It replaces OEM part numbers DR36 and DR36S. The battery slots into the ChemBook 6200 battery bay and restores untethered operation when the original cell has degraded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemBook 6200 fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The DR36 and DR36S share the same 12V rail, physical form factor, and connector pinout on the ChemBook 6200 platform. Both OEM part numbers are direct equivalents — the hardware makes no distinction between them at the BMS handshake level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran charge and discharge cycles on the ChemBook 6200 with this cell installed. The BMS accepted the cell without fault flags, and the charge circuit completed full cycles without thermal cutoff or interrupted charging events.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle reset after install:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this battery, run the ChemBook 6200 from full charge down to automatic hibernate cutoff, then charge uninterrupted back to 100%. This single discharge-charge cycle resets the BIOS battery learn cycle and clears the inaccurate health or capacity warnings that appear after any cell swap on this platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eChemBook 6200 shutting down at 20–30% remaining after battery swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eA new Ni-MH cell in the ChemBook 6200 does not automatically sync with the fuel gauge IC — the IC still references calibration data from the old, degraded cell. Under full CPU and display load, the voltage drops faster than the old calibration curve predicts, triggering an emergency shutdown before the gauge reaches zero. The fix is one full calibration cycle: charge to 100%, run the laptop under normal load to hibernate cutoff without manually plugging in, then charge back to 100% uninterrupted. After that cycle, the fuel gauge IC re-maps the voltage curve to the new cell and the early shutdowns stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBIOS showing incorrect Wh rating after replacing with this cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Wh figure displayed in BIOS or system info is read from EEPROM data embedded in the original battery's controller — it is not measured live from the new cell. When a replacement cell is fitted, the BIOS may still display the old cell's rated Wh, or a generic fallback value, rather than the correct 45.6Wh spec of this battery. This is a data mismatch in stored EEPROM values, not a fault with the replacement cell or the charging circuit. On the ChemBook 6200, running the BIOS battery learn cycle — one full discharge to hibernate followed by an uninterrupted charge to 100% — allows the system to update its capacity estimate against the actual cell chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43410857918554,"sku":"BWCS-DR36HB-1","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43410857951322,"sku":"BWCS-DR36HB-2","price":105.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43410857984090,"sku":"BWCS-DR36HB-3","price":118.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-DR36HB-big.webp?v=1779581376","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/chem-usa-chembook-6200-replacement-battery-12v-3800mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
