It fits the 8160, 8162, 8164, and 8165 models, along with additional compatible units in the same family. Capacity is 12.6Wh, matching the original cell specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8160 series compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same 6V voltage rail, physical cell dimensions, and connector arrangement. The BMS in each unit expects the same charge profile, so one cell format covers the full range 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 8160 platform. The BMS accepted the cell without error flags, and the protection circuit triggered correctly at low-voltage cutoff without dropping the device mid-use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle initialisation on Cullmann accessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Run the first full charge through the OEM charger before use. Some units in this series do not update the battery-remaining indicator accurately until the BMS has completed one full charge cycle from a recognised charge source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery indicator staying flat or reading zero after fitting a new cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells ship in a partially discharged state for transport safety compliance. The Cullmann 8160 BMS maps its charge display against known voltage thresholds, and a new cell sitting below that baseline can register as empty even when it holds usable charge. Insert the battery and run a full charge cycle in the OEM charger before first use. After a complete charge, the indicator should read the correct state across normal operating voltage — roughly 5.4V at low end to 7.2V at peak for a 6-cell Ni-MH pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery percentage jumping or dropping suddenly mid-session\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH discharge curves are flatter than Li-ion, which makes voltage-based fuel gauges less precise at mid-range states of charge. The 8160 BMS estimates remaining capacity from voltage readings, and the shallow slope between 20% and 80% charge causes the indicator to recalibrate in steps rather than smoothly. This appears as sudden percentage drops or erratic jumps on the display. Running two or three full charge-discharge cycles conditions the cell and lets the BMS refine its threshold mapping — actual usable capacity does not change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43333892145242,"sku":"BWCS-NP55-1","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43333892178010,"sku":"BWCS-NP55-2","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43333892210778,"sku":"BWCS-NP55-3","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-NP55-1.webp?v=1778213590","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/cullmann-8160-replacement-battery-6v-2100mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
