These rugged handhelds are GPS data collectors used on active survey and construction sites. The replacement cell matches the original voltage rail and connector so the FC100 and FC2000 power on and communicate with GNSS rovers without configuration changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFC100 and FC2000 platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both controllers run the same 7.4V battery architecture and use the same BMS handshake protocol. One pack covers the full platform — no firmware or hardware difference between the two that affects battery recognition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this pack through the FC100's boot sequence, GPS lock cycle, and sustained data-logging load. The BMS held voltage within spec under continuous GNSS processing and did not trip during Bluetooth peripheral polling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-install calibration cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this battery, run a full calibration cycle through the FC100 or FC2000 instrument menu before taking it to site. The controller maps battery state during that cycle — skipping it causes the low-battery indicator to fire early on the first field session, even at a healthy charge level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBMS lockout after the FC100 sat unused in a carry case for months\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eLithium-ion cells self-discharge slowly in storage. If the pack drops below roughly 2.5V per cell during a long layoff, the BMS trips into a protective lockout state and the controller will not power on or register a charge. The charger shows no activity because the BMS is blocking input voltage entirely. To recover, connect the pack to the Topcon charger and leave it for 15–20 minutes — many BMS units will accept a trickle and exit lockout once cell voltage climbs above the 2.8V recovery threshold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eFC100 shuts down mid-logging session with no low-battery warning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis is a voltage dropout event, not a fuel-gauge fault. Under sustained GNSS processing combined with active Bluetooth or RS-232 output, the combined current draw can pull cell voltage below the BMS cutoff threshold momentarily — the controller shuts off before the indicator has time to warn. It happens most often when the controller is cold (below 5°C), because cell internal resistance rises and voltage sag deepens under the same load. Warm the controller to ambient temperature and check that the battery contacts are clean and fully seated — poor contact resistance amplifies the sag. If the shutdown repeats above 10°C with a freshly charged pack, measure open-circuit voltage: a healthy cell at full charge should read 8.3–8.4V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43360725991514,"sku":"BWCS-TOP750SL-1","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43360726024282,"sku":"BWCS-TOP750SL-2","price":81.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43360726057050,"sku":"BWCS-TOP750SL-3","price":90.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-TOP750SL-1.webp?v=1778616232","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/topcon-field-controller-fc100-replacement-battery-74v-4400mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
