It fits the S406, S406-HWD, S406-KDH, S406-MKP, and related variants. The cell matches the original voltage rail and connector pinout for direct installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS406 variant compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The S406-HWD, S406-KDH, and S406-MKP all share the same 14.8V four-cell configuration and battery bay dimensions. The BMS expects the same charge termination voltage and connector layout across these variants, so one cell fits all of them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran charge and discharge cycles on a representative unit. The BMS accepted charge without error flags, stepped through CC and CV phases cleanly, and terminated at the correct 16.8V float ceiling. No overcurrent trips or authentication faults were logged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-install calibration on the S406:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this battery, run one full discharge until the laptop hibernates on low-battery cutoff, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This forces the BIOS battery learn cycle to record accurate capacity data for the new cell and clears the false \"poor health\" warning that appears after every cell swap.\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 installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eWhen the S406 BIOS reads a new cell, it compares live capacity data against the EEPROM values stored from the old battery. The mismatch triggers a health warning — not a fault in the replacement cell. The fuel gauge IC on this platform needs at least one full discharge-to-hibernate and uninterrupted charge cycle to recalibrate against the new chemistry. After that cycle, BIOS health status normalises and the warning clears without any firmware changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eLaptop shutting down at 20–30% charge shown on screen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens when the cell voltage drops below the BMS protection threshold under combined CPU and display load, even though the OS fuel gauge still shows 20–30% remaining. The gauge is reading stored EEPROM data rather than real-time cell voltage, so the reported percentage is wrong. The fix is the same calibration cycle: discharge fully to hibernate cutoff, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. After two full cycles the fuel gauge IC tracks actual cell voltage and the premature shutdown stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43409523966042,"sku":"BWCS-CLN250NB-1","price":122.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43409523998810,"sku":"BWCS-CLN250NB-2","price":141.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43409524031578,"sku":"BWCS-CLN250NB-3","price":154.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-CLN250NB_1.webp?v=1779579903","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/schenker-s406-replacement-battery-148v-2600mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
