Yep another battery thread. Just thought I’d share my particular symptoms. Im sitting here typing this with the Z1 in front of me, turned on. I started with a 88% charge and I’m watching it drop 2% every two minutes or so. Wifi and BT are off. I did the “Wifi reset” procedure as well. Not sure what …

did you try a force shutdown by pressing and hold down the power and wifi buttons until the camera reboots? roughly about 12 seconds. I did replace the battery on my V back in March and it is still working. However, my V was completely dead, so I had nothing to lose. I can’t recommend this as it…

Hello, This is my first post, and I am happy to have found this very specialized source. I became the owner of a Z1 (second-hand) from a few days, and I was amazed by the quality of the photos, even without post-production (but I knew that relying on Ricoh means being in good hands). I have experi…

I have not taken the Z1 apart. Perhaps someone on the forum has more information and they will be able to answer your question. The V has a battery in it that has a 1360mAh rating. I imagine that the Z1 has a larger battery. I replaced with V battery with a 1500mAh LI90B/92B and it is still work…

Thank you again Craig, and yes, let’s take same time to find the information we need. …But I remember that there is a version of the Z1 with transparent covers…do you remember???

Oh great Craig, congrats on finding this information which already gives us an idea of what the shape is like, thank you very much

based on the shape, it may be the same 1360mAh battery in the V. The Z1 has side screws. Personally, I would not try and take the camera apart unless I had no other option. I would try and use the stock internal battery for as long as possible until it stops holding a charge.

Yes Craig, that’s right, I’ll do the same thing too, being covered by a guarantee it is unthinkable to invalidate it now, thank you again :slight_smile:
