It fits directly into the camera body and restores full function to the thermal imaging system. Capacity matches the original at 2200mAh (8.14Wh).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtech i5 and Flir i7 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both cameras share the same 3.7V single-cell architecture, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — the same pack powers either unit without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this pack on an i5 body under continuous detector and display load. The BMS held the output rail steady above 3.5V through discharge and tripped the protection circuit cleanly at the low-voltage threshold without causing a hard lock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetector stabilisation after swap:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting a fresh battery, power the camera on and wait a full 60 seconds before taking any measurements. The microbolometer detector needs that window to reach thermal equilibrium with the internal electronics — readings taken before stabilisation will drift and cannot be trusted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eThermal accuracy affected at low battery on the Extech i5\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe i5's microbolometer runs a continuous internal calibration loop that depends on a stable voltage supply. When the cell drops below roughly 3.5V under load, the calibration circuit starts seeing supply noise and the detector baseline shifts. Temperature readings can skew by several degrees before the low-battery icon even appears on screen. Swapping the battery — not just recharging — is the fix once this pattern starts repeating on an aged cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCamera warm to the touch during extended inspections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe i5 runs two significant heat sources simultaneously: the display backlight and the detector's own heating element, which keeps the microbolometer at a controlled operating temperature. That combined draw generates real internal heat, particularly during inspections longer than 30 minutes. The battery housing sits adjacent to both components, so warmth in that area is expected — it is not a fault. If the housing becomes hot rather than warm, check that the ventilation slots on the rear panel are not blocked by a case or pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426132623450,"sku":"BWCS-EXT7SL-1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426132656218,"sku":"BWCS-EXT7SL-2","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426132688986,"sku":"BWCS-EXT7SL-3","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-EXT7SL_1.webp?v=1779930364","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/extech-i5-infrared-camera-replacement-battery-37v-2200mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
