It replaces OEM part HXE-W01 and fits the same physical bay with the same connector. Voltage and capacity match the original spec exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBT74R and BT77 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both models share the HXE-W01 cell, the same 3.7V supply rail, and the same physical cavity at 52.96 × 33.64 × 5.15mm. The BMS handshake on each unit reads cell voltage directly — no proprietary authentication chip to negotiate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on GPS-class hardware. The BMS accepted the cell without fault flags, held a stable voltage plateau through mid-discharge, and tripped the low-voltage cutoff at the correct threshold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCold-start recalibration after fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing this cell, power the unit on outdoors and let it acquire a full satellite fix before use. Full power removal forces a cold start — first fix can take 5–10 minutes while the GPS rebuilds its almanac. Subsequent warm starts drop back under a minute.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eGPS accuracy reduced at low battery on the BT74R\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eAs cell voltage drops below roughly 3.5V, some GPS units reduce receiver sensitivity to shed current draw. On the BT74R, this shows up as a wider position circle or intermittent satellite dropouts before the unit shuts off. The navigation display may still look normal while accuracy has already degraded. Keep the cell above 3.6V during active field use to hold full receiver performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBT74R shutting off without a low-battery warning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe battery indicator on the BT74R is calibrated against the original cell's discharge curve. A new cell with a slightly different internal resistance can hit the hardware voltage cutoff before the on-screen indicator reaches the low-battery icon. This is a gauge calibration mismatch, not a faulty cell. Run two or three full charge-discharge cycles and the indicator will re-align to the new cell's curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43377709875290,"sku":"BWCS-XEW01SL-1","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43377709908058,"sku":"BWCS-XEW01SL-2","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43377709940826,"sku":"BWCS-XEW01SL-3","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-XEW01SL-1.webp?v=1778771896","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/adaptec-bt74r-replacement-battery-37v-1000mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
