Kodak Easyshare Charger

Hi i received a kodak easyshare z1485. but without the charger.
and i wanted to know if i could charge it somehow by just plugging it in to my computer

You should be able to but it will take some time if you're going to use the PC.

I would suggest you to get a new charger.

Watch first

It would be great if it was from a store vs. online because I need it soon... Also, it's okay if it isn't a Kodak brand charger, just as long as it's compatible.

The charger and batteries mentioned below will charge batteries outside the camera better than most in-camera chargers. The camera will also be available for use while the batteries are being charged.

These batteries are new formula NiMH batteries that will hold charge for one year when not used. Also, 2000mAh batteries seem to have a longer life. Did not like them at first, but have 12 of these batteries that are over five years old and are still as good as new. Higher mAh batteries still work well in flashlights, but won't start my camera.

A friend asked me to clean and charge her new 2000mAh Duracell batteries as described in the last link. Those batteries are still going strong after four months of casual use and haven't been recharged.

Camera reports batteries low, but is it low charge or bad electrical contacts? Overcharging can ruin good batteries! The secret to making digital cameras work better is having good electrical contacts between batteries and camera.

Digital cameras require lots of power. Bad electrical contacts can cause lots of problems so battery and camera contacts must be cleaned properly. Batteries may be fully charged, but camera will indicate "low" if contacts are not really good. The LCD screen is a low steady load, but when lens extension, optical zoom, focus, and flash charging are added in the capture mode; the load is very heavy. Bad contacts make cameras do strange things like making bad pictures or shutting off with the lens out.

CAUTION Do not overcharge! Batteries can be damaged. Use an automatic two or more hour Energizer Compact smart charger with temperature monitor, trickle charge technology, and safety timer ($9.76) at Walmart. Use pre-charged 2000mAh Duracell ($12.97) or RayOVac ($5.97) batteries (hold charge one year) and a full cycle charge. To preserve battery charge, use the viewfinder.

NiMH batteries should be recharged when camera reports batteries low. Old batteries can discharge over night, but may provide normal service immediately after being charged. Battery pairs no longer usable in cameras may work well in flashlights. Do not drop batteries on a hard surface or allow voltage below one volt to prevent polarity reversal.

CAUTION To prevent memory card corruption, keep batteries charged and don't delete. Wait for lights to stop flashing then turn camera off before removing memory. For card readers, double click Safely Remove Hardware. Select, then click Stop and OK.

Never touch battery ends or camera electrical contacts. Oil from fingers will contaminate contacts. Use batteries in matched pairs of same brand and rating. Do not mix old and new batteries. New will only do as well as old.

Digital cameras reset to original settings if batteries are removed for one minute. Time varies with function/camera. Check display/setup menu for non-auto functions and date/time. Remove extra memory to eliminate this as a possible problem. Insert fully charged/cleaned batteries and restart camera. The ultimate non-physical repair for software-using devices is reset by removing power ... VCR/DVD players one month.

I got a Kodak Easyshare camera and I was wondering if you can charge it with a charger like a charger for your phone that plugs into the wall instead of using batteries.

No

You will have to buy a 4 NiNH AA kit with a charger. Try to find one with at least a 2500 mAh rating. They cost about $30

Price: $16.99 $16.99

Fully charges the battery in approximately 60-90 minutes. Smart LED indicator turns green when charging is complete. Automatically turns to trickle charge mode after the battery is fully charged to prevent overcharging.
Package includes: one ultra-slim dual voltage (110-240V) battery charger, one DC car plug adapter, one European plug adapter
CE Safety Certification. UL Listed. Meets (or exceeds) OEM standards.

I'm going to be taking a long road trip soon and would like to have my camera charged and ready without buying more battery packs. It came with a charger for a wall outlet. Does anyone know if there is a car charger available?

Depending on which kind of Kodak EasyShare you have there are some great car chargers available.

Take a look here and see if you can find what you need:
