Our old DX6440's battery pack wouldn't take a charge, so I took the pack apart, replaced the cells with Duracell 2650mah cells by hot-glueing them onto the center plastic piece. Bingo, a much better battery pack. Then, just to see, I did a quick charge of the old cells just to get some voltage in them and stuck them in my Lacrosse charger for a refresh. The last cycle they showed ~1860-1870mah, much better. The only thing to really watch is to make sure you glue the pack back together with the batteries positioned properly so the plastic tab hits the switch inside the battery compartment to identify it's a rechargeable pack, then the docks will recharge them.

This battery is got to cause more frustration than anything. IMPORTANT to find a battery that will be good for the day not just for less than 40 pictures, thats if your taking them in a row. Shop around for something better if you want to live a little longer.

I originally posted a positive review of this product, but as I am now purchasing another one, I have looked at the one that I have had success with, and it is actually the 1850mAh KAA2HR, which is a little more expensive, but well worth it. I have had no experience with this less powerful/cheaper battery pack. I would recommend that you pay a little more for a better battery. - Pantucci
