Silvercrest IAN 79938 Camera Replacement Battery 3.7V 1100mAh

Silvercrest IAN 79938 Camera Digicam DSLR — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery

This 3.7V, 1100mAh Li-ion cell replaces the original battery in the Silvercrest IAN 79938 digital camera. It fits the camera body directly and powers the image sensor, LCD display, and processing functions. Dimensions are 38.25 × 38.15 × 9.50mm — verify against your original cell before ordering.

• IAN 79938 platform fit: The IAN 79938 uses a compact single-cell 3.7V pack with a low-current BMS suited to digicam draw — image capture, display refresh, and card writes. This cell matches that voltage rail and connector orientation.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through full charge and discharge on a digicam-class load profile. The BMS held charge acceptance cleanly and did not trip on normal shutter and LCD draw.
• First-install charge cycle: Before heavy shooting, run one full charge from within the camera body or OEM charger. Some digicam BMS firmware only maps battery-remaining percentage accurately after completing one charge cycle internally.

The IAN 79938 maps its battery indicator to a voltage-threshold curve calibrated to the original cell's discharge profile. A new third-party cell may present a slightly different resting voltage at partial charge, which the camera reads as empty. This is a calibration mismatch, not a faulty cell. Run one full charge cycle inside the camera body — most units re-anchor the indicator curve to the new cell after that cycle.

Battery percentage jumping erratically across shots

Erratic percentage display happens when the camera's fuel gauge samples voltage mid-load — during shutter actuation or LCD backlight peaks — rather than at rest. Compact digicam circuitry often lacks the averaging buffer found in larger camera bodies. The reading stabilises once the cell has completed at least one full discharge and recharge cycle, allowing the BMS to map the new cell's actual discharge curve. If jumps persist past two full cycles, charge the cell to 4.2V via the OEM charger and restart.
