It replaces OEM part AB653850CA and its variants. Fit the battery when the original cell no longer holds charge through a normal day of calls and messaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSCH-i220, SCH-I627, and SGH-T939 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same 3.7V cell format, connector pinout, and BMS communication protocol. One cell fits the full group — no firmware differences affect the handshake.\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 the SCH-i220 platform. The BMS accepted charge current correctly and terminated at the expected cutoff voltage without fault flags.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge recalibration on first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use after installation, run one complete discharge down to automatic shutdown, then charge uninterrupted to 100% before enabling any fast-charge option. This gives the fuel gauge IC a clean reference curve against the new cell — skipping this step is the most common cause of erratic percentage readings on a fresh install.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the SCH-i220 reports wrong battery percentage after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe fuel gauge IC stores a discharge curve calibrated to the original cell's internal resistance and capacity. A new cell has different characteristics, so the IC maps charge state against the wrong curve. The phone may show 40% remaining and then jump to 10% with no load change. One full discharge-charge cycle without interruption forces the IC to re-learn the curve against the replacement cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eSudden shutdown at 20–30% on the replacement cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens when the phone places a brief high-current draw — an outgoing call connecting, backlight at full brightness, or radio searching for signal — and the cell voltage drops below the BMS cutoff threshold faster than the fuel gauge IC expects. The IC still reads 20–30% because it hasn't recalibrated, but the cell voltage has already hit the floor. Complete the recalibration cycle first. If shutdowns persist after calibration, confirm resting cell voltage reads above 3.6V with a multimeter before reinstalling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43405132759130,"sku":"BWCS-SMI200SL-1","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43405132791898,"sku":"BWCS-SMI200SL-2","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43405132824666,"sku":"BWCS-SMI200SL-3","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-SMI200SL-1.webp?v=1779370244","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/samsung-sch-i220-replacement-battery-37v-1100mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
