The Kodak M883's battery can be charged in more than one way.
The Kodak M883 is an 8-megapixel digital camera under the company's EasyShare line. Users of the M883 can either recharge the camera by connecting it to a computer's USB port or by using an AV cable plugged into an outlet. The M883 can take up to 10 hours for a full charge and this can be mistaken for a worn battery. Shorten these recharging periods by using the correct software and checking that the battery is in good condition.
Charging with USB cable
Insert the corresponding ends of a USB cable into a computer and the camera. Try inserting the USB cable into a different USB port on a computer to ensure that a previous USB slot isn't faulty or the camera's software was not installed. The camera should be running a firmware version of 1.02 or higher. On the camera, press "Menu." Use the right arrow to click the "Setup" tab or the down arrow to highlight "About" and press "OK." If you receive notice that the camera is running an older version of firmware than 1.02, you will need to download updated software.
Ensure the computer is switched on and is not in sleep mode. If you are using a laptop, make sure the power cable is plugged in to prevent it from running out of battery and preventing the camera from charging.
Charging with an AC Adaptor
Turn the camera off before charging. All cables should connected correctly and the power socket should be turned on. Allow the green light to turn off before disconnecting. This means the camera is fully charged.
Battery Maintenance
Extract the battery and wipe the metal sensors with a dry cloth to remove any dirt or residue. Also clean the inside of the camera's battery slot.
