It fits the DOTSE-21G16iws, Dot SE\/R-111UK, Dot S\/B-003 IT, Dot S\/B-017UK, and one additional Dot S\/B variant. Voltage and connector match the original spec — no modification needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDot SE and Dot S\/B platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share a common 11.1V three-cell architecture and the same battery bay dimensions. The BMS handshake protocol is identical across the range, so one cell covers all listed variants without firmware conflict.\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 a Dot SE unit. The BMS accepted charge without interruption, voltage held steady under combined CPU and display load, and the protection circuit tripped cleanly at the low-voltage cutoff threshold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-swap calibration on the Dot SE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting, run the battery down to hibernate-cutoff, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This resets the BIOS battery learn cycle and clears the inaccurate health warning that appears after every cell swap on this platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the Dot SE BIOS reports poor battery health after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Dot SE stores battery health data in EEPROM on the original cell. When a new cell is installed, that stored data no longer matches the actual chemistry — the BIOS reads it as degraded. This is not a fault with the replacement. One full discharge-to-hibernate followed by an uninterrupted charge to 100% prompts the BIOS to rewrite the learn cycle against the new cell. After two to three cycles, the health indicator normalises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eDot SE shutting down at 20–30% charge shown on screen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens when the fuel gauge IC has not yet calibrated against the new cell's actual capacity curve. The gauge was trained on the old cell's voltage profile and triggers shutdown earlier than it should. It is not a cell defect. Run two full discharge-to-hibernate cycles followed by full uninterrupted charges — by the third cycle the gauge recalibrates and shutdown will align with the correct low-voltage threshold near 10.8V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43410789957722,"sku":"BWCS-AC260NB-1","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43410789990490,"sku":"BWCS-AC260NB-2","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43410790023258,"sku":"BWCS-AC260NB-3","price":87.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-AC260NB-1.webp?v=1779581090","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/packard-bell-dot-se-dotse-21g16iws-replacement-battery-111v-4400mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
