It fits the original battery slot and restores full wireless operation on Shield gaming platforms. Capacity is 1800mAh (4.32Wh), matching the OEM cell specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShield Controller compatibility (P2920 \/ Shield TV):\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    All three listed models share the same 2.4V Ni-MH cell format, connector pinout, and charge circuit handshake — the controller's charge IC expects a Ni-MH chemistry signature, not Li-ion, so the cell swap is direct without any firmware concern.\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 Shield Controller platform. The BMS accepted charge immediately, reached full charge voltage without fault flags, and the controller held wireless pairing throughout discharge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge calibration after swap:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use, run one complete wireless play session through to automatic controller shutoff before reconnecting the charge cable — the Shield Controller's fuel gauge IC sets its empty reference point against the first full discharge of the installed cell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the Shield Controller loses wireless connection before the battery indicator reads empty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells have a steep voltage drop near end of discharge. When wireless transmission and rumble motors fire simultaneously, the combined current draw pulls cell voltage down sharply — enough to trip the controller's low-voltage cutoff before the fuel gauge registers empty. This is a load-spike response, not a defective cell. The fix is completing two to three full conditioning cycles so the cell reaches its rated capacity and the voltage drop curve flattens slightly under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eShield Controller fuel gauge jumping or reading incorrectly after cell replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Shield Controller uses a fuel gauge IC that tracks capacity against a stored discharge curve from the previous cell. Swapping in a new cell resets nothing automatically — the IC continues referencing the old curve until it recalibrates. This produces sudden jumps in the battery indicator, either skipping bars or dropping fast early in a session. Run two full discharge-to-cutoff cycles without interruption and the IC maps the new cell's actual discharge profile, restoring accurate readings. After the second cycle, indicator behaviour should stabilise at a steady step-down pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43377536598106,"sku":"BWCS-NSP920SL-1","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43377536630874,"sku":"BWCS-NSP920SL-2","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43377536663642,"sku":"BWCS-NSP920SL-3","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-NSP920SL-1.webp?v=1778767243","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/nvidia-shield-game-controller-replacement-battery-24v-1800mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
