It fits the Zaurus SL-5000, SL-5000D, SL-5500, SL-C700, and two additional Zaurus models. If your original battery has degraded and your PDA is no longer holding a charge, this cell restores power to the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZaurus SL-5000 \/ SL-5500 \/ SL-C700 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the EA-BL06 footprint, the same 3.7V single-cell architecture, and an identical connector pinout. The BMS handshake requirements are consistent across the series, so one cell works across all listed variants.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this battery through charge and discharge cycles on a Zaurus unit. The BMS accepted the cell without faults, charge termination triggered correctly at full capacity, and the protection circuit responded normally to load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRAM data protection before swap:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Perform a full sync to your desktop or host computer before removing the battery. The Zaurus keeps open files and application state in volatile RAM — it loses that data the moment battery power drops to zero. Sync first, swap second.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the Zaurus SL-5000 loses contacts and calendar data after a battery swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Zaurus stores active application data — including contacts, calendar entries, and unsaved notes — in SRAM that is kept alive by the main battery. There is no separate coin cell or backup capacitor large enough to preserve RAM through a full battery removal. The moment the old cell is pulled and the new one is not yet seated, that memory is gone. The fix is straightforward: sync everything to the host via Sharp's PC link software before pulling the battery, and verify the sync completed before you open the battery compartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eZaurus not booting after fitting a new battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eA Zaurus that shows nothing on screen after a battery swap has usually received a cell that shipped below the minimum boot voltage. The device's boot sequence needs enough voltage to initialise the kernel and mount the file system — too low and it simply won't start. Connect the unit to the AC adapter and charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting a cold boot. If the charging LED lights and the unit boots after that charge period, the battery is fine — it just needed voltage above the minimum threshold, typically around 3.5V, before the system could start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43415946625114,"sku":"BWCS-SL500SL-1","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43415946657882,"sku":"BWCS-SL500SL-2","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43415946690650,"sku":"BWCS-SL500SL-3","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-SL500SL-1.webp?v=1779758397","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/sharp-zaurus-sl-5000-replacement-battery-37v-900mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
