OEM part number BL-44E1F. It slots into the removable battery bay on these devices and reconnects the existing contacts without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVS995 \/ V20 platform compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The VS995, V20, H990ds, and US996 all run the same removable battery bay with identical connector placement and voltage rails. LG used BL-44E1F across these variants specifically because the BMS handshake and cutoff thresholds are matched to the Snapdragon 820 power delivery requirements on this platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through a full discharge-charge sequence on a VS995 unit. The BMS accepted charge current without fault codes, held the 4.35V upper cutoff, and the protection circuit tripped correctly at the low-voltage threshold under a sustained load pull.\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 for one complete discharge-charge cycle. This lets the fuel gauge IC build a new discharge curve against the replacement cell before high-current charging pushes amperage into an uncalibrated state register.\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 VS995 after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe VS995 fuel gauge IC stores a learned discharge curve from the old cell. When a new cell goes in, the IC still references that old curve. At around 20–30% reported charge, the new cell's actual voltage drops below what the modem and display draw can sustain — even though the gauge still shows capacity remaining. The phone shuts off to protect the cell. One full slow-charge cycle forces the coulomb counter to reset against the new cell's actual voltage profile, and the false-floor shutdowns stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eUSB fast charge not activating on the first cycle after replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eSome users see standard 5W charging only after installing a new BL-44E1F, even on chargers that previously delivered fast charge. The charge IC negotiates the fast-charge protocol only after confirming BMS readiness — on a fresh cell that hasn't completed a full cycle, the IC defaults to a conservative current profile. Run one complete discharge down to automatic shutoff and charge back to 100% on a standard charger first. After that cycle, fast charge re-enables on the next connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43392088965210,"sku":"BWCS-LVH910SL-1","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43392088997978,"sku":"BWCS-LVH910SL-2","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43392089030746,"sku":"BWCS-LVH910SL-3","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-LVH910SL-1.webp?v=1779143685","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/lg-vs995-replacement-battery-385v-3000mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
