Oricom Secure SC740 Replacement Battery 3.7V 1400mAh

Oricom Secure SC740 / SC895 — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (NV604464)

This is a 3.7V 1400mAh (5.18Wh) Li-ion replacement battery for the Oricom Secure SC740 and Secure SC895 baby monitor parent units. Part number NV604464 matches the OEM connector and BMS handshake on both models. Fit the battery and the parent unit powers on — no modification needed.

• SC740 and SC895 shared platform: Both models run the same parent unit hardware, share the NV604464 battery footprint, and use the same 3.7V charging circuit. One battery covers both units without any wiring changes.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through full charge and discharge cycles on the SC895 parent unit. The BMS accepted the charge handshake immediately and held a stable output voltage across screen-on and screen-off states.
• Re-pair after power interruption: When the parent unit drops to zero volts — as it does during a battery swap — it loses its stored link to the camera unit. After fitting this battery, run the pairing sequence from the SC740 or SC895 menu before expecting live video feed.

Parent unit battery draining overnight with screen on

The SC740 and SC895 parent units draw significantly more current when the LCD backlight stays active through the night. A 1400mAh cell at 3.7V has a fixed energy budget, and continuous screen-on operation is the single biggest drain on that budget. The parent unit has a screen timeout setting in the display menu — activating it cuts the overnight draw considerably. Set screen timeout to the shortest interval that still lets you check the display without waking the baby.

Night vision not working after fitting a new battery

The infrared LEDs in the camera unit need the parent unit to be operating above a minimum voltage threshold to maintain a stable wireless link and request the IR mode. If the parent unit battery is partially discharged straight out of the box, the radio signal can be weak enough to drop the IR command. Charge the parent unit to full before testing night vision — a fully charged cell sits at approximately 4.2V. If night vision still fails after a full charge, re-pair the parent and camera units and test again.
