It matches the OEM voltage rail and connector layout for these models. Capacity is 2500mAh (46.25Wh), consistent with the original specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFC6404 \/ FC6405 \/ FC6168 \/ FC6169 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same 18.5V motor drive circuit, battery connector pinout, and BMS communication protocol — one cell pack covers the group without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this battery through discharge under sustained motor load. The BMS held the voltage curve within spec and triggered protection cutoff correctly at the low-voltage threshold without false trips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDock charging behaviour on the FC6404:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Do not leave the vacuum sitting on the charging dock permanently. Continuous dock contact applies a trickle current after the cell reaches full charge, accelerating capacity fade over months. Charge to full, then remove from the dock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eSuction dropping before the battery indicator reaches low\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens when the motor draws more current than the battery's discharge curve can sustain at that state of charge. A partially blocked filter forces the motor to work harder, pulling current spikes that drag cell voltage down early. The BMS reads the voltage drop and begins throttling power before the indicator registers a problem. Clear the filter first — if suction recovers, the battery is not the fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eMotor cuts out mid-clean then restarts after a pause\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis is a BMS overcurrent trip, not a dead battery. When suction is restricted — blocked nozzle, clogged filter, or hair wrapped around the brush — the motor stalls briefly and draws a current spike above the BMS threshold. The BMS shuts the output, the motor stops, and the circuit resets after a few seconds. Check and clear any blockage, then restart. If cut-outs continue on a clean vacuum, measure resting cell voltage — a healthy pack should read at or above 18.5V after a full charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43428019142746,"sku":"BWCS-PHC640VX-1","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43428019175514,"sku":"BWCS-PHC640VX-2","price":76.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43428019208282,"sku":"BWCS-PHC640VX-3","price":85.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-PHC640VX-1.webp?v=1779933849","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/philips-fc6404-replacement-battery-185v-2500mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
