It uses part number NM-14P and slots in where the original cell has degraded or lost usable capacity. At 1.44Wh, it matches the original energy rating the device's charging circuit expects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNM-14P platform fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Streamsonic media players built around the NM-14P cell share a common 1.2V charging rail and charge termination logic tuned for Ni-MH chemistry. Swapping in a different voltage or chemistry — even at the same physical size — will confuse the charge controller and may damage the cell or the device.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on a Ni-MH-compatible test rig. The BMS accepted charge termination correctly via delta-V detection, and the cell held within spec across multiple cycles without thermal event.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-charge protocol for Ni-MH cells:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Ni-MH cells shipped in a partially discharged state can trigger the player's deep discharge protection on first use. Connect the charger before powering the device on and leave it for at least 30 minutes. This lets the charge controller deliver a slow trickle current and bring the cell above the cutoff threshold before the device attempts to boot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery percentage jumping erratically after cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eStreamsonic players estimate charge level by tracking voltage thresholds calibrated to the original cell's discharge curve. A new Ni-MH cell has a flatter discharge curve than a worn cell, so the indicator reads inconsistently until it recalibrates. Run the battery from a full charge down to automatic shutoff at least twice without interrupting playback. After two full cycles, the voltage-threshold mapping settles and the percentage display stabilises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePlayback cutting out before the battery indicator shows empty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe audio amplifier stage draws a short current spike each time it drives the output — especially at higher volume levels. Toward the end of a Ni-MH discharge curve, cell voltage sags under that spike even though the resting voltage still reads above the low-battery threshold. The player's protection circuit sees the sag and cuts power before the indicator triggers. Reducing playback volume by 20–30% during the final portion of a charge cycle keeps the current draw below the sag threshold and lets the cell discharge fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43381333885018,"sku":"BWCS-VL700F6-1","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43381333917786,"sku":"BWCS-VL700F6-2","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43381333950554,"sku":"BWCS-VL700F6-3","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-VL700F6-1.webp?v=1778900030","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/streamsonic-replacement-battery-12v-1200mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
