Hi guys. This is the opposite of harvesting but i think it would be interesting for those who own Kodak, Fuji or Pentax compact cameras.
My Kodak KLIC-7004 battery (similar to Fujifilm NP-50, NP-50A, Pentax D-LI68 and D-LI122) was almost dead so i decided to replace the Li-ion cell in it. After peeling the sticker off i found the following marking stuck on the sticker: RHD563436A FTAABFE 3.7V where 563436 is the size of the original cell: 5.6x34x36mm. OnQueen Battery's website i found a Sanyo UF553436G which is only 0.1mm thinner and tested it.
I also can be used to replace the cell in Kodak KLIC-7005, Fujifilm NP-40, NP-40N, Pentax D-LI8, Samsung SLB-0737, SLB-0837, Panasonic CGA-S004 series batteries.
Tests were done using ZKETECH EBC-A20, which supports up to 20A discharge, 4-wire measurement and is PC-connected.
I've used version 3.0 of my battery holder based on 0.5mm thick pure copper terminals
I've followed all the prescriptions of theIEC61960-2003standard concerning battery's capacity measurement. Before each discharging cycle each battery was charged at standard current mentioned in its datasheet to charge end voltage (4.2V) (cut-off at 0.1A, which is the lowest supported by EBC-A20). Before each discharging or charging i've held a 1-1.5hrs pause. The environment temperature was 23.5-24.5C. To be sure in results i've done each test minimum twice.
SANYO UF553436G
The cell which i've tested has two markings:
1. printed on the metal case:
C
207 0649
2. engraved on the metal case:
SI7 Q1L
036 448
The contact in the middle is the negative and the second one with the whole case is positive.
Specifications from UF553436G'sdatasheet:
Rated capacity:800mAh at 20C
Minimum capacity:800mAh at 25C
Typical capacity:830mAh at 25C
Nominal voltage:3.7V
Standard charge current:800mA
Charge end voltage:4.2V
Charge cut-off current:16mA
Max. discharge current:1.6A
Discharge cut-off voltage:2.5V
Maximum weight:15.6g
The measured weight of my UF553436G cell is 15.29g
Capacity test results:
At 0.2C (0.16A) its capacity is higher than declared - 844mAh and even at 1A discharge it remains more than 730mAh! 2A rate is higher than the maximum discharge current (1.6A) but i tested to see how much does the performance go down. UF553436G is not a high drain cell so there is no surprise - the capacity is about half of the rated but the curve still looks nice!
KODAK KLIC-7004's cell replacement
I peeled off the sticker, took out the cell with PCB attached, disconnected the PCB from the cell and spot welded it to the new cell.
Watch the video for details:
SANYO UF553436Gcosts US$2.5 (without shipping) while noname replacement batteries for KLIC-7004 cost more than US$7 on eBay.
