It fits the FG-7000, FG-7000L, and FG-7000T variants. The FG-7BAT part number matches the original cell footprint — 46.10 x 31.90 x 10.50mm — so it seats correctly in the battery compartment without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFG-7000, FG-7000L, FG-7000T compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    All three models run the same 3.6V power rail and share the FG-7BAT form factor. The cell dimensions and connector orientation are identical across the series, so one part number covers all three without adapter or wiring changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through the FG-7000's charge circuit and confirmed the BMS accepted the cell without flagging a fault. Charge termination triggered correctly at full cell voltage, and the gauge display responded normally through measurement cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-install calibration step:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting a new cell, run a full calibration cycle from the FG-7000's menu before taking measurements. The instrument maps battery state during that sequence. Skip it and the low-battery indicator will trigger early on the first real measurement session — even with a fully charged pack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eFG-7000 shutting down mid-measurement with the battery showing charged\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells at end of life lose the ability to hold voltage under load, even when the resting voltage reads normal. The FG-7000 draws a brief current spike each time it fires a measurement cycle. An aged or partially discharged cell can't sustain that load — voltage drops below the cutoff threshold and the gauge shuts off. The pack in that state will recover to a resting voltage that looks acceptable, which is why the display shows \"charged\" moments before the shutdown. Replacing the cell resolves this; the symptom does not appear with a fresh Ni-MH pack at full charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eFG-7BAT pack won't charge after the gauge sat unused for months\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells that sit discharged for an extended period can drop below the voltage floor the FG-7000's charge circuit requires to initiate a charge cycle. The charger sees a cell that looks like a fault or a missing pack and does nothing. To recover the cell, apply a low-current trickle from an external Ni-MH charger capable of sub-threshold recovery mode until the cell climbs above approximately 1.0V per cell — around 3.0V for this 3-cell pack. Once it crosses that threshold, reinstall it in the gauge and the onboard charger should take over and complete the cycle normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43360464896090,"sku":"BWCS-SDG700SL-1","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43360464928858,"sku":"BWCS-SDG700SL-2","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43360464961626,"sku":"BWCS-SDG700SL-3","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-SDG700SL-1.webp?v=1778615900","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/shimpo-fg-7000-replacement-battery-36v-700mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
