TomTom Urban Rider Replacement Battery 3.7V 2200mAh MALAGA

TomTom Urban Rider Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (MALAGA)

This is a 3.7V, 2200mAh Li-ion cell built to replace the original battery in the TomTom Urban Rider, Urban Rider Pro, and Rider 2nd Edition motorcycle GPS navigators. It uses OEM part references MALAGA, 6027A0050901, and 6027A0131301. When the original cell no longer holds a charge, this replacement restores the device to full working condition.

• Urban Rider and Rider 2nd Edition compatibility: These models share the same 3.7V battery bay, connector type, and BMS handshake protocol. One cell fits all listed variants without modification or adapter.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on a TomTom Urban Rider unit. The BMS accepted the cell cleanly, reported correct voltage, and did not trigger a protection cutoff during normal navigation load.
• First satellite fix after fitting: After a full power interruption, the GPS module performs a cold start. Take the device outdoors and power it on before mounting — allow 5 to 10 minutes for first satellite acquisition. Subsequent warm starts complete in under a minute once almanac data is cached.

GPS accuracy reduced at low battery on the Urban Rider

The Urban Rider's receiver management firmware reduces GPS sensitivity as the cell voltage drops toward the low-charge threshold. This is a deliberate power-saving behaviour, not a hardware fault. The result is a wider position scatter and occasional route drift at low charge. Keep the cell above 3.5V during active navigation to maintain full receiver sensitivity.

Device shuts off without warning before the battery indicator hits empty

After fitting a new cell, the on-screen fuel gauge is calibrated to the old cell's discharge curve. The indicator can read 20–30% remaining while the actual cell voltage has already dropped to the cutoff threshold. The BMS cuts power immediately at that point with no low-battery warning displayed. Run two full charge-discharge cycles and the gauge recalibrates to the new cell — shutdowns without warning should stop after that.
