Rechargable L-ION Battery DB-120

Ricoh DB-120 Battery — Reliable Power for the GR IV Street Photographer’s Workday

The gist: The official 1800mAh battery for the Ricoh GR IV — a must-own for professional street, documentary, and event photographers who use the GR IV as a primary work camera and can’t afford to lose the shot because the battery ran out.

• 250-shot capacity per charge: Enough for a structured portrait session or a defined editorial assignment; pairing two DB-120 batteries covers a full workday of continuous street shooting without mid-day charging.
• OEM certification = consistent performance: Ricoh-made cells match the exact voltage profile the GR IV’s firmware expects — reducing the risk of the camera shutting down prematurely due to a third-party battery voltage drop.
• Quick field swap in compact form: The DB-120 swaps in seconds in the GR IV’s bottom compartment — critical between consecutive shots or assignments when you can’t afford the camera to be out of action.
• Standard for GR IV ecosystem: The same battery used across the GR IV’s bundle kits — if you’re building a backup kit or standardizing batteries across multiple bodies, a second DB-120 is the logical starting point.

B&H Photo lists the DB-120 as the designated Ricoh GR IV battery at 1800mAh and 6.9Wh, confirming it as the benchmark power source around which the GR IV’s power management system is engineered.

Best for: Professional and serious amateur GR IV photographers who need a spare battery for full-day shoots or travel assignments. Skip it if: You shoot short sessions and charge via USB-C between shoots — the in-camera USB-C charging may be sufficient. Runs ~$60 — check the current price before buying.
