Ricoh batteries
Ricoh has never been among the biggest of the camera makers. They’re very much focused on niche cameras, with their long-running compact GR series, from film to digital, being a poster child.
But they’ve also explored some other interesting niches, from waterproof adventure cams to 360-degree cameras (Theta series).
And while you’d never guess it from the cameras themselves, more than a few of these completely different kinds of cameras actually share the same battery.
That said, you can’t necessarily count on it. Because keeping track of which battery model is right for your camera isn’t as straightforward as it could be. The GR III and the GR IV, for example, look almost identical from the outside, but their batteries aren’t shared: the GR III takes the DB-110, while the GR IV moved to the larger DB-120.
Below you can find which Ricoh camera takes what battery. I’ve included digital and film, and there’s still a handful I’m trying to confirm before I include them.
It’s also good to carry a spare, especially with the digital and small compact ranges. There’s only so much battery you can fit in a pocketable body — the GR III is rated at around 200 shots per charge. So carrying spares is always a good idea so your camera doesn’t die just when you want to keep shooting.

| Camera | Battery | Charger | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Theta (2013) | Built-in (non-removable) | — | Sealed battery, charged over USB; Rated for roughly 200 stills per charge. |
| Theta S | Built-in (non-removable) | — | Sealed battery, charged in the camera over USB; Rated for roughly 260 stills per charge. |
| Theta SC | Built-in (non-removable) | — | Sealed battery, charged in the camera over USB; Rated for roughly 260 stills per charge. |
| Theta SC2 | Built-in (non-removable) | — | Sealed battery, charged in the camera over USB; Rated for roughly 260 stills per charge. |
| Theta V | Built-in (non-removable) | — | Sealed battery, charged in the camera over USB; Rated for roughly 300 stills per charge. |
| Theta X | DB-110 Also at: Amazon | BJ-11 Sold separately | The DB-110 is removable and comes in the box, but no charger does — Ricoh's instructions are to charge it in the camera over the supplied USB cable connected to a computer. An optional BJ-11 external charger is sold separately if you want to charge spare packs. |
| Theta Z1 | Built-in (non-removable) | — | Sealed battery, charged in the camera over USB; Rated for roughly 300 stills per charge. The internal cell is actually a 1350mAh DB-110 — the same pack the GR III uses — but it isn't user-replaceable. |
| Theta m15 | Built-in (non-removable) | — | Sealed battery, charged in the camera over USB; Rated for roughly 200 stills per charge. |
Compact
| Camera | Battery | Charger | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| G900 | DB-110 Also at: Amazon | Included (no model number) In box | Ricoh's industrial waterproof compact, on the DB-110 pack shared with the WG-8 and the GR III. Rated about 340 shots. Unlike the consumer WG bodies, a mains battery charger is in the box rather than a USB adapter. |
| G900 II | DB-110 Also at: Amazon | Included (no model number) In box | Ricoh's industrial waterproof compact, on the DB-110 pack shared with the WG-8 and the GR III. Rated about 340 shots. Unlike the consumer WG bodies, a mains battery charger is in the box rather than a USB adapter. |
| G900SE | DB-110 Also at: Amazon | Included (no model number) In box | Ricoh's industrial waterproof compact, on the DB-110 pack shared with the WG-8 and the GR III. Rated about 340 shots. Unlike the consumer WG bodies, a mains battery charger is in the box rather than a USB adapter. |
| G900SE II | DB-110 Also at: Amazon | Included (no model number) In box | Ricoh's industrial waterproof compact, on the DB-110 pack shared with the WG-8 and the GR III. Rated about 340 shots. Unlike the consumer WG bodies, a mains battery charger is in the box rather than a USB adapter. |
| GR (2013) | DB-65 Also at: Amazon | BJ-6 Sold separately | No charger in the box; The DB-65 charges in-camera from the supplied USB power adapter and cable. The BJ-6 charger is an optional extra, and the DB-65 is now discontinued, so spare packs are getting harder to find. |
| GR Digital | DB-60, or 2× AAA Also at: Amazon | — | Ricoh's DB-60 rechargeable pack, or two AAA alkaline, NiMH or Oxyride cells. |
| GR Digital II | DB-60, or 2× AAA Also at: Amazon | — | Ricoh's DB-60 rechargeable pack, or two AAA alkaline, NiMH or Oxyride cells. |
