SOLVED: Battery dead, need to use it NOW

great news.

RICOH recommends the official RICOH cable, but I do not know where to buy them from.

I tested the Ankder USB C Cable. It worked in my tests. Keep in mind that I don’t work for RICOH, so this is not official information. Get the shortest length that will work for your charging setup. I know other people that are using the same cable.

RICOH lists powerbanks on their site, the FAQ portion.

Make sure the powerbank can deliver over 1amp, (1000 mA).

In my personal tests, the Z1 doesn’t draw more than 1 Amp.

If the powerbank can only output a max of 500 mAmps, it may not be enough.

Portable battery chargers on RICOH FAQ site for Z1.
