Vodafone Smart First 6 Replacement Battery TLi014A2 3.7V

Vodafone Smart First 6 / V695 — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (TLi014A2)

This 3.7V, 1400mAh Li-ion cell replaces the original TLi014A2 battery in the Vodafone Smart First 6, V695, and VF-V695. It also fits the Smart 4 Mini and several additional models sharing the same footprint and connector. If your phone no longer holds charge or drops off suddenly under load, this is the direct swap.

• Smart First 6 and V695 platform fit: These models share the same 3.7V single-cell architecture, battery cavity dimensions, and connector pinout — the TLi014A2 part number covers the full range without modification or adapter.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on a V695 unit. The BMS accepted charge from the stock charger without fault codes, and cell voltage held above 3.6V through moderate screen-on load.
• Fuel gauge recalibration on first use: After installation, run the phone down to automatic shutdown and charge fully to 100% in one uninterrupted cycle. This gives the fuel gauge IC a clean reference point against the new cell's discharge curve before you rely on the percentage readout.

Why the Smart First 6 reports wrong battery percentage after a cell swap

The Smart First 6 uses a fuel gauge IC that builds its charge model from the original cell's historical discharge curve. When you install a fresh cell, that stored model no longer matches reality. The gauge will show incorrect percentages — sometimes reading 80% when the phone is nearly flat. One full discharge-to-shutdown followed by a complete charge to 100% forces the IC to relearn the new cell's voltage profile. After that cycle, percentage accuracy normalises.

Sudden shutdown at 20–30% on the replacement cell

This happens when the cell voltage drops below the modem or display's minimum rail requirement under load — even though the fuel gauge still reads 20–30%. A fresh cell with an uncalibrated gauge is the most common cause on the Smart First 6. The BMS cuts the output before the UI percentage catches up. Run one full calibration cycle first; if the shutdowns persist after that, check that resting cell voltage measures above 3.7V with a multimeter before reinstalling.
