It fits the Solar Coach Light 10001, Solar Barn Light 12201, Pagoda GS-104, Baytown GS-106, and over a dozen additional Gama Sonic models. The battery stores charge from the solar panel during daylight and powers the LED array after dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-fixture compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These Gama Sonic fixtures share the same 3.2V LiFePO4 cell format, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. Swapping the GS32V15 across the Solar Coach, Barn, Pagoda, and Baytown lines works because the charge controller in each fixture is calibrated to the same 3.65V per-cell charge ceiling that LiFePO4 requires.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through a full solar-simulation charge sequence and confirmed the BMS accepts charge input starting at approximately 4.5V panel open-circuit voltage. The protection circuit tripped correctly at low-voltage cutoff near 2.5V, preventing deep discharge damage to the cell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanel angle before installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    LiFePO4 cells will not accept charge if the input current falls below the BMS minimum threshold. Position the fixture so the solar panel faces direct sunlight — not shade or bright ambient sky — before assuming the new battery is faulty. Even partial shading can drop panel output below the threshold required to initiate a charge cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the GS32V15 cell stops accepting solar charge over time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eLiFePO4 cells degrade gradually through shallow cycling — short daily charge and discharge cycles that never fully exercise the cell's capacity. In solar lighting, this happens every single day. Over 18–24 months, the cell's internal resistance climbs and charge acceptance drops, so the panel can push current in but the cell stores less of it. The result is a light that dims earlier each night even when the solar panel is clean and correctly angled. Replacing the cell restores full storage capacity; the panel and charge controller do not need replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eLight goes out before dawn even after a full day of sun\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis points to the cell only partially charging during the day, not a faulty LED or driver. A small solar panel — typically outputting 80–150mA in good conditions — needs six or more hours of unobstructed direct sun to charge a 1500mAh cell to capacity. Cloud cover, seasonal low sun angles, or nearby trees can cut that output by 50–70%, leaving the cell at 40–60% state of charge by dusk. Check that the panel surface is clean and verify no new shading has appeared since the fixture was installed. A fully charged GS32V15 cell reads 3.3–3.4V at rest; measure across the terminals after a full sun day to confirm charge state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43416175738970,"sku":"BWCS-GMS325LS-1","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43416175771738,"sku":"BWCS-GMS325LS-2","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43416175804506,"sku":"BWCS-GMS325LS-3","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-GMS325LS-1.webp?v=1779760587","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/gama-sonic-solar-coach-light-10001-replacement-battery-32v-1500mah-lifepo4","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
