It slots into the same bay as the original cell and connects via the standard two-pin pack connector. Capacity is 650mAh (4.81Wh), matching the factory specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabelManager 260 \/ 280 \/ PnP compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same battery bay dimensions, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — all validated against OEM part numbers 14430, W003688, S0895880, S0915380, and 1758458.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through charge and discharge on a LabelManager 260. The BMS held the cutoff voltage correctly at both ends, with no false low-battery flags during the thermal print cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-use print sequence:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing, charge the pack fully, then print five test labels before field use. The thermal print head draws a short current spike on each label — running this sequence confirms the BMS current profile is correctly matched to the new cell before production labeling begins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the LabelManager 260 stops printing after sitting unused for months\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eLi-ion cells self-discharge during storage. If the LabelManager 260 sits unused long enough, the pack voltage drops below the BMS minimum threshold — typically around 6.0V for a 7.4V two-cell pack. At that point the printer powers on but the thermal head will not fire because the BMS blocks load current to protect the cells. Connecting to the charger and allowing a full charge cycle before attempting to print will recover normal operation in most cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePrint coming out faded or streaky with a battery that still shows charge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe DYMO thermal print head requires stable voltage during each heating cycle to reach the correct temperature across its full width. A degraded or partially discharged cell causes voltage sag the moment the head fires, dropping below the threshold the printer needs for consistent dot heat. The result is faded text, missing characters, or streaky output — even when the battery indicator shows two or three bars. Charge the pack fully and run a test print; if streaking persists at full charge, the cell has lost usable capacity and the pack needs replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43415998169178,"sku":"BWCS-DML260SL-1","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43415998201946,"sku":"BWCS-DML260SL-2","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43415998234714,"sku":"BWCS-DML260SL-3","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-DML260SL-1.webp?v=1779759079","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/dymo-labelmanager-260-replacement-battery-74v-650mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
