It slots into the same bay as the original cell and connects to the same BMS connector on the motherboard. Capacity figures come from the product data — not extrapolated from a third-party source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNP8950–NP8955 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These four models share the same 15.2V four-cell Li-Polymer architecture, the same physical bay dimensions, and the same BMS handshake protocol. One replacement cell covers all four without any adapter or firmware change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through charge, discharge, and full CPU-plus-display load draws. The BMS held voltage without tripping under sustained load, and the protection circuit cut off cleanly at the low-voltage threshold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBIOS learn cycle after swap:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this cell, run one full discharge 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 replacement on these Sager notebooks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBIOS reporting battery health as poor after fitting the new cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Sager NP8950 series BIOS reads health data stored in the old cell's EEPROM and flags any new cell as degraded until a calibration cycle is complete. This is not a fault with the replacement — it is a firmware artifact from the previous cell's stored history. Run a full discharge to hibernate cutoff followed by an uninterrupted charge to 100%. After one or two full cycles, the BIOS health indicator resets and reports correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eLaptop shuts down at 20–30% charge shown on the status bar\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 discharge curve. The percentage reading diverges from true cell voltage, and the system shuts down at what it believes is a safe floor — but is actually a miscalculated point. The fix is two to three full discharge-and-charge cycles, which force the fuel gauge IC to map the new cell's voltage-to-capacity curve. After calibration, the reported percentage and actual cutoff voltage align — verified at 2.8V per cell at shutdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43409555914842,"sku":"BWCS-CLP950NB-1","price":93.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43409555947610,"sku":"BWCS-CLP950NB-2","price":111.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43409555980378,"sku":"BWCS-CLP950NB-3","price":124.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-CLP950NB-1.webp?v=1779580013","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/sager-np8953-replacement-battery-152v-3500mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
