Pure Flip Video F360 Compatible Battery 3.7V 1000mAh

Pure Flip Video / F360 / M2120 — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (02404-0013-00)

This 3.7V, 1000mAh lithium-ion battery replaces the original cell in the Pure Flip Video, F360, F360B, and M2120 compact camcorders. It matches the OEM voltage rail and physical footprint, so it seats in the battery bay without modification. Capacity is 1000mAh — identical to the original specification.

• Flip Video / F360 / M2120 platform fit: These models share the same battery bay dimensions, connector orientation, and 3.7V single-cell architecture. One cell covers the full listed range — no variant selection needed.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through the Flip Video's onboard BMS, which monitors cell voltage and triggers cutoff at approximately 2.75V. The BMS accepted the cell without reset intervention and the protection circuit tripped correctly at low-voltage threshold.
• First-charge protocol for Flip camcorders: Charge the new cell fully via the camera's USB charge circuit before shooting. The Flip Video's fuel gauge maps battery-remaining display against a completed charge cycle — skipping this step can cause the indicator to read inaccurately from the first session.

Why the Flip Video shows a dead battery indicator on a partially charged replacement cell

The Flip Video uses a voltage-threshold method to estimate remaining charge — it does not count coulombs. A new cell's resting voltage after shipping typically sits between 3.6V and 3.75V, which the camera can misread as near-empty if it has no reference baseline for that cell. Running one full charge-to-discharge cycle through the camera body gives the BMS the voltage curve it needs to display charge level accurately. After that calibration cycle, the indicator tracks normally.

Battery percentage jumping erratically during playback or recording

Erratic percentage readings on the Flip Video are almost always a discharge-curve mismatch, not a faulty cell. The camera's indicator firmware expects the OEM cell's specific mid-discharge voltage plateau — a replacement cell with a slightly different curve causes the displayed percentage to skip or drop suddenly. This is most visible during video playback, where sustained processor and LCD draw pulls the cell voltage down in a non-linear pattern the stock firmware wasn't calibrated for. Performing a full charge cycle through the USB port, then discharging fully once, resets the reference and stabilises the display.
