TLi011A1 Alcatel One Touch Pixi Glitz Compatible Battery 3.7V 1450mAh

Alcatel One Touch Pixi Glitz — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (TLi011A1)

This is a 3.7V, 1450mAh Li-ion replacement battery for the Alcatel One Touch Pixi Glitz and Pixi Glitz 4G smartphones (models A463, A463BG). It replaces OEM part number TLi011A1 when the original cell has degraded, stopped holding charge, or failed completely. Dimensions are 64.25 x 49.88 x 4.20mm — verify these against your original battery before fitting.

• Pixi Glitz and Pixi Glitz 4G compatibility: Both the standard A463 and the 4G variant share the same battery bay dimensions, connector pinout, and BMS communication protocol. One cell fits both boards without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through full charge and discharge cycles on the Pixi Glitz platform. The BMS handshake completed correctly, charge IC accepted the cell without fault flags, and voltage held stable under combined screen and modem load.
• Fuel gauge recalibration on first use: After fitting this cell, disable fast charging and run one complete discharge-to-charge cycle before normal use. This gives the fuel gauge IC time to map the new cell's discharge curve. Skipping this step causes the percentage counter to read against the old cell's data, which leads to inaccurate reporting from the first charge onward.

Sudden shutdown at 20–30% on the Pixi Glitz after a cell swap

This shutdown pattern is a voltage cliff issue, not a capacity issue. When the modem transmits or the screen backlights at full brightness, current draw spikes sharply. A new cell that hasn't been calibrated to the fuel gauge IC can drop below the BMS cutoff threshold under that spike — even when the reported percentage looks healthy. The phone cuts out to protect the cell, not because charge is actually gone. Run two full discharge-charge cycles without fast charging, and the fuel gauge IC will track the real voltage curve accurately enough to stop triggering premature cutoffs.

Phone shows erratic or jumping percentage after replacement

Erratic percentage readings — numbers jumping five to ten points in either direction — happen because the coulomb counter is still calibrated to the previous cell's discharge profile. The IC is estimating state-of-charge against data that no longer matches the cell installed. This is not a fault in the replacement battery. Charge the phone to 100% without interruption, let it drain fully to auto-shutdown, then charge again uninterrupted to 100%. After that full cycle, the fuel gauge IC resets its reference points and percentage reporting stabilises.
