Battery Care Tips
Battery Care Tips
🔹 Getting Started
Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.
🔹 Keep It Healthy
Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Sony Portable Reader PRS-900 — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (1-756-915-11)
This 3.7V, 1400mAh Li-ion cell replaces the original battery in the Sony Portable Reader PRS-900 and PRS-900BC, also sold as the Sony Reader Daily Edition. It fits models using OEM part numbers 1-756-915-11, PRSA-BP9, and PRSA-BP9//C(U3). Swap it in when the original cell no longer holds enough charge to get through a reading session.
- PRS-900 and PRS-900BC compatibility: Both variants share the same battery bay dimensions, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. A single cell covers both units — no hardware differences affect fitment.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on PRS-900 hardware. The BMS accepted the new cell without fault codes, and the firmware recognised the pack without requiring a manual reset.
- Wi-Fi sync and charge management: The PRS-900 draws significantly more current during Wi-Fi sync than during page turns. After installing this cell, complete a full USB charge cycle before enabling wireless sync — the firmware needs a full charge reference point to report battery percentage accurately after a cell swap.
Why the PRS-900 shows a low battery warning immediately after a new cell
Replacement cells ship at storage voltage — typically between 3.6V and 3.7V — which sits just above the device's low-battery threshold. The PRS-900 firmware reads this as a near-depleted pack before any calibration has occurred. This is not a faulty cell. Connect the device to a USB charger and allow it to reach a full charge before first use. Once the firmware completes one full charge cycle, the battery percentage indicator will report correctly.
PRS-900 not powering on after battery replacement
If the device shows no response after swapping the cell, the new battery's resting voltage may have dropped below the PRS-900's minimum boot voltage during storage. The device will not attempt to power on below approximately 3.4V. Connect the reader to a USB charger and leave it for at least 10 minutes without pressing the power button — the charging circuit will pre-charge the cell to a level where the boot sequence can start. After 10 minutes, press and hold the power button for five seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PRS-900 powers on but the battery percentage jumps around after I replaced the cell — is something wrong?
Nothing is wrong with the cell. The PRS-900 firmware calibrates its fuel gauge against charge and discharge history, and a new cell has none. The percentage display will be erratic for the first one to two full charge cycles while the firmware builds a reference. Run at least one full charge from flat to 100% via USB, then let it discharge normally before trusting the percentage reading.
Page turns on the PRS-900 got noticeably slower after I put in the new battery — what's happening?
E-ink displays require a voltage spike to refresh each page. If the cell is below roughly 3.5V — which can happen if the new battery hasn't been charged before use — the display controller slows its refresh rate to compensate for reduced voltage headroom. Charge the device fully before reading. If page turn speed doesn't recover after a full charge, check that the cell connector is fully seated, as a loose contact causes voltage sag under the brief refresh load.
The PRS-900 drains much faster when Wi-Fi is on than when I'm just reading — is this normal with the replacement cell?
Yes, and it applies to the original cell too. The Wi-Fi radio on the PRS-900 draws several times more current than the e-ink display during normal page turns. A 1400mAh cell at 3.7V has a fixed energy budget — wireless sync, downloading books, and active network connections pull from that budget at a much higher rate than reading offline. Turn Wi-Fi off in settings after syncing to extend charge between USB top-ups.
