It uses OEM part numbers BL-41ZH, BL-41ZHB, EAC62378407, and EAC62778201. Swap it in when the original cell can no longer carry the phone through a normal day of calls, messages, and apps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeon and Optimus series compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same removable battery bay, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — all pulling from a common 3.8V cell platform. One part number covers the full range without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell on an Optimus L50 and monitored BMS cutoff behaviour through full charge and discharge. The protection circuit triggered correctly at low-voltage threshold, and charge acceptance was stable across three consecutive cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge recalibration on first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use after installation, disable fast charging and run one full discharge-to-charge cycle. This gives the fuel gauge IC time to map the new cell's discharge curve before high-current charging begins on an uncalibrated cell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eSudden shutdown at 20–30% on the Leon after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens because the fuel gauge IC is still reading the discharge curve of the old, degraded cell. The new cell has a steeper voltage drop under modem and screen load near the bottom of its range. The phone's power management firmware sees the voltage collapse and triggers an emergency shutdown before the displayed percentage reaches zero. One complete discharge cycle — draining to auto-off, then charging to 100% uninterrupted — resets the coulomb counter reference and corrects the premature cutoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePhone feels warm near the battery during the first charge after replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eA new cell has higher internal impedance than a broken-in one. The charge IC compensates by pushing slightly more voltage during the constant-current phase, which generates more heat than you'd see on a cycle-worn cell. This is normal for the first one or two charges and settles as the cell's impedance drops with use. If the phone stays warm beyond the second full charge cycle, check that the battery contacts are fully seated and no debris is trapped in the bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43404133597274,"sku":"BWCS-LMS345XL-1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43404133630042,"sku":"BWCS-LMS345XL-2","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43404133662810,"sku":"BWCS-LMS345XL-3","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-LMS345XL-1.webp?v=1779369059","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/lg-optimus-c40-replacement-battery-38v-1900mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
