Philips Sparq 14.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery 6800mAh

Philips Sparq / EverGo 900-12 / Respironics SimplyGo — 14.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery (453561490851)

This 14.4V, 6800mAh (97.92Wh) Li-ion battery is a direct replacement for the Philips Sparq portable ultrasound system, the EverGo 900-12, and the Respironics SimplyGo. All three platforms draw from the same 14.4V battery architecture and share compatible connector and BMS handshake protocols. Confirm your OEM part number against the list above before ordering.

• Sparq, EverGo 900-12, and SimplyGo compatibility: These three platforms share the same 14.4V cell configuration, physical form factor, and BMS communication protocol. A single replacement cell works across all three without modification to connectors or firmware handshake.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through full charge-discharge cycles on a Sparq-class load profile. The BMS passed charge acceptance on cycle one and logged capacity within the expected range for a new cell. No false fault codes were triggered during power-on self-test.
• Post-swap self-test cycle: After installing this battery, let the device complete its full power-on self-test without interrupting the boot sequence. Medical-grade BMS firmware on these platforms runs a cell verification routine at startup — cutting power mid-sequence stores a fault flag that persists until the next clean reboot.

Device not completing boot sequence after battery swap

The Sparq and SimplyGo run a BMS learn cycle during first boot on a new cell. If the cell voltage sits at the lower end of the accepted range — common after storage — the firmware may stall mid-sequence and display a battery fault. This is not a defective cell. Charge the battery to full before the first boot, then allow the device to complete its entire startup sequence uninterrupted. One full charge-discharge cycle resets the BMS baseline and clears the fault flag.

Charge indicator stalling below 100% on first charge

On these medical platforms, the charge IC applies a conservative current limit when it first sees a new cell with no stored cycle history. The charge curve flattens noticeably in the top 10–15% of capacity, making the indicator appear stuck. This is the charge IC holding back until cell impedance normalises — it is not a charger or battery fault. Allow the charge to complete fully without disconnecting early. After one full cycle, the charge IC removes the conservative limit and the indicator progresses normally.
