Did you read the owners manual? The answers to your questions and many more
are in there. If you don't have a manual it is on Kodaks website at

Greetings Barely,

Actually, you got a pretty good deal, the 1700 mAH battery is worth at least
$25 or more. The camera will not charge unless you have it docked on a
Printer Dock or Camera Dock. The technology actiavates when this is done.
It will charge the battery by use of the power supply. There are features
in some chargers that will deplete the battery then rebuild the charge. They
work quite well. If you purchased the camera as a bundle from a retailer
then chances are that you have a charger of one kind or another.

You can go to the following URLs to get details on the camera and access to
our picture taking content. There is a lot there for you that will help you
get good pictures. Give them a try, Barely, I am here as well if you need
any direct help.
