Battery Care Tips
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
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.

HP iPAQ HX4700 Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (290483-B21)
This 3.7V, 2000mAh Li-ion cell replaces the original battery in the HP iPAQ HX4700, HX4705, HX4715, and HX4800 pocket PCs. These Windows Mobile PDAs run entirely on this single cell — when it degrades, the device loses charge fast or fails to hold enough voltage to boot. Capacity is rated at 7.4Wh, matching the original HP specification.
- HX4700 series fit: The HX4700, HX4705, HX4715, and HX4800 share the same battery bay geometry, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — one cell covers all four models without modification.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on an HX4700 unit and confirmed the BMS accepted the cell without fault codes, held a stable voltage curve through the discharge, and triggered the low-battery warning at the correct threshold.
- RAM power warning before swap: Sync all open data to a host PC before removing the battery. The HX4700 stores active application state and unsaved files in SRAM powered directly by this cell — a full power loss wipes that memory instantly, and there is no recovery path for data that was not synced.
Why the HX4700 won't boot after a battery swap
The HX4700 boot sequence checks cell voltage before allowing the processor to initialise. If the replacement battery arrives partially discharged — common after months in warehouse storage — the device sees insufficient voltage and refuses to start, showing a blank screen or a low-battery indicator that won't clear. Connect the iPAQ to its AC adapter and charge for at least 30 minutes before pressing the power button. The cell needs to reach approximately 3.4V before the boot sequence will proceed.
Faster-than-expected drain when running wireless sync or Bluetooth
The HX4700's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios pull significantly more current than the device draws in standby or basic PIM use. On a 2000mAh cell, running an active wireless sync session while the backlight is at full brightness stresses the battery well beyond its idle draw. If the device shows charge dropping quickly during sync, disable Bluetooth while Wi-Fi is active — the two radios competing simultaneously cause voltage sag that the BMS can interpret as a depleted cell. Keep backlight brightness at 50% or lower during wireless operations to reduce the combined load.

Frequently Asked Questions
My HX4700 lost all my contacts and calendar after I swapped the battery — is that normal?
Yes, and it happens because the HX4700 stores active data in SRAM, which is powered directly by the main battery. The moment the old cell is removed, that RAM loses power and everything not synced to a PC or storage card is gone. There is no way to recover it after the fact. Before any future battery swap, run ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center and confirm a full sync completes before pulling the cell.
The iPAQ shows a charging icon but the battery percentage won't move past 1% — what's causing that?
A replacement cell that has sat in storage can drop to a voltage the HX4700's charging circuit treats as critically low, causing it to trickle-charge at a very slow rate before switching to normal charge current. This looks like a stuck percentage for the first 20–40 minutes. Leave the device on the AC adapter without interrupting it — once the cell reaches roughly 3.2V, the charger will switch to standard rate and the percentage will begin climbing normally.
My HX4700 drops its wireless connection partway through a sync after the new battery was installed — why?
The Wi-Fi radio on the HX4700 is voltage-sensitive and will drop its connection if the cell voltage sags under radio transmit load. This usually happens when the replacement battery hasn't been fully charged before use — a partially charged cell can't sustain the current spike the radio demands when transmitting. Charge the battery to 100% before attempting a wireless sync, and check that the device reports full charge on the battery status screen, not just a high percentage.
