Nice demonstration, but if I can’t find a DB-110 replacement battery, I’m not sure if I would take the camera apart. If I find a replacement, this step-by-step demonstration will be very helpful.

The battery replacement for Ricoh Theta S is the Olympus battery model LI-92B.

It’s the perfect equivalent of the original Ricoh DB-110 battery. Tested personally.

Please don’t use any other similar battery or you risk to breaking the charge control circuit of the camera!!

Please note that you nullify the warranty, if the item is under coverage.
