It matches the original voltage rail and connector configuration these units require to run sensor modules and logging functions. No OEM part number is published for this pack — fitment is confirmed against the GC724A and GC72450521 chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGC724A and GC72450521 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both models share the same 11.1V three-cell architecture and BMS handshake protocol. The pack dimensions — 214.60 × 52.52 × 19.50mm — match the battery bay on both units without modification to the housing or connector.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through instrument power-on, probe initialisation, and active data logging. The BMS held steady through the current spike at sensor power-up and maintained voltage within tolerance across a sustained logging load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-use calibration on the GC724A:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing, run a full calibration cycle through the instrument menu before field deployment. The GC724A maps battery state during calibration — skipping this step causes premature low-battery warnings to appear during your first measurement session in the field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBMS cutoff when the GC724A initialises a probe or sensor module\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eWhen a probe or external sensor module powers up, the GC724A draws a short, sharp current spike to initialise the module's internal circuitry. On a degraded or deeply discharged pack, this spike can push the instantaneous draw past the BMS overcurrent threshold, triggering an immediate shutdown. This replacement pack is rated to handle that initialisation load — the cells and protection circuit are matched to the 11.1V platform's startup profile. If cutoffs continue after fitting this battery, check that the probe connector is fully seated, as a loose connection increases contact resistance and worsens the voltage drop at startup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eGC724A showing erratic battery percentage at every reboot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eWhen a new cell pack replaces one the instrument has been tracking for months, the voltage-threshold indicator inside the GC724A has no baseline for the new cells and reads the open-circuit voltage against its old calibration map. This produces percentage jumps — commonly swinging 20–30% between reboots — until the instrument builds a new discharge profile. Run two or three full discharge-and-charge cycles through normal instrument use, then perform a calibration cycle from the instrument menu. After that process, the display should stabilise; a resting voltage of approximately 11.1V at full charge confirms the pack is performing correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43360771211354,"sku":"BWCS-GME300MD-1","price":130.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43360771244122,"sku":"BWCS-GME300MD-2","price":154.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43360771276890,"sku":"BWCS-GME300MD-3","price":172.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-GME300MD-1.webp?v=1778616259","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/gemcomm-gc724a-replacement-battery-111v-5200mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