| GR Digital III | DB-65, or AAA (original) Also supported: DB-60 — Ricoh-confirmed Also at: Amazon | — | Ships with the DB-65. Ricoh says the older DB-60 also works, and so do AAA alkaline or NiMH cells. |
| GR Digital IV | DB-65, or AAA (original) Also supported: DB-60 — Ricoh-confirmed Also at: Amazon | — | Ships with the DB-65. Ricoh lists the older DB-60 and AAA alkaline or NiMH cells as alternatives. |
| GR II | DB-65 Also at: Amazon | BJ-6 Sold separately | No charger in the box; The DB-65 charges in-camera from the supplied USB power adapter and cable. The BJ-6 charger is an optional extra, and the DB-65 is now discontinued, so spare packs are getting harder to find. |
| GR III | DB-110 Also at: Amazon | BJ-11 Sold separately | No charger in the box; The DB-110 charges inside the camera using the supplied USB cable, power adapter and plug. The BJ-11 external charger is an optional extra, and the same DB-110 pack also fits the GR IIIx and several WG and G series bodies. |
| GR IIIx | DB-110 Also at: Amazon | BJ-11 Sold separately | No charger in the box; The DB-110 charges inside the camera using the supplied USB cable, power adapter and plug. The BJ-11 external charger is an optional extra, and the same DB-110 pack also fits the GR III and several WG and G series bodies. |
| GR IV | DB-120 Also at: Amazon | BJ-12 Sold separately | The DB-120 is a new higher-capacity pack that does not interchange with the GR III's DB-110 or the older DB-65. The box holds only a USB-C cable, with no charger and no wall adapter, so you charge in-camera from a USB-PD source or buy the BJ-12 charger separately. |
| GR IV Monochrome | DB-120 Also at: Amazon | — | The same DB-120 pack as the colour GR IV — the monochrome conversion changes the sensor, not the power. Ricoh rates it at about 250 shots to CIPA, which is modest, so spares matter. No charger in the box: it charges over USB-C and is USB Power Delivery compatible, with the D-AC166 adapter sold separately. |
| WG-1000 | D-LI96 Also at: Amazon | — | Takes the D-LI96, which is NOT the D-LI92 used by the WG-90 and the older WG bodies — the two are not interchangeable despite the similar names. Rated about 300 shots. No mains charger in the box, just a USB power adapter and cable. |
| WG-6 | DB-110 Also at: Amazon | BJ-11 Sold separately | Takes the DB-110, the same pack as the GR III and GR IIIx — not the D-LI92 used by the later WG-70, WG-80 and WG-90. No charger in the box; It charges in the camera from the supplied USB power adapter and cable. |
| WG-70 | D-LI92 Also at: Amazon | K-BC183U Sold separately | No charger in the box — the D-LI92 charges inside the camera from the supplied power adapter and USB cable, about two hours for a full charge. An optional K-BC183U charger kit is available if you want to charge spares separately. |
| WG-8 | DB-110 Also at: Amazon | — | Takes the DB-110, the same pack as the GR III and the G900, so spares carry across. Rated about 340 shots. No mains charger in the box — a USB power adapter and cable instead; the K-AC166 AC adapter kit is optional. |
| WG-80 | D-LI92 Also at: Amazon | K-BC183U Sold separately | No charger in the box — the D-LI92 charges inside the camera from the supplied USB power adapter and cable, about two hours for a full charge. Ricoh sells an optional K-BC183U charger kit for charging spares outside the camera. |
| WG-90 | D-LI92 Also at: Amazon | K-BC183U Sold separately | No charger in the box — the D-LI92 charges inside the camera from the supplied USB power adapter and cable, about two hours for a full charge. Ricoh sells an optional K-BC183U charger kit if you want to top up spare batteries outside the camera. |
Compact (film)
| Camera | Battery | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 500 G | 1× mercury cell (see notes) Also at: Amazon | Powers the electric-eye meter only. Original spec is a 1.35V mercury cell, banned and long out of production. Modern options: an MR-9 adapter with a silver-oxide SR43, a zinc-air WeinCell, or an alkaline of the same size — the alkaline sits at 1.5V and sags in use, so the meter reads off. |
| Auto Half | None | No battery. The Auto Half runs on a wind-up spring motor for the film advance and a selenium photocell for the “electric eye” exposure — a selenium cell generates its own current from light, so there is nothing to replace. Ricoh's own specification lists a セレンメーター (selenium meter) and no power source at all. |
| FF-1 | 2× SR44 or LR44 Also at: Amazon | Two SR44 or LR44 button cells. |
