It slots into the same bay as the original DR36 and DR36S cells. Fit the battery, close the latch, and the laptop powers on without an AC adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSENS PRO 522–525 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    All four models share the same 12V battery bay, connector pinout, and BMS handshake tied to the DR36 part number. Swapping between them requires no adapter or wiring change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran the cell through charge and discharge cycles on the SENS PRO platform. The BMS accepted the cell without fault codes, and charge termination triggered correctly at full capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle conditioning on Ni-MH:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing, run the laptop on battery until it hibernates at low charge, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. Ni-MH cells in this voltage class can develop voltage depression if cycled shallow early — one full discharge-to-charge sequence at the start prevents this and lets the BIOS battery learn cycle recalibrate against the new cell.\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 replacing the DR36\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe SENS PRO BIOS stores charge history and health data from the previous cell in its battery learn table. When a new cell goes in, that old data still sits in memory, so the BIOS flags the replacement as degraded before it has seen a single full cycle. This is not a fault with the new battery. Run one complete discharge-to-hibernate then charge uninterrupted to 100% — the BIOS resets its learn cycle against the new cell's actual curve and the health warning clears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eLaptop shuts down at 20–30% charge shown on screen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe fuel gauge IC calibrates its empty-point estimate against charge data from the old cell. After a swap, it often places the cutoff threshold too high, cutting power while usable capacity remains. The cell itself is not failing — the gauge is reading against a stale reference curve. Run two to three full discharge-to-charge cycles without interruption. By the third cycle the fuel gauge IC recalculates its curve against the DR36 cell and the shutdown point drops back to the correct range near 0–5%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43410855526490,"sku":"BWCS-DR36HB-1","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43410855559258,"sku":"BWCS-DR36HB-2","price":105.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43410855592026,"sku":"BWCS-DR36HB-3","price":118.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-DR36HB-big.webp?v=1779581376","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/samsung-sens-pro-525-replacement-battery-12v-3800mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
