HP LC200W Mini WiFi Cam Replacement Battery 3.7V 1050mAh

HP LC200W Mini WiFi Cam — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery

This is a 3.7V, 1050mAh (3.89Wh) Li-ion cell for the HP LC200W Mini WiFi Cam. It fits both the LC200W Mini WiFi Cam and the standard LC200W variant. When the original cell degrades, wireless connectivity and continuous recording both suffer — this cell restores the camera to working condition.

• LC200W platform fit: Both LC200W variants share the same 3.7V single-cell architecture and battery bay dimensions (43.30 × 31.30 × 7.10mm). The BMS in each reads cell voltage directly — no proprietary authentication chip on this platform, so physical fit and correct voltage are what matter.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on the LC200W platform. The BMS accepted the cell cleanly, reached full charge voltage without incident, and held stable output across Wi-Fi transmission and recording load simultaneously.
• First-install charge cycle on the LC200W: Run one complete charge cycle through the camera body before extended recording sessions. Some compact surveillance cameras calibrate their battery-remaining indicator against the first full charge cycle — skipping this can cause the indicator to read inaccurately from the first use.

Why the LC200W battery indicator jumps erratically after installing a new cell

The LC200W maps battery percentage using fixed voltage thresholds calibrated against the original cell's discharge curve. A new cell discharges slightly differently, especially in the upper and lower 20% of its range. This causes the indicator to skip or drop suddenly rather than step down evenly. Running one full charge-discharge cycle through the camera body re-anchors those thresholds to the new cell's actual behaviour.

This happens when the cell voltage sits at or near 4.2V on delivery and the camera's BMS sees a cold-start voltage it doesn't recognise as a valid charged state. Remove the cell, reinsert it, then place the camera on charge for at least 15 minutes before powering on. If the icon persists, charge the cell externally to exactly 4.1–4.2V using a compatible Li-ion charger, then reinsert and power on.