| FF-3 AF / FF-3D AF | 2× AA Also at: Amazon | Two AA cells — the same for the FF-3 AF and the FF-3D AF. |
| FF-9 | 1× CR-P2 (6V lithium) Also at: Amazon | A single 6V CR-P2 lithium pack — the same cell the Nikonos RS and a number of late-1980s autofocus compacts use. Ricoh sold the camera body-only with the battery priced separately. |
| GR1 | 1× CR2 Also at: Amazon | A single CR2 lithium cell powers the whole camera — shutter, film transport, metering, autofocus, and flash. When it dies the GR1 stops completely, so a spare is worth carrying. |
| GR10 | 1× CR123A Also at: Amazon | The budget-oriented GR10 swapped the GR1's CR2 for a larger CR123A cell — Ricoh deliberately beefed up the power because casual users fire the flash far more often. It's the one film-era GR that doesn't share a battery with its siblings, and like all of them it's completely dead without one: the cell runs the film transport, shutter, meter and flash. |
| GR1s | 1× CR2 Also at: Amazon | The 1998 update keeps the same single CR2 lithium cell running film transport, shutter, and flash. There is no backup power source, so a dead cell means a dead camera. |
| GR1v | 1× CR2 Also at: Amazon | Ricoh's last film GR still runs on one CR2 lithium cell, powering the shutter, film transport, meter, and flash together. As with its siblings, a flat cell leaves the camera fully dead. |
| GR21 | 1× CR2 Also at: Amazon | Ricoh's superwide 21mm compact runs on a single CR2 lithium cell, the same one used across the rest of the GR1 family. That cell powers everything — film transport, shutter, meter and flash — so the camera won't fire at all without it. |
| R1 | 1× CR2 Also at: Amazon | One CR2 lithium cell powers everything on the R1 — film transport, shutter, autofocus, and flash — so the camera will not operate at all without it. There is no manual wind-on backup, so a spare is worth carrying. |
| R1s | 1× CR2 Also at: Amazon | The R1s is a lightly revised R1 and uses the same single CR2 lithium cell for film transport, shutter, and flash. A flat cell leaves the camera completely dead, with no mechanical fallback. |

|---|---|---|---|
| GXR | DB-90 Also at: Amazon | — | Ricoh's DB-90 rechargeable pack; Ricoh says to use only the genuine DB-90. |
SLR (film)
| Camera | Battery | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| KR-10 | 2× LR44 (or SR44) Also at: Amazon | Two 1.5V LR-44 alkaline cells, supplied with the camera when new; the 1.55V silver-oxide SR-44 is the usual substitute and lasts longer. They run the meter only. Ricoh's manual also lists mercury cells as an option — those are long banned and no longer made, so see the mercury section for what to use instead. |
| KR-10 Super | 2× SR44 (or LR44) Also at: Amazon | Two button cells — Ricoh lists the 1.55V silver-oxide SR-44 and the 1.5V alkaline LR-44 as equivalents, and the silver-oxide pair lasts noticeably longer. |
| KR-30sp | 4× LR44 or SR44 Also at: Amazon | Manual: four 1.5V LR44 alkaline (about six months of normal use) or four silver-oxide. |
| KR-5 | 2× SR44 (G13 silver oxide) Also at: Amazon | Two 1.5V silver-oxide cells, listed as G13 — the size now sold as SR44 — for the through-the-lens meter. |
| KR-5 Super | 2× SR44 Also at: Amazon | Two 1.5V SR-44 silver-oxide cells power the through-the-lens meter. |
| KR-5 Super II | 2× LR44 or SR44 Also at: Amazon | Two LR44 alkaline or two SR44 silver-oxide cells. |
| Mirai | 1× CR-P2 (6V lithium), or 4× AAA Also at: Amazon | Manual: “Insert a fresh lithium battery or four AAA-size batteries into the Battery Holder.” Ricoh's own archive names that lithium cell as the 6V CR-P2. |
| Singlex | None | No battery: no meter and a fully mechanical shutter. Nothing to power, nothing to go flat. |
| Singlex TLS | 1× PX625 (1.35V mercury — see notes) Also at: Amazon | Meter only; Mechanical shutter. Original spec is a 1.35V mercury cell, banned and long out of production. Modern options: an MR-9 adapter with a silver-oxide SR43, a zinc-air WeinCell, or an alkaline of the same size — the alkaline sits at 1.5V and sags in use, so the meter reads off. |
| XR-1 | 2× SR44 (G13) Also at: Amazon | Manual: the metering system “operates on power activated by two 1.5V G13 silver-oxide batteries.” |
| XR-2s | 2× LR44 (or SR44) Also at: Amazon | Two 1.5V LR-44 alkaline cells power the TTL CdS meter — the shutter is unaffected. Ricoh rates alkalines for about six months and silver-oxide (SR-44, also sold as G13, MS76 or S76) for about a year. The manual also lists mercury cells, which are long banned; see the mercury section for what to use instead. |
