It uses OEM part number 25170 and slots directly into the flashlight's battery compartment. At 12Wh, it matches the original cell pack specification these lights were built around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSL-15X and SL-20XP platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both models share the same cylindrical battery form factor, 6V nominal voltage rail, and charge circuit handshake — one replacement battery covers the full SL-X series using part 25170.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this pack through charge cycles on the SL-20XP cradle. The BMS accepted charge without fault codes, held voltage through high-draw bursts, and showed no thermal event at termination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-cell pack handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    This is a sealed multi-cell Ni-MH pack. Never mix this new pack with a partially used original — if you run two separate packs in rotation, label them and cycle each pack as a unit. Mixing cells at different states of health forces the weaker cell to over-discharge under high-current draw.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eFlashlight driver stepping down output before the battery looks empty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe SL-15X uses a constant-current driver that monitors pack voltage. When pack voltage sags under high-current draw — even if the battery still holds a nominal charge — the driver reduces output to protect the cells. This is intentional brownout protection, not a faulty battery. On an aged Ni-MH pack, internal resistance rises and voltage sag happens earlier in the discharge curve. A fresh pack with lower internal resistance holds voltage longer under the same draw, so the driver steps down less frequently and output stays consistent through more of the cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eFlashlight cycling between modes or flickering at end of charge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eWhen pack voltage drops close to the driver's brownout threshold, the light can oscillate — briefly stepping down, recovering slightly, then stepping down again. This creates a flickering or mode-cycling effect near the end of the discharge. It is not a switch fault or driver failure. Switching to a lower output mode reduces current draw enough to keep voltage above the cutoff threshold and stabilises output. If this happens mid-session on a recently charged pack, check that the pack reached full charge — a Ni-MH cell terminated early can sit at 6.0V open-circuit but sag to 5.4V or below under load within minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43377522638938,"sku":"BWCS-SLX150FT-1","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43377522671706,"sku":"BWCS-SLX150FT-2","price":50.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43377522704474,"sku":"BWCS-SLX150FT-3","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-SLX150FT-1.webp?v=1778767222","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/streamlight-sl-15x-replacement-battery-6v-2000mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
