Flip Mino F360 Replacement Battery 3.7V 1000mAh Li-ion

Flip Mino / MinoHD 2rd / F360 Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery

This 3.7V, 1000mAh Li-ion battery fits the Flip Mino, Mino F360, F360B, and MinoHD 2rd compact camcorders. It slots into the same battery bay as the original cell and connects via the same three-contact terminal. Dimensions are 52.58 x 34.10 x 5.60mm — a direct physical match to the OEM cell.

• Mino and MinoHD platform fit: The Mino and MinoHD 2rd share the same battery bay geometry, voltage rail, and contact layout. One cell covers both body types without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on a Mino body. The onboard BMS accepted the cell without error, and the camcorder's power indicator tracked charge depletion normally across the full cycle.
• First-use charge cycle on the Mino body: Charge this cell through the Mino's USB port before your first recording session. The Mino's battery indicator calibrates against the cell's discharge curve during that initial cycle — skipping it can cause the indicator to misread remaining charge throughout the cell's life.

Why the Mino battery indicator jumps or reads full when it isn't

The Flip Mino uses a voltage-threshold system to estimate remaining charge — it maps specific voltage points to display segments rather than tracking coulombs. A new Li-ion cell has a slightly different discharge curve shape than an aged original, so the thresholds can misalign. This shows up as the indicator holding on "full" longer than expected, then stepping down in larger jumps. One full charge-and-discharge cycle through the camera body usually re-anchors the thresholds to the new cell's curve.

Mino body shows no power after fitting replacement cell

A deeply discharged Li-ion cell can sit below 3.0V, which puts it outside the range the Mino's protection circuit will pass to the power button. The body reads this as no battery present. Connect the Mino to USB power for 10–15 minutes before pressing the power button — this allows the cell's protection circuit to pre-charge the cell to a voltage the camera will recognise. If the cell reaches 3.4V and the body still shows nothing, check the three contact pins for debris or bent contacts before anything else.
