It slots into the same battery compartment as the original and connects to the camera's BMS via the same contact arrangement. Replace it when the original cell no longer holds a charge or the camera shuts down unexpectedly during a shoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eILLum A1 and ILLum F1 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both models draw from the same 3.7V rail and use an identical battery form factor and contact layout. The DC-A950 part number covers both — no adapter or modification needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this cell through a full charge-discharge cycle and verified that the BMS accepted the replacement without a fault flag. Capacity output matched the 2100mAh spec within normal tolerance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-use charge cycle for ILLum cameras:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Insert the new cell and charge it fully through the camera body or OEM charger before your first shoot. The ILLum BMS calibrates its battery-remaining indicator against the first complete charge cycle — skipping this step often causes the display to read inaccurately from the start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the ILLum's battery percentage jumps after fitting a new cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe ILLum maps its battery-remaining display to a voltage-threshold curve built from the original cell's discharge profile. A new cell discharges along a slightly different curve — flatter in the mid-range, steeper at the low end. The camera's indicator logic reads those voltage steps as erratic capacity changes and shows jumps of 10–20% rather than a smooth decline. One full charge cycle completed inside the camera body resets the baseline, and the display stabilises from the next discharge onward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eILLum showing \"no battery\" or refusing to power on with a valid replacement cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe ILLum performs a BMS handshake on power-up to confirm the cell is within an acceptable voltage window. A new battery that has self-discharged in storage may sit below the camera's minimum acceptance threshold — typically around 3.2V — causing the body to reject it entirely rather than display a low-battery warning. Place the cell in an external charger rated for Li-ion until it reaches at least 3.6V, then reinsert it. The camera should recognise it immediately at that voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43333699502170,"sku":"BWCS-LYT100MC-1","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43333699534938,"sku":"BWCS-LYT100MC-2","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43333699567706,"sku":"BWCS-LYT100MC-3","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-LYT100MC_1.webp?v=1778213017","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/lytro-illum-a1-replacement-battery-37v-2100mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
