It replaces OEM part EON00168 and restores full recording capability when the original cell degrades. The 60.50 × 44.40 × 9.20mm form factor matches the original battery bay exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePPBCM16, PPBCM18, and PPBCMG18 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    All three models share the same battery bay dimensions, connector pinout, and 3.8V supply rail. The BMS handshake is identical across this Pyle body camera series, so one cell fits all three units without modification.\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 body camera hardware and confirmed the BMS protection circuit responds correctly — tripping and recovering under simulated combined video-plus-WiFi upload draw without false cutoffs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-swap power-up check:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this battery, power the camera on and wait for the ready status indicator before mounting the unit. Pyle body cameras run a self-check sequence on boot that confirms the battery is accepted — skipping this step risks starting a shift on an unverified power state.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eRecording cutting out mid-incident on the PPBCM16 and PPBCM18\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eWhen the camera is recording at full resolution while simultaneously uploading footage over WiFi, the sustained current draw spikes significantly above idle. If the battery voltage sags under that combined load, the BMS protection circuit can trip and cut power to protect the cell. This is more likely with an aged or partially discharged battery than a fresh one at full charge. Starting each shift with a fully charged battery keeps the resting voltage high enough to absorb those draw spikes without triggering a cutoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCamera shows low battery immediately after installing a new cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eA new Li-Polymer cell shipped in storage mode can present a low open-circuit voltage that the camera reads as a depleted battery. The camera's fuel gauge calibrates against the first charge cycle, so an uncalibrated cell will report inaccurate state-of-charge. Plug the camera into the charger and run a full charge to 4.2V per cell before first use. After one complete charge cycle, the indicator should read accurately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43333509546074,"sku":"BWCS-PON168MC-1","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43333509578842,"sku":"BWCS-PON168MC-2","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43333509611610,"sku":"BWCS-PON168MC-3","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-PON168MC-1.webp?v=1778212955","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/pyle-ppbcm16-replacement-battery-38v-2500mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
