3. Tip the old battery or batteries out. Note that they may be hot.


4. Place the new battery or batteries into the camera, taking care to observe the markings indicating orient the positive (+) and negative (-) battery terminals. The positive terminal on a lithium ion camera battery should be oriented toward the inside of the camera. If you're using two AA lithium batteries, the one on the inside of the camera should be oriented with the positive terminal facing into the camera, while the other battery should be oriented in the opposite direction.


5. Fold the battery compartment cover closed against the camera and press it back into place.
