When we bought the new camera we didn't really think much about the battery. After getting the camera and realizing it took a specific type of battery I went shopping for an extra battery or two. I was shocked by the price so I ordered two of the cheapest batteries I could find. Big mistake. Both of the cheap batteries would charge normally but would only last a very short time in the camera. The original battery will last through hundreds of pics but neither of the new ones would last even 50 before the camera would stop working. In fact the original Kodak battery in the camera lasts longer than both of the cheapo batteries put together. So I finally broke down and bought a second Kodak battery and it works great. I have discovered that all batteries are not created equal and even though this battery costs about $7 more than some other brands, it works much longer. Save the frustration and buy a genuine Kodak KLIC-8000. It will outlast two or three of the cheap ones.

I bought this battery and a Kodak charger at the suggestion of a Kodak support person because my camera, Easyshare Z712 IS, drains batteries like no tomorrow. The KLIC-8000 is supposed to be fully compatible with my camera but it does not work. I was told by another Kodak support rep. to return the battery for a new one which I did and once again it did not work after being fully charged. I noticed some other reviews on this site are from people who have the same camera as me and the battery works fine for them. So obviously this battery is hit or miss. I recommend keeping the receipt should you buy this battery so you can return it should it not work.
