BenQ E1460 Replacement Battery 3.7V 660mAh DLI216

BenQ E1460 / E1480 Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (DLI216)

This is a 3.7V, 660mAh Li-ion replacement cell for the BenQ E1460, E1480, T1460, W1220, and compatible compact camera models. It slots into the same battery compartment as the original DLI216 cell and delivers the same voltage rail the camera body expects. Use it as a direct swap when the factory cell no longer holds charge.

• E1460 / E1480 / T1460 / W1220 platform compatibility: These models share the same battery bay geometry, 3.7V supply rail, and BMS communication protocol — that is why a single cell covers all of them. The connector orientation and contact pitch are identical across the group.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on camera body hardware and confirmed the BMS handshake completes without fault flags. Capacity held within tolerance across the initial cycles, and the protection circuit tripped correctly at the low-voltage cutoff threshold.
• First-install charge cycle on the E1460: Insert the new cell and run one full charge cycle through the camera body or OEM charger before your first shoot. BenQ's battery-remaining display calibrates its voltage-to-percentage map during that first cycle — skipping it causes the indicator to read erratically from the start.

Why the E1460 battery indicator drops suddenly from 50% to empty

The E1460 maps battery percentage using a voltage-threshold table tuned to the factory cell's discharge curve. A new third-party cell can have a slightly different mid-range discharge slope, which causes the indicator to skip thresholds rather than step down smoothly. The result looks like a sudden drop — the cell still has charge, but the camera's map has lost its reference point. Run one full charge-to-empty cycle through the camera body to let the BMS re-anchor the curve to the new cell.

Camera body shows "no battery" with a freshly installed replacement

This happens when the BMS authentication check runs before the cell voltage has stabilised after shipping — cells often arrive at a partial state of charge that falls outside the camera's expected acceptance window. Remove the battery, insert it again firmly to ensure full contact on all three terminals, then connect the camera to the OEM charger. Allowing one full charge cycle from that point clears the rejection flag on most BenQ compact bodies. If the indicator still shows no battery after a full charge, check that the gold contact pads on the cell are clean and free of oxidation — wipe with a dry cloth and re-seat at 3.7V nominal.
