OEM part number AK-S3M-BC. It fits both the Smart.4 and Smart 3 Mini variants that share the same battery bay and connector pinout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmart.4 and Smart.3 Mini compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both models use the same 3.8V battery rail, identical connector orientation, and the same BMS handshake profile — so one cell covers both platforms without any hardware modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran charge cycles on this cell and confirmed the BMS accepts the charge IC handshake cleanly, holds voltage under screen and modem load, and does not trigger the low-voltage protection cutoff during normal discharge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle calibration on the Smart.4:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use after installation, disable fast charging and run one full discharge down to automatic shutdown, then charge to 100% uninterrupted. This lets the fuel gauge IC map its coulomb counter to the new cell's discharge curve before any high-current sessions.\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.4 after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis is a voltage cliff issue, not a capacity problem. Under peak modem or display load, a new cell whose fuel gauge IC hasn't been calibrated can hit an internal voltage drop that triggers the BMS low-voltage cutoff — even when the OS reports 20–30% remaining. The phone shuts down because the BMS sees a cell voltage below its safety threshold, typically around 3.2V under load, while the uncalibrated coulomb counter still shows a false-high state of charge. One full discharge-charge cycle after installation recalibrates the curve and eliminates the premature cutoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eEmporia Smart.4 not powering on after sitting in storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eLi-Polymer cells self-discharge in storage, and if the battery drops below roughly 2.5V per cell, the BMS enters lockout mode to prevent damage — the phone will not respond to the power button at all. Connect the phone to a wall charger (not a USB 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 2.9V, at which point the BMS unlocks and normal charging resumes. If the charging LED does not appear within 30 minutes, check the cable and adapter output — the recovery current must come from a source delivering at least 5V\/1A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43391829999706,"sku":"BWCS-EAS310SL-1","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43391830032474,"sku":"BWCS-EAS310SL-2","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43391830065242,"sku":"BWCS-EAS310SL-3","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-EAS310SL-1.webp?v=1779142264","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/emporia-smart4-replacement-battery-38v-2500mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
