It fits the battery bay directly and connects to the same charge IC and fuel gauge system the phone shipped with. Capacity is 2050mAh at 7.79Wh — identical to the factory specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIQ4516 Tornado platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both model name variants — IQ4516 and Tornado — share the same PCB layout, connector pitch, and BMS handshake protocol. The cell dimensions are 81.40 × 60.26 × 2.86mm, matching the original cavity 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 IQ4516 platform. The BMS accepted the cell without a fault flag, and the charge IC completed a full constant-current\/constant-voltage charge sequence to 4.35V cutoff.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge recalibration on first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use after installation, disable fast charging and run one complete discharge-to-charge cycle. This lets the fuel gauge IC build an accurate discharge curve against the new cell before the charge IC begins pushing higher current into an uncalibrated cell.\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 Fly IQ4516 after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe IQ4516 fuel gauge IC retains the discharge curve it learned from the old, degraded cell. When the new cell is installed, the IC underestimates how much charge remains at mid-range state-of-charge. Under modem or display load, voltage sags faster than the IC predicts, and the phone shuts off to protect the cell — even though the percentage shown was 25% or higher. One full discharge cycle from 100% to automatic shutdown, followed by a full charge without interruption, forces the coulomb counter to recalibrate. After that cycle, percentage readings stabilise and premature shutdowns stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePhone warm near the battery during the first few charges\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eA new Li-Polymer cell has higher internal impedance than a worn cell, and the charge IC on the IQ4516 initially pushes current calibrated to a lower-impedance load. The result is slightly elevated heat at the battery contact area during the first two or three charge sessions. This is normal — internal impedance drops as the cell forms through early cycles. If the phone becomes hot to the touch rather than warm, interrupt the charge and check the USB cable and port for debris or corrosion before resuming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43404221186138,"sku":"BWCS-GNN905SL-1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43404221218906,"sku":"BWCS-GNN905SL-2","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43404221251674,"sku":"BWCS-GNN905SL-3","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-GNN905SL-1.webp?v=1779369391","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/fly-iq4516-replacement-battery-38v-2050mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
