OEM part number BA20603R79906. It fits the slim battery bay on all three models and matches the original connector and BMS handshake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZen Neeon, Neeon 2, and DAP-MD0005 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    All three models share the same 3.7V single-cell Li-Polymer architecture, connector pinout, and BMS communication protocol — that's why one cell covers the full lineup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on a Zen Neeon unit. The BMS accepted normal charge current without triggering protection cutoff, and the voltage curve matched the original cell's discharge profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst charge after install:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Media players store for years before resale or repair. If the device won't respond after fitting this battery, connect the charger and leave it for 30 minutes before pressing power — the BMS needs a slow trickle to exit deep-discharge lockout before accepting normal current.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery percentage jumping erratically after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Zen Neeon reads battery level by mapping voltage thresholds against a stored discharge curve. After fitting a new cell, that curve no longer aligns with the fresh cell's actual voltage behaviour. The indicator will jump — sometimes from 80% to 20% in minutes — until the firmware recalibrates. Run two or three full charge-to-depletion cycles and the display will stabilise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePlayback cutting out before the battery indicator hits empty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe audio amplifier inside the Zen Neeon draws a short current spike when driving headphone output at higher volumes. At the end of a discharge cycle, cell voltage sags under that load even when the indicator still shows charge remaining. The device interprets the voltage drop as a protection event and cuts audio. Keeping playback volume below 75% smooths out the sag and the device will drain closer to the true empty threshold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43381348728922,"sku":"BWCS-DA007SL-1","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43381348761690,"sku":"BWCS-DA007SL-2","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43381348794458,"sku":"BWCS-DA007SL-3","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-DA007SL_1.webp?v=1778900059","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/creative-zen-neeon-replacement-battery-37v-850mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
