Spare batteries for Ricoh GRIII, IIIX

LennyTheLion · 08-15-2022, 01:32 AM

I like this set so much that I have purchased it 4 TIMES.

Quality of the battery is equal to, maybe a little better than the original Ricoh DB-110 batteries.

Bargain at AUD$26.99 / USD$19. - from Amazon..

This charger has two pins where the Ricoh one has 3 pins, because it has a feedback loop. I'm not sure how it knows the batteries are charged.

I do have a couple of DSTE batteries with a 2000mAh 7.4Wh rating that is higher than the Ricoh batteries and do seem to hold out well.

Charging works just fine, with the coloured led changing from Red to Green when fully charged. For both these, and original Ricoh DB-110 batteries.

The middle pin marked (T) is for temperature sensor. The charger with middle pin wouldn't charge if the battery is too hot. Other than that the (+) and (-) pins are all it takes to properly charge a battery.
