Alecto DVM-69 Replacement Battery 3.7V 1500mAh Li-Polymer

Alecto DVM-69 — 3.7V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (P002088)

This 3.7V, 1500mAh lithium-polymer battery replaces the OEM pack in the Alecto DVM-69 baby monitor parent unit. It fits the portable handset that parents carry around the home while the camera unit stays in the nursery. Capacity matches the P002088 original at 1500mAh (5.55Wh).

• DVM-69 parent unit fit: The DVM-69 parent unit runs a single-cell Li-Polymer pack at 3.7V nominal. The P002088 cell matches that voltage rail and the physical footprint — 43 × 40 × 8.2mm — so it seats correctly in the battery bay without forcing the connector.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on the DVM-69 parent unit and confirmed the BMS accepts the pack without fault flags. Charge acceptance was clean from flat to full with no thermal events.
• Post-swap re-pair: After fitting a new battery, the DVM-69 parent unit will need re-pairing with the camera unit. A full power loss — even briefly — drops the wireless link. Run the pairing sequence from the parent unit menu before placing it in the nursery.

Parent unit not connecting to camera unit after battery swap

Removing the battery cuts all power to the parent unit's wireless radio module. When that module restarts cold, it no longer holds the pairing data it had with the DVM-69 camera unit. The camera unit is still broadcasting — the parent unit simply does not know where to look. Go into the parent unit's settings menu, select the pairing or scan function, and follow the on-screen steps until the camera feed appears. Once paired, the link persists through normal power cycling and charging.

Parent unit range reduced straight after fitting the new battery

The DVM-69 parent unit's 2.4GHz radio draws more current at full transmission power than at idle. A partially charged new battery cannot sustain the voltage needed for maximum radio output, so effective range drops noticeably. This is not a fault with the battery or the handset. Charge the parent unit to 100% before the first use — the radio will then operate at its rated transmission voltage of 3.7V nominal and restore full range.
