It replaces OEM part numbers T96F2, CMP3D, 3K4T8, NJ644, 312-0966, and several other Dell-issued references for this platform. If your original cell no longer holds a charge or causes sudden shutdowns, this is the direct swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInspiron Mini 1012 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The 1012 line — including the N450 and 464-1012 variants — all share the same 11.1V three-cell battery bay, connector pinout, and BMS communication protocol. One cell 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 ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on a 1012 unit. The BMS handshake initialised correctly, charge acceptance was normal from the first cycle, and the Dell EC recognised the cell without throwing an unknown battery warning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-install calibration on the 1012:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this battery, run the charge to 100%, then use the laptop normally until it hibernates at the low-voltage cutoff — do not interrupt. Charge back to 100% uninterrupted. This resets the BIOS battery learn cycle and clears the inaccurate health warning that appears after every cell swap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBIOS reporting poor battery health after swapping the 1012 cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eDell's EC reads health data stored in the battery's EEPROM. When a new cell goes in, the EEPROM data does not match the discharge history the BIOS has accumulated — so it flags the battery as degraded or unknown. This is not a fault with the new cell. Running one complete discharge-to-hibernate then a full uninterrupted charge writes fresh data to the learn cycle and clears the flag. After two to three cycles the health reading stabilises and reflects the actual cell state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eLaptop shuts down at 20–30% charge shown on the 1012\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens when the fuel gauge IC has not yet calibrated against the new cell's actual voltage curve. The OS reads a percentage that no longer maps accurately to the cell's real state of charge. Under full CPU and display load, the cell hits its low-voltage cliff before the gauge catches up — the system cuts power as a protection response. Run two full discharge-to-hibernate and full-recharge cycles to let the gauge IC re-anchor its readings. After calibration, shutdowns at false percentages stop and the gauge tracks within a few percent of actual capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43409826807898,"sku":"BWCS-DE1012NB-1","price":93.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43409826840666,"sku":"BWCS-DE1012NB-2","price":106.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43409826873434,"sku":"BWCS-DE1012NB-3","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-DE1012NB-1.webp?v=1779581091","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/dell-inspiron-mini-10-1012-replacement-battery-111v-4400mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
