It replaces the original rechargeable cell when the existing battery no longer holds charge or fails to power the device. Dimensions are 66.78 × 16.70 × 5.96mm — confirm these against your existing cell before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMP300 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The MP300 runs on a single Ni-MH cell at 1.2V nominal. The voltage rail and physical footprint must match exactly — swapping to a different chemistry or cell size will prevent the battery door from closing or cause the device to misread charge state.\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 the MP300 platform. The device accepted a full charge without error, and the battery protection circuit held within the expected Ni-MH discharge curve through audio playback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst charge after installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Connect the MP300 to its charger immediately after fitting this battery and allow a full, uninterrupted charge before first use. Media players using Ni-MH cells can enter a low-voltage protection state after storage — a complete initial charge resets the threshold and prevents the device from cutting power prematurely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePlayback cutting out before the battery indicator shows empty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe MP300 uses a voltage-threshold indicator rather than a fuel gauge. As a Ni-MH cell ages, its voltage sags earlier under the load of the audio amplifier — even while the indicator still shows charge remaining. The device reads the sag as a cutoff condition and shuts down. A fresh cell restores the flat discharge curve that Ni-MH is known for, and playback should run through to the low-battery warning without unexpected shutdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery percentage jumping erratically after fitting a new cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eAfter a cell swap, the MP300's voltage-based indicator needs several charge and discharge cycles to recalibrate to the new cell's behaviour. On the first cycle, the percentage reading may jump or drop suddenly — this is not a fault with the battery. Run two to three full charge-to-discharge cycles without interruption. By the third cycle, the indicator should track consistently against actual remaining capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43381331394650,"sku":"BWCS-VL700F6-1","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43381331427418,"sku":"BWCS-VL700F6-2","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43381331460186,"sku":"BWCS-VL700F6-3","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-VL700F6-1.webp?v=1778900030","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/rave-mp300-replacement-battery-12v-1200mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