| XR-6 | 2× LR44 or SR44 Also at: Amazon | Two LR44 alkaline or SR44 silver-oxide cells. |
| XR-7 | 2× LR44 or SR44 Also at: Amazon | Manual gives both, with rough life: about 6 months on LR44 alkaline, about a year on SR44 silver-oxide. |
| XR-7 Mark II | 2× LR44 (or SR44) Also at: Amazon | Two button cells, LR-44 alkaline or SR-44 silver-oxide, running the meter. The same pair as the XR-7 before it, so nothing changes if you already own one. |
| XR-P | 2× CR-1/3N, or 4× SR44, or 4× LR44 Also at: Amazon | Three ways to power it, and Ricoh lists all three: two 3V CR-1/3N lithium cells, four silver-oxide SR-44s, or four alkaline LR-44s. The lithium pair is the tidiest option and holds up better in cold weather; the button cells are easier to find. Note the count differs — two lithium cells but four buttons. |
| XR-X | 4× AA Also at: Amazon | Four AA alkaline cells. |
| XR-X3000 | 4× AA (alkaline) Also at: Amazon | Four AA alkaline cells, which is unusual for a Ricoh SLR of this era and much easier to feed than button cells. Ricoh sold it body-only with the batteries priced separately. |
Things worth knowing
The manufacturers do sometimes come out with newer versions of some batteries. And sometimes there’s more than one model that’s compatible. I’ve noted those cases below.
With Ricoh, the battery families themselves are fairly straightforard — a handful of models cover nearly the whole modern range.
The DB-110 is probably the most important in terms of the newer ranges. It powers the GR III and GR IIIx (including the HDF and special editions), the WG-6, the G900 and G900 II, and the Theta X.
What about the other Theta models? The Theta X is the only camera in Ricoh’s 360° line with a user-swappable battery. Every other model — from the original Theta through the m15, S, SC, SC2, V, and Z1 — has a sealed internal battery that charges over USB, so there’s no battery to buy and nothing to cross-reference, which is why they don’t appear in the chart. There’s a nice footnote hiding in Ricoh’s own spec sheets, though: the Z1’s sealed internal cell is listed as a DB-110 — the same battery — it’s just built in rather than swappable.
The GR IV moved to a new, larger battery, the DB-120, rated at 1800mAh and around 250 shots per charge, so GR III spares won’t do you any good if you upgrade to the GR IV.
The waterproof WG bodies — WG-50, WG-60, WG-70, WG-80 and WG-90 — use the older D-LI92 that Ricoh inherited from Pentax.
The GR (2013), GR II, GR Digital III and GR Digital IV run on the DB-65, and the two GR Digitals will also take the older DB-60. The original GR Digital and GR Digital II go back further: the DB-60, or two AAA cells.
Chargers
The chargers are where it gets fiddly.
The GR III charges its DB-110 inside the camera over USB-C, which is handy on the road because a power bank will do the job while you’re on the go, but it also means the camera is out of action while it charges.
To charge a spare outside the camera, you need a separate charger that’s not included: Ricoh’s is the BJ-11, which itself runs off USB-C. The DB-120 has its own charger, the BJ-12.

Third-party batteries for Ricoh cameras
I’m focusing here on original Ricoh-branded batteries because those are the ones that Ricoh guarantees to work in their cameras.
But there’s also a whole universe of aftermarket batteries out there. They’re often significantly cheaper than the OEM versions. Sometimes they’re the only option that’s available in stock.
I’ve used many aftermarket batteries over the years in many different cameras and have found many of them to work well. I’ve also come across some that don’t. So I can’t give a blanket statement that you should or should not get third-party batteries. Because the reality is that some are better than others.
In nearly all cases, the third-party batteries are listed on retailers’ sites using the original model numbers. So doing a search for those should surface any third-party alternatives that are available.
I’m not recommending one way or the other on whether to buy them. But if you do decide to buy them, it’s worth doing so knowing that it does come with more risk than buying the Ricoh-branded versions.
Updates & corrections
This is a growing reference that I keep updating as I verify more models. Every battery listed here is sourced from the camera’s own manual or the manufacturer’s spec sheet, not from a random forum post. If you spot something that needs correcting or updating, please let me know in the comments.
