Both devices share the WIZA16 cell format, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. It restores power to units where the original cell has degraded past useful capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8125 and 8150 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both models run the same 3.7V single-cell architecture with identical connector geometry and BMS communication lines. The same physical cell fits either device without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this cell through a full charge-discharge cycle on the 8125 platform. The BMS accepted the charge handshake on the first connection and reported cell voltage correctly across the Windows Mobile power stack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge recalibration on first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first installation, disable any fast-charge accessory and run one complete discharge-to-charge cycle at standard current. This allows the fuel gauge IC to map its coulomb counter against the new cell's actual discharge curve before higher-current charging begins.\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 Cingular 8125\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens when the cell cannot hold voltage above the BMS cutoff threshold under combined modem and display load. The fuel gauge IC still reads 20–30% capacity remaining, but instantaneous current draw collapses the cell voltage below the protection circuit's floor. It's a load-response issue, not a capacity issue. A fresh WIZA16 cell with lower internal resistance sustains voltage through those load spikes and eliminates the shutdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePhone reports wrong battery percentage after cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Windows Mobile fuel gauge IC builds its percentage estimate from a discharge curve stored during previous cycles with the old cell. After swapping to a new cell, those stored values no longer match the new cell's actual voltage-to-capacity profile. The result is erratic percentage jumps or a reading that stays frozen near full for too long. Run one full discharge down to auto-shutdown, then charge uninterrupted to 100% — this forces the coulomb counter to recalibrate to 3.7V nominal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43405150519386,"sku":"BWCS-CL8125HL-1","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43405150552154,"sku":"BWCS-CL8125HL-2","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43405150584922,"sku":"BWCS-CL8125HL-3","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-CL8125HL-big.webp?v=1779370297","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/cingular-8125-replacement-battery-37v-2800mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
