Capacity is 1750mAh (6.48Wh), matching the OEM specification. OEM part numbers CAB31Y0014C2, TLiB31Y, and CAB31Y0008C2 all cross-reference to this cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOT-960 and Authority platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The OT-960, OT-960C, and Authority share the same battery bay geometry, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — one cell covers the full lineup without modification.\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 the OT-960 platform. The BMS accepted the cell without error flags, and charge termination triggered correctly at full voltage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge recalibration on first install:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use after installation, disable fast charging and run one complete discharge-charge cycle. This gives the fuel gauge IC a full reference curve against the new cell before high-current charging begins — skipping this step is the primary cause of erratic percentage readings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eSudden shutdown at 20–30% on the OT-960 after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe OT-960's fuel gauge IC retains the discharge curve of the old, degraded cell after a swap. When the new cell's actual voltage drops under modem or display load, it can hit a threshold the IC wasn't expecting — triggering an abrupt shutdown even though percentage still reads above zero. This is a coulomb counter mismatch, not a fault with the replacement cell. One full discharge to auto-off followed by an uninterrupted charge to 100% forces the IC to rebuild the curve against the new cell's characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eOT-960 not powering on after the replacement battery sat in storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eLi-ion cells shipped or stored for extended periods can drop below 2.5V per cell, which triggers a BMS lockout to prevent damage. The OT-960 will show no response — no boot logo, no charge indicator — because the BMS has cut output entirely. Connect the phone to a wall adapter, not a PC port, and leave it undisturbed for 20–30 minutes. The charge IC will trickle current into the cell until voltage clears the BMS recovery threshold, typically around 2.9V, at which point normal charging resumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43404343083098,"sku":"BWCS-OT960XL-1","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43404343115866,"sku":"BWCS-OT960XL-2","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43404343148634,"sku":"BWCS-OT960XL-3","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-OT960XL-1.webp?v=1779369819","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/alcatel-ot-960-replacement-battery-37v-1750mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
