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.

HP iPAQ 3600 Series — 3.7V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (253514-B21)

This 3.7V, 2600mAh lithium-polymer cell replaces the original battery in the HP iPAQ 3600 series pocket PC. It fits the iPAQ 3630, 3635, and 3641, along with 27 additional models in the same family. Voltage and connector match the OEM spec — no modifications needed to seat and run the battery.

  • iPAQ 3600 series compatibility: Every model in this family runs the same 3.7V power rail with an identical battery bay and connector pinout. The BMS handshake is consistent across the lineup, so one cell covers the full range without firmware conflicts.
  • Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on an iPAQ 3635. The BMS held cutoff correctly at both ends — no overcharge trip, no undervoltage lockout at normal operating load.
  • RAM data sync before swap: The iPAQ 3600 stores open files, appointments, and application state in volatile SRAM powered directly by the main battery. Sync all data to your host PC via ActiveSync before pulling the old cell — a full power loss with unsaved data in RAM means that data is gone.

Why the iPAQ 3600 drops to a black screen mid-session without warning

The iPAQ 3600 has no staged low-battery warning before the BMS cuts power to protect the cell. Once cell voltage drops below approximately 3.0V under load, the device shuts off instantly. An aged original battery sags faster under display and CPU load than the voltage meter shows at idle, so the reported charge level looks fine right up until cutoff. Replacing a cell that shows rapid voltage sag under active use — not just standby — is the correct fix.

iPAQ 3600 not booting after new battery installed

A fresh replacement cell ships partially charged — typically 30–50% — and the iPAQ boot sequence draws a short high-current spike that can trip the BMS if voltage is too low. The device shows nothing on screen and appears dead, but the battery is functional. Connect the iPAQ to the OEM cradle or AC adapter and charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting a cold boot. If the device still won't start after a full charge cycle, hold the reset button for 10 seconds to clear a hung boot state.

Frequently Asked Questions

My iPAQ 3600 lost all my contacts and calendar after I swapped the battery — why did this happen?

The iPAQ 3600 stores contacts, calendar entries, and application data in SRAM, which requires continuous battery power to hold its contents. The moment you remove the old cell and before the new one makes contact, that RAM loses power and everything stored there is wiped. This is not a fault with the replacement battery — it is how volatile memory works. Before any future battery swap, run a full ActiveSync sync to your PC so all data is written to persistent storage first.

The iPAQ 3600 shows a full charge icon but the device still shuts off after light use — what's wrong?

This happens when the original battery's internal resistance has climbed high enough that it reads full voltage at rest but collapses under even moderate CPU or display load. The BMS sees the voltage drop past the cutoff threshold and shuts the device down to protect the cell — the charge indicator was never tracking actual capacity, only resting voltage. A new cell with lower internal resistance eliminates the sag. Charge the replacement fully before the first session and confirm the voltage holds above 3.6V during active use.

Wireless sync via ActiveSync keeps dropping on my iPAQ 3630 after fitting the new battery — what's causing it?

The 3630's radio draws more current than any other subsystem on the device, and it is sensitive to voltage dips during transmission bursts. If the new battery has not been fully charged before use, the voltage sags enough during radio transmit cycles to cause the wireless stack to reset. Charge the cell to 100% before attempting a wireless sync — not just a USB cradle sync. If drops continue after a full charge, check that the battery connector is fully seated, as a loose contact raises effective resistance and worsens voltage sag under radio load.
