EB-L1D7IVZ Verizon Galaxy Nexus Compatible Battery 3.7V 1800mAh

Verizon Galaxy Nexus SCH-I515 — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (EB-L1D7IVZ)

This 3.7V, 1800mAh Li-ion cell replaces the original battery in the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Nexus i515 (SCH-I515). It fits the Nexus 4G LTE variant as well. Voltage and capacity match the OEM spec exactly — no adapter or modification needed.

• SCH-I515 and Nexus 4G LTE compatibility: These models share the same battery bay dimensions, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. The 56.60 × 51.00 × 5.70mm cell seats flush and the BMS communicates correctly with the Galaxy Nexus charge IC.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through full charge and discharge cycles on the SCH-I515. The BMS held cutoff correctly at both the high and low voltage thresholds, and the charge IC accepted the cell without fault codes.
• Fuel gauge recalibration after install: On first use, disable fast charging if available and run one complete discharge down to auto-shutoff, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This gives the fuel gauge IC a clean reference curve for the new cell before it starts tracking coulombs under load.

Why the Galaxy Nexus reports wrong battery percentage after a cell swap

The Galaxy Nexus uses a fuel gauge IC that builds its charge model against the discharge curve of the original cell. When you install a new cell, the IC is still referencing that old curve, so the percentage readout drifts — often reading higher or lower than the actual state of charge. One full discharge-to-shutoff followed by an uninterrupted charge to 100% resets the coulomb counter against the new cell's actual curve. After that cycle, the percentage display tracks accurately under normal mixed loads including the LTE modem and display.

Sudden shutdown at 20–30% on the replacement cell

This happens when the cell voltage drops sharply under the combined load of the LTE radio and display — a voltage cliff the fuel gauge IC did not predict because it was still calibrated to a degraded cell. The new cell has a steeper voltage response at lower states of charge than the worn original, so the BMS hits its low-voltage cutoff while the UI still shows charge remaining. Run the recalibration cycle described above — one full discharge to auto-shutoff — and the IC will map the cutoff point correctly to the new cell's curve. After calibration, shutdowns before 10% are not expected under normal use.
