It slots in place of the original factory cell when the existing battery no longer holds a usable charge across a full day. Voltage and connector geometry match the OEM spec directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoto C variant compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The Moto C, Moto C Dual SIM, Moto C Dual SIM TD-LTE IN, and XT1758 all share the same battery bay dimensions and 3.8V power rail. The HC40 connector pinout and BMS handshake are consistent across these variants, so one cell fits all of them.\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 the Moto C platform. The BMS accepted charge from both USB and wall adapter without triggering a fault state, and protection circuitry responded correctly to over-discharge and over-current conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge recalibration on first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this cell, disable fast charging for the first complete discharge-charge cycle. The Moto C's fuel gauge IC is calibrated to the old cell's discharge curve. One full cycle at standard charge current gives the coulomb counter enough data to reset its reference point accurately.\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 Moto C after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Moto C's processor, modem, and display draw current simultaneously during active use. A new cell with a different internal impedance profile than the original can hit a voltage cliff earlier than the OS expects — the fuel gauge IC still thinks the cell will sustain voltage down to the calibrated floor, but the actual cell voltage collapses under load. The phone interprets this as a hard low-voltage event and cuts power immediately. One full discharge-charge cycle recalibrates the fuel gauge against the new cell curve and moves the shutdown threshold to the correct point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eOS reporting wrong battery percentage after HC40 installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Android fuel gauge IC on the Moto C stores a learned discharge model for the previous cell. When a new HC40 goes in, the stored model no longer matches the actual cell chemistry, causing the percentage to jump or report incorrectly. This is a coulomb counter calibration issue, not a fault with the replacement cell. Drain the battery fully until the phone shuts off, then charge uninterrupted to 100% — one complete cycle resets the reference and stabilises percentage reporting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43392050626650,"sku":"BWCS-MXT175SL-1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43392050659418,"sku":"BWCS-MXT175SL-2","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43392050692186,"sku":"BWCS-MXT175SL-3","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-MXT175SL-1.webp?v=1779143526","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/motorola-moto-c-replacement-battery-38v-2200mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
