It fits the Smart 5, Smart.5, and EMS5 variants. Capacity and connector match the original AK-S5 (V2) and AK-S5-BC cells directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmart 5 \/ EMS5 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The Smart 5, Smart.5, and EMS5 all share the same battery bay dimensions and connector pinout. The BMS handshake uses the same thermistor line across all three variants, so 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 cycled this cell through charge and discharge on the Smart 5 platform. The BMS accepted the cell without flagging an unrecognised pack, and the charge IC stepped through its standard CC\/CV profile without interruption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge recalibration tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use after installation, disable fast charging and run one complete discharge-charge cycle at standard rate. This lets the fuel gauge IC map the new cell's discharge curve before fast charging pushes high current into an uncalibrated state.\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 Emporia Smart 5 after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eWhen a new cell goes in, the fuel gauge IC still holds the discharge curve from the degraded original battery. It underestimates how steeply the new cell's voltage drops under load — particularly under modem transmission bursts or screen-on peaks. The phone hits its low-voltage cutoff while the gauge still shows 20–30% remaining. One full discharge-charge cycle at standard rate forces the coulomb counter to relearn the curve against the actual cell, and the phantom shutdowns stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eDevice not powering on after the replacement cell sat in storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eLi-Polymer cells self-discharge in storage. If the cell drops below roughly 2.5V per cell, the BMS enters lockout to prevent damage and blocks normal startup. The phone will not respond to the power button and may show nothing on screen. Connect the phone to a wall charger — not a PC port — and leave it for 15–20 minutes without pressing anything. The charge IC trickle-charges the cell back above the BMS recovery threshold, typically around 2.8V, at which point the BMS re-initialises and normal charging resumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43391783764058,"sku":"BWCS-EAS500SL-1","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43391783796826,"sku":"BWCS-EAS500SL-2","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43391783829594,"sku":"BWCS-EAS500SL-3","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-EAS500SL-1.webp?v=1779141908","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/emporia-smart-5-replacement-battery-385v-3500mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
