It slots into the APos A8 directly, restoring cordless operation for card payments in retail and hospitality environments. Voltage and cell format match the original LD18650D specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAPos A8 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The APos A8 uses a dual-cell 18650 Li-ion pack at 7.4V nominal. The terminal's power management IC checks cell voltage at boot — a mismatched voltage rail or incorrect connector pinout will prevent the device from completing its startup sequence. This battery matches both.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this battery through charge, idle, and active transaction loads. The BMS handled the combined draw from the display, wireless radio, and receipt printer without tripping overcurrent protection. Charge termination cut off cleanly at 8.4V.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst deployment on the APos A8:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting, complete one full transaction cycle — including a printed receipt — before going live. The APos A8 maps battery capacity during normal operation and needs at least one complete power cycle to display the charge indicator accurately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eTerminal not completing PCI boot sequence after battery swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe APos A8 runs a PCI-compliant boot check that includes a power integrity test before handing off to the payment application. A new battery that hasn't yet been accepted by the BMS handshake can stall this sequence. The terminal may display a loading screen and then shut down. Charge the battery to full, power the terminal off completely, then reboot — one full charge-boot cycle is usually enough for the BMS to register as trusted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery indicator stuck at 99% after first full charge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNew Li-ion cells arrive partially charged and the charge IC enters top-off mode when it detects a cell already near capacity. The APos A8 charge indicator reads from the IC's state, not raw cell voltage, so it shows 99% while the top-off phase completes. This is normal behaviour and not a fault with the battery or charger. Leave the terminal on charge for an additional 30–45 minutes and the indicator will step to 100% once the IC exits top-off mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43415929684058,"sku":"BWCS-LQM300BL-1","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43415929716826,"sku":"BWCS-LQM300BL-2","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43415929749594,"sku":"BWCS-LQM300BL-3","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-LQM300BL-1.webp?v=1779758086","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/ingenico-apos-a8-replacement-battery-74v-2600mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
