It replaces the original WT341 cell when capacity has degraded and the phone no longer holds a useful charge. Fit is direct — same footprint at 89.40 × 64.70 × 4.70mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eG21 and G21 2022 fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both model years use the same WT341 cell spec — identical connector pinout, voltage rail at 3.85V nominal, and the same BMS handshake with the phone's charge IC. One replacement covers both variants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on the G21 platform. The BMS accepted the charge IC handshake without error. Voltage under screen-on and modem load held stable across the full discharge curve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle fuel gauge recalibration:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use after installation, disable fast charging and run one full discharge-to-charge cycle. This lets the fuel gauge IC map the new cell's discharge curve before any high-current fast charge session pushes current into an uncalibrated cell — preventing erratic percentage readings from the first day.\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 Nokia G21 after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis is a voltage cliff issue, not a defective cell. A fresh Li-Polymer cell has a discharge curve the phone's fuel gauge IC has never seen. When the modem or screen draws a current spike, the cell's instantaneous voltage drops below the shutdown threshold even though the coulomb counter still shows capacity remaining. The fuel gauge IC was calibrated against the worn original cell — it does not yet know where the new cell's real floor sits. One complete discharge cycle down to automatic shutdown, followed by a full charge, recalibrates the IC against the new curve and eliminates premature cutoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eUSB fast charge not activating after replacing the WT341\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Nokia G21's charge IC negotiates fast charge protocol on the first handshake after boot. If the new battery's BMS presents a state-of-charge the IC treats as out of range, it falls back to standard 5V charging and stays there. Power the phone off completely, connect the charger, then power on — this forces a fresh protocol negotiation. If fast charge still does not activate, let the cell reach at least 15% via standard charge first, then reconnect the charger to trigger renegotiation at a valid SOC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43391805980762,"sku":"BWCS-NKG210SL-1","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43391806013530,"sku":"BWCS-NKG210SL-2","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43391806046298,"sku":"BWCS-NKG210SL-3","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-NKG210SL-1.webp?v=1779142223","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/nokia-g21-replacement-battery-385v-4900mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
