It replaces OEM part 59004661 and fits directly into the fitting's battery bay. Capacity is rated at 6Wh — use the product data figure, not the original cell's label if it has faded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStar Cs 2 SBS fitting compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The Star Cs 2 SBS uses a 2.4V two-cell Ni-MH pack with a specific physical footprint — 44.10 x 45.15 x 22.90mm. The charge controller in this fitting expects Ni-MH chemistry. Fitting a different chemistry will trigger a permanent fault LED because the charge profile will not match.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this cell through a full charge cycle and a timed load discharge. The BMS accepted charge within the expected float voltage window and held load without dropping below the cutoff threshold for the rated 6Wh capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle test requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Hold the test button for the full rated emergency duration within 24 hours of installation. This lets the charge controller register the new cell and ensures your next scheduled compliance test returns a valid pass — skipping this step is the single most common reason a freshly fitted battery fails its first duration test.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCharge indicator staying red after new battery installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Star Cs 2 SBS charge controller uses a float acceptance window to confirm the cell is taking charge correctly. A replacement cell that has been sitting in storage can present a resting voltage low enough that the controller flags it as a fault rather than beginning the charge cycle. This is not a defective cell — it is the controller rejecting a voltage it does not recognise. Leave the fitting on mains for 12 hours and check again; most cells recover to a voltage the controller accepts without any manual reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eEmergency light dims and cuts out partway through a duration test\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens when the new cell has not completed a full conditioning charge before the test is triggered. A partially charged Ni-MH cell at 2.4V will deliver rated output initially, then sag as stored charge depletes faster than expected. The fitting's undervoltage cutoff then trips the circuit before the rated duration is reached. Restore mains, allow a full 24-hour charge, then re-run the test — the cell should hold load for the complete rated period without dimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43360351289434,"sku":"BWCS-THS661LS-1","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43360351322202,"sku":"BWCS-THS661LS-2","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43360351354970,"sku":"BWCS-THS661LS-3","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-THS661LS-1.webp?v=1778611110","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/thorn-voyager-star-cs-2-sbs-replacement-battery-24v-2500mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
