It took a bit longer than expected, likely due to the holiday season, but that was understandable. So far, the battery seems to be working well!

Battery Care Tips

🔹 Getting Started

Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.

🔹 Keep It Healthy

Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.

Delivery and Shipping

🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Garmin Virb X / VIRB XE — 3.8V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (361-00080-00)

This 3.8V, 980mAh lithium-polymer cell replaces the original battery in the Garmin Virb X, VIRB XE, and Virb X Compact action cameras. It matches the OEM part numbers 361-00080-00 and 010-12256-01. Capacity is 3.72Wh — identical to the factory specification.

  • Virb X and VIRB XE platform fit: Both cameras share the same compact 29.40 × 27.60 × 20.20mm cell format, identical voltage rail, and the same BMS handshake protocol — one cell covers both bodies without modification.
  • Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through the Virb XE body under continuous 1080p recording load. The BMS accepted the cell on first install, reported charge state correctly, and maintained stable voltage through discharge without spurious cutoff.
  • First-cycle initialisation on the Virb XE: Run one full charge cycle through the camera body or OEM charger before your first shoot. Some Garmin Virb BMS firmware requires this single in-body charge pass to calibrate the battery-remaining display accurately on a new cell.

Why the Virb X battery percentage jumps erratically after installing a replacement cell

The Virb X maps battery percentage to a fixed voltage-threshold table stored in firmware. A new lithium-polymer cell has a slightly different discharge curve shape than an aged original — particularly in the mid-range between 3.6V and 3.9V. The camera reads voltage correctly but translates it against a curve the fresh cell doesn't follow exactly. One full charge-discharge cycle lets the BMS recalibrate its internal state-of-charge estimate against real cell behaviour. After that cycle, percentage readout stabilises.

This happens when the replacement cell voltage sits below 3.5V on first install — either from storage self-discharge or a conservative shipping charge state. The Virb X BMS interprets any cell below its low-voltage threshold as depleted and refuses to boot. Connect the camera to its OEM charger immediately and leave it for at least 20 minutes before attempting to power on. Once the cell climbs above 3.6V, the BMS re-initialises and the camera starts normally.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Garmin Virb XE shows the battery icon as empty straight out of the box — is the replacement cell dead?

It isn't dead. Replacement cells ship at a reduced state of charge for transport safety, and the Virb XE BMS refuses to boot if cell voltage has dropped below its low-voltage cutoff — typically around 3.5V. Plug the camera directly into the OEM charger and leave it for 20–30 minutes without pressing the power button. Once the cell recovers above 3.6V, the camera will start normally on the next power attempt.

The battery percentage on my Virb X keeps jumping — it reads 80%, drops to 40%, then climbs back up mid-recording. What's happening?

The Virb X maps display percentage to a voltage-threshold table calibrated against the original cell's discharge curve. A fresh replacement cell discharges slightly differently in the 3.6V–3.9V mid-range, so the camera misreads state of charge and the percentage readout bounces. Run one complete charge-to-full, then record until the camera shuts itself down — this single full cycle lets the BMS align its estimates to the new cell's actual curve, and the percentage display stabilises after that.

My Virb X drains noticeably faster in cold weather during ski or winter shooting — is the replacement cell faulty?

The cell is behaving normally. Lithium-polymer chemistry loses usable capacity as temperature drops — internal resistance rises and the cell's effective voltage ceiling falls, which triggers low-voltage cutoff earlier than it would at room temperature. Keep the camera inside a jacket pocket between shots and only bring it out to record. Starting each clip with a warmer cell means the BMS won't hit cutoff prematurely, and you recover most of the rated 980mAh capacity once the cell warms back above 10°C.
