EB-L1F2HBU Sprint Galaxy Nexus Replacement Battery 3.7V 1750mAh

Sprint SPH-L700 / Galaxy Nexus LTE — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (EB-L1F2HBU)

This is a 3.7V, 1750mAh Li-ion cell that replaces the original battery in the Sprint SPH-L700, Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE, and Galaxy Nexus LTE. It matches OEM part numbers EB-L1F2HBU, EB-L1F2HVU, and EB-L1F2KVK. If your phone shuts down unexpectedly or no longer holds charge, this cell restores the original power capacity.

• SPH-L700 and Galaxy Nexus LTE compatibility: These models share the same battery bay dimensions, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. All three OEM part numbers cross to the same physical cell — the suffix variation reflects regional carrier builds, not different hardware.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran charge and discharge cycles through a SPH-L700 unit. The BMS accepted the cell on first insertion, charge IC engaged without fault codes, and the protection circuit tripped correctly at the low-voltage cutoff threshold.
• Fuel gauge recalibration on first use: Disable fast charging for the first full discharge-charge cycle after fitting this cell. The fuel gauge IC on the SPH-L700 is calibrated to the old cell's discharge curve — running one complete cycle at standard charge current lets the coulomb counter reset its baseline before high-current charging is introduced.

Why the SPH-L700 reports wrong battery percentage after a cell swap

The SPH-L700 uses a fuel gauge IC that tracks charge state by counting coulombs against a learned discharge curve from the previous cell. When you fit a new cell, that stored curve no longer matches the new cell's actual voltage-to-capacity profile. The gauge reports stale data until it relearns. One full discharge to automatic shutoff followed by an uninterrupted charge to 100% resets the learned curve. After that cycle, percentage readings stabilise.

Sudden shutdown at 20–30% on the replacement cell

This is a voltage cliff — not a capacity fault. Under heavy load from the LTE radio or screen-on activity, the cell voltage drops faster than the fuel gauge expects at that reported percentage. The phone's low-voltage protection trips before the displayed percentage reaches zero. It happens most often in the first few cycles before the fuel gauge has recalibrated to the new cell. Run one full discharge-charge cycle at standard charge rate and the shutoff threshold will align closer to the actual remaining capacity.
