These units lose the ability to hold a charge as the original cell degrades, leaving the device unusable away from a power outlet. This replacement restores full battery-backed operation for on-the-road navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTraffic Assist Pro and 7916 series compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    All three models in this fit list share the same 3.7V single-cell architecture, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol, which is why one cell number — 38799440 — covers the entire group including the Ferrari 7929 variant.\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 a GPS navigator test rig, confirmed the BMS accepted the cell without fault flags, and verified voltage delivery remained stable across screen-on and GPS-active load states.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst fix after battery swap:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this cell, power the unit on outdoors and allow it to acquire a satellite fix before driving. A full power interruption triggers a cold start — expect 5 to 10 minutes for the first fix versus under a minute for subsequent warm starts.\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 Traffic Assist Pro\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eWhen cell voltage drops below roughly 3.5V, some Becker GPS units reduce RF receiver sensitivity to protect remaining power. This shows up as position drift or a weaker satellite signal bar count — not a software glitch. The navigation firmware prioritises core functions over GPS precision at low voltage. Keeping the cell above 3.6V under load prevents the sensitivity reduction from triggering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eTraffic Assist Pro shuts off without warning before the battery indicator hits empty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe on-screen battery gauge in these units is calibrated to the original cell's discharge curve. A new or different cell can have a slightly different voltage-to-capacity curve, causing the shut-off threshold to trip before the visual indicator shows critical. This is not a faulty cell — it is a calibration mismatch. Run two or three full charge and navigation-use cycles to let the firmware re-anchor its shut-off estimate to the new cell's actual curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43377643585626,"sku":"BWCS-BKP001SL-1","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43377643618394,"sku":"BWCS-BKP001SL-2","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43377643651162,"sku":"BWCS-BKP001SL-3","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-BKP001SL_1.webp?v=1778771766","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/becker-traffic-assist-pro-replacement-battery-37v-1200mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
