It fits directly into this smartphone and restores power to calls, messaging, and core functions. Capacity is rated at 5.55Wh, matching the stock cell specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirector \/ N850L platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both model names refer to the same hardware platform. The connector pinout, physical footprint (41 × 51 × 6mm), and BMS handshake voltage all align to the same battery slot — no adapter or modification needed.\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 full discharge on the Director platform. The BMS accepted the charge profile without interruption, and protection circuits tripped correctly at the low-voltage cutoff threshold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge recalibration on first use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installation, disable fast charging if your Director supports it, then run one complete discharge-to-charge cycle. This lets the fuel gauge IC map the new cell's discharge curve before the OS starts reading percentage data from it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eSudden shutdown at 20–30% on the Director after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis happens because the fuel gauge IC is still calibrated to the old cell's discharge curve. When the new cell hits a voltage point the IC doesn't expect — typically around 3.6–3.7V under load — the OS sees a cliff and shuts down rather than risk going below the safe floor. It is not a fault with the replacement cell. One full discharge cycle from 100% down to automatic shutoff, followed by a full charge, resets the coulomb counter reference. After that cycle, percentage reporting stabilises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eDirector not powering on after the battery sat discharged in storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eLi-ion cells that drop below roughly 2.5V trigger a BMS lockout to prevent damage from deep discharge. A phone that shows no response — no boot screen, no charging indicator — when connected to power is likely in this state. Connect the device to a wall charger (not a PC USB port, which may not supply enough current) and leave it for 20–30 minutes without pressing the power button. Once the cell recovers above the BMS re-enable threshold, the charging indicator will appear and normal startup resumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43405071155290,"sku":"BWCS-ZTN760SL-1","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43405071188058,"sku":"BWCS-ZTN760SL-2","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43405071220826,"sku":"BWCS-ZTN760SL-3","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-ZTN760SL-1.webp?v=1779369934","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/uscellular-director-replacement-battery-37v-1500mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
