It fits the compact handheld unit used for on-site printing in retail, hospitality, and field service. Capacity is 2200mAh (16.28Wh), matching the original specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTM-P60 and M196A compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both the base TM-P60 and the M196A variant share the same battery bay, connector orientation, and 7.4V nominal voltage rail. The BMS handshake protocol is identical across these two units, so one pack covers both.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through multiple print bursts on the TM-P60 platform. The BMS held stable across high-frequency print jobs without tripping the undervoltage cutoff, and charge acceptance was clean from the cradle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-use protocol for the TM-P60:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing this pack, run a full cradle charge before your first print shift. The TM-P60's print head motor draws a sharp inrush current on startup, and a cell sitting at partial charge from shipping is more likely to trigger a BMS protection cutoff on that first activation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the TM-P60 stops mid-print on a new battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe TM-P60 thermal head pulls a concentrated burst of current each time it fires a print line. If the replacement pack is installed at a low state of charge — common after shipping — that burst can drag cell voltage below the BMS cutoff threshold momentarily, causing the printer to halt and throw a power error. This is not a faulty battery. Fully charging the pack before the first print job eliminates the condition. The BMS resets automatically once the pack is recharged above 7.0V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCradle not recognising the new pack after swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eIf the TM-P60 cradle shows a charging error or no charge indicator after installing this battery, the most common cause is contact resistance at the battery terminals. A thin film of oxidation or debris on the gold-plated contacts interrupts the communication signal between the pack and the charging dock. Remove the battery, wipe both the pack contacts and the cradle pins with a dry lint-free cloth, then reseat firmly. If the error clears, the pack will charge normally — confirm by checking the cradle LED transitions from amber to green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43324926623834,"sku":"BWCS-IT3000SL-1","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43324926656602,"sku":"BWCS-IT3000SL-2","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43324926689370,"sku":"BWCS-IT3000SL-3","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-IT3000SL_1.webp?v=1778123427","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/epson-tm-p60-m196a-replacement-battery-74v-2200mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
