Laryngoscope Handle. It matches the original form factor and connector, fitting the cylindrical handle cavity without modification. Cross-references include BATT\/110904-A1, X-02.99.380, X-02.99.382, and X-002.99.382.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeta Handle platform compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same cylindrical cell housing, voltage rail at 3.6V, and BMS handshake protocol — which is why one cell covers ophthalmoscopes, laryngoscope handles, and general Beta diagnostic handles across the range.\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 a Beta Handle and confirmed the BMS accepted the new cell, passed self-test, and held stable voltage under lamp load without dropping into low-battery cutoff prematurely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-installation self-test protocol:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this cell, let the device complete its full power-on self-test without switching it off mid-sequence. Heine Beta devices run BMS verification at startup — interrupting that sequence can trigger a persistent false battery fault that clears only on the next full, uninterrupted reboot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eLow battery alarm on a Beta 200 immediately after a confirmed full charge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Beta 200's charge controller calibrates its low-battery threshold against the OEM cell's internal resistance profile. A new Ni-MH cell starts with slightly higher internal resistance than a broken-in cell, so the BMS reads it as marginal on the first few cycles. This is not a defective battery — it is the BMS applying a conservative cutoff. Run one complete charge-discharge cycle before clinical use and the threshold recalibrates to the new cell. After that first cycle, the alarm clears and the device reads charge state accurately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBeta Handle won't power on after the replacement cell sat unused for several weeks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells self-discharge at roughly 1–2% per day. A cell stored uninstalled for three to four weeks can drop below the BMS recovery threshold — typically around 3.0V — and the device will not power on at all. Place the battery in the charger for a full cycle before attempting to power the handle. If the charger indicator does not respond within the first 15 minutes, remove the cell, wait 60 seconds, and reinsert it to allow the charge IC to retry the recovery pulse from a standing start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43381435203674,"sku":"BWCS-HNZ382MX-1","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43381435236442,"sku":"BWCS-HNZ382MX-2","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43381435269210,"sku":"BWCS-HNZ382MX-3","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-HNZ382MX-1.webp?v=1778900750","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/heine-beta-handles-replacement-battery-36v-1000mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
