It fits the AudioVox CDM-8945, PN-230, PM-230, and the Telit V230 — all share the same voltage rail and connector footprint. Install it and the phone returns to full call, messaging, and standby function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCDM-8945, PN-230, PM-230, and Telit V230 fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These four models draw from the same BTR-8945 cell spec — identical 3.7V nominal rail, same connector orientation, and compatible BMS handshake. One battery covers all four 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, load, and cutoff verification. The BMS held low-voltage cutoff correctly and accepted a full charge without thermal event or premature termination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge recalibration after swap:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use, disable any fast-charge accessory and run one complete discharge-charge cycle at standard current. This lets the phone's fuel gauge IC map its algorithm to the new cell's discharge curve before higher charge currents are applied to an uncalibrated cell.\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 CDM-8945 after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe CDM-8945 uses a coulomb-counter fuel gauge that was calibrated against the original cell's impedance curve. A new cell has lower internal resistance, so the gauge's voltage model diverges from real state-of-charge under GSM modem load bursts. When the modem transmits, current draw spikes and the cell voltage dips briefly below the shutdown threshold — even though capacity remains. One full discharge-charge cycle resets the learned curve and the shutdowns stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePhone won't power on after the battery sat in storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eLi-ion cells self-discharge during storage. If the cell drops below roughly 2.5V, the BMS trips into lockout to prevent damage and the phone shows no response to the power button. Connect the phone to a wall charger — not a USB port — and leave it undisturbed for 20–30 minutes. The charge IC will trickle current into the cell until it clears the lockout threshold, after which normal charging resumes. If the phone still shows no sign of charge after 45 minutes, confirm the charger is delivering at least 5V before assuming a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43405155991642,"sku":"BWCS-AU8945SL-1","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43405156024410,"sku":"BWCS-AU8945SL-2","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43405156057178,"sku":"BWCS-AU8945SL-3","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-AU8945SL-big.webp?v=1779370315","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/audiovox-cdm-8945-replacement-battery-37v-950mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
