Fits Pandigital Novel 6 e-reader, replaces OEM battery CA397647.
3.7V, 1500mAh lithium-polymer cell powers the 6-inch e-ink display through full reading sessions.
Connector slides straight into the Novel 6 battery slot with a single locking tab on the left edge.
We bench-tested this cell in a Novel 6 unit — BMS accepted the new pack on first insertion, voltage ramp steady through the boot cycle.
After installing, charge via USB for one complete cycle before reading — the Novel 6 firmware recalibrates battery percentage display after a cell swap and needs a full charge to sync correctly.

Battery Care Tips

🔹 Getting Started

Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.

🔹 Keep It Healthy

Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.

Delivery and Shipping

🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Pandigital Novel 6 / PRD06E20WWH8 — 3.7V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (CA397647)

This 3.7V, 1500mAh lithium-polymer cell replaces the original CA397647 battery in the Pandigital Novel 6 e-reader. It fits the PRD06E20WWH8 model variant directly. Capacity figure is taken from product data — 5.55Wh total energy.

  • Novel 6 and PRD06E20WWH8 compatibility: Both model designations share the same 3.7V single-cell architecture, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — one cell covers both. No adapter or wiring modification needed.
  • Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on the Novel 6 platform. The BMS accepted the cell without protection trips, and the e-ink controller initialised normally on first boot.
  • Firmware calibration after swap: The Novel 6 firmware tracks coulomb count from the previous cell. After fitting this replacement, charge the device via USB to 100% without interruption — this resets the fuel gauge and stops the percentage indicator from reporting inaccurate readings.

Why the Novel 6 shows low battery immediately after a new cell is installed

Replacement cells ship at storage voltage — typically 3.6V to 3.85V — not full charge. The Novel 6 firmware compares resting voltage against a charge table and flags anything below its full-charge threshold. The device is not defective, and neither is the cell. Connect to USB power and let it charge to 100% before drawing any conclusions about battery health.

Novel 6 not powering on at all after battery replacement

If the cell sat in storage for an extended period, it may have dropped below the minimum boot voltage the Novel 6 requires to initialise — around 3.2V. The device will appear completely dead even with a new battery fitted. Connect the USB charger and leave it for at least 10 minutes before pressing the power button. The BMS needs to accept a trickle charge first, then the main board will receive enough voltage to boot.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Novel 6 battery percentage jumps around — it reads 80% then drops to 20% within minutes of unplugging. Is the new cell faulty?

The cell is not faulty — this is the firmware recalibrating its fuel gauge to the new cell's charge curve. The Novel 6 tracks capacity using the original cell's baseline, and a replacement cell disrupts that reference. Run one full charge from 0% to 100% without interrupting the cycle, and the percentage display will stabilise.

Page turns on my Novel 6 are noticeably slower after I swapped the battery — what's causing it?

E-ink displays draw a short current spike each time the screen refreshes. If the replacement cell is still at a low storage voltage, that spike causes a brief voltage sag, and the controller slows the refresh to stay within safe limits. Charge the device fully to 3.7V nominal — page turn speed returns to normal once the cell is at capacity and the voltage rail is stable.

My Novel 6 loses charge much faster when WiFi is on versus just reading. Is something wrong with the battery?

Nothing is wrong. The Novel 6 WiFi radio draws significantly more current than the e-ink display alone — the display in static reading mode consumes very little power, while the WiFi module adds a constant active load. This contrast is especially noticeable on a freshly swapped cell before the firmware has finished calibrating. Turn off WiFi in settings when not syncing content, and monitor discharge over a full reading session without WiFi active.
