It fits both models directly, restoring capacity lost to cell age, heat damage, or heavy daily use. Rated at 11.4Wh with physical dimensions of 86.50 × 65.80 × 4.10mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVIA V6 and V6X compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both models share the same battery bay dimensions, connector pinout, and charge IC voltage rail at 3.8V nominal. One cell covers both variants 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 VIA V6 platform. The BMS accepted the charge IC handshake cleanly, held voltage above 3.5V under display and modem load, and tripped protection correctly at the low-voltage cutoff threshold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle fast charge caution:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use after installation, disable fast charging for one complete discharge-charge cycle. This lets the fuel gauge IC recalibrate its coulomb counter against the new cell's discharge curve before high current is pushed into 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\"\u003eWhy the VIA V6 reports wrong battery percentage after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe fuel gauge IC on the VIA V6 stores a learned discharge curve from the old cell. When a new cell goes in, that stored curve no longer matches the actual voltage-to-capacity relationship. The phone reads voltage correctly but maps it to the wrong percentage. One full discharge down to auto-shutdown followed by a complete charge to 100% resets the coulomb counter and forces the IC to relearn the new cell's curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eSudden shutdown at 20–30% on the replacement cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens when the phone's display or modem draws a current spike and the cell voltage drops sharply under load — a voltage cliff the fuel gauge did not anticipate. The phone reads 25% but the cell cannot sustain voltage above the system's minimum threshold, triggering an immediate shutdown. It is not a faulty cell; it is an uncalibrated gauge. Run two full discharge-charge cycles and the shutdowns stop once the fuel gauge IC has accurate data. If shutdowns continue past three full cycles, check that resting cell voltage reads above 3.7V with a multimeter before charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43392102989914,"sku":"BWCS-WKR004SL-1","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43392103022682,"sku":"BWCS-WKR004SL-2","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43392103055450,"sku":"BWCS-WKR004SL-3","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-WKR004SL-1.webp?v=1779143816","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/casper-via-v6-replacement-battery-38v-3000mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
