It fits the EP39-22079, 1202-P-6229, and 291980 designations, along with the Vantage magnifying glass line. Voltage and capacity match the original spec exactly — no firmware flags on insertion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEP39-22079 and 1202-P-6229 platform:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same 7.2V cell stack and connector footprint. The illumination circuit and magnification drive rail both pull from a single battery bus, so a cell mismatch on either voltage or chemistry trips the protection circuit before the unit powers on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on Keeler-compatible test rigs. The BMS accepted charge without fault codes, and the illumination circuit held steady voltage across the draw range typical of clinical examination sessions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNi-MH cycle conditioning on ophthalmic instruments:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Keeler's illumination circuits draw inconsistent current — brief high peaks during focus adjustment, then low idle. That pattern causes new Ni-MH cells to under-report capacity for the first three to five charge cycles. Run the battery through a full discharge-to-charge cycle before relying on it for a full clinic session.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy Keeler illumination dims before the battery indicator hits empty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells show a steep voltage drop in the final 20% of capacity. Keeler's illumination circuit is voltage-sensitive — as cell voltage sags below roughly 6.8V under load, brightness drops noticeably even though the battery isn't fully discharged. The battery indicator reads remaining charge capacity, not voltage under load, so the two don't track together at the tail end of a cycle. Recharging before the indicator reads empty prevents this voltage sag from affecting examination quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eFocus motor slow or non-responsive during examination\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe focus drive motor in these instruments requires a minimum voltage threshold to move under load. At low battery, the motor may turn sluggishly or not respond to adjustment at all — while the illumination lamp is still lit. This happens because the lamp draws first and the motor drive circuit gets whatever voltage remains. If focus response feels stiff or delayed, check open-circuit battery voltage — anything below 7.0V at rest means the cell needs charging before continued use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43381523447898,"sku":"BWCS-KHE622MD-1","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43381523480666,"sku":"BWCS-KHE622MD-2","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43381523513434,"sku":"BWCS-KHE622MD-3","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-KHE622MD-1.webp?v=1778901369","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/keeler-ep39-22079-replacement-battery-72v-2500mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
