It also cross-references OEM part numbers S104-Q14000-001 and S104-Q06000-000. If your Highway Star struggles to hold charge or shuts down unexpectedly, this is the direct swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighway Star series compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The standard, 4G, and 4G Dual SIM variants share the same battery footprint — 112.10 x 41.70 x 3.20mm — and the same connector pinout. The BMS handshake protocol is identical across all three, so one cell covers the full lineup without modification.\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 discharge on the Highway Star platform and monitored the BMS cutoff thresholds. The protection circuit responded correctly at both the low-voltage floor and the high-voltage ceiling, with no anomalous cutoffs mid-cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge recalibration after installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use after fitting, disable fast charging and run one complete discharge-to-charge cycle. The fuel gauge IC on the Highway Star calibrates its coulomb counter against the new cell's discharge curve during this first pass — skipping it leads to inaccurate percentage readings for the first several cycles.\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 Highway Star after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis is a voltage cliff issue, not a capacity fault. The new cell's discharge curve doesn't match the profile the fuel gauge IC learned from the degraded original — so the OS reads 25% while the actual cell voltage has already dropped below the modem's minimum operating rail. Under screen-on or active data load, voltage sags further and the phone cuts out. Run one full discharge down to auto-shutdown, then charge uninterrupted to 100% — this resets the coulomb counter and tightens percentage accuracy against the new cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePhone won't power on after the replacement battery sat in storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eLi-polymer cells self-discharge in storage. If the TLP15016 arrived below roughly 2.5V per cell, the BMS may have tripped into lockout mode to prevent damage — and the phone will show nothing when you press power. Connect the phone to a wall charger, not a PC port, and leave it for 15–20 minutes without pressing anything. The charge IC needs to trickle current into the cell to lift voltage above the BMS re-enable threshold before the phone will respond. Once the charging indicator appears, continue to a full charge before first use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43392107806810,"sku":"BWCS-WKH100SL-1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43392107839578,"sku":"BWCS-WKH100SL-2","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43392107872346,"sku":"BWCS-WKH100SL-3","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-WKH100SL-1.webp?v=1779143816","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/wiko-highway-star-replacement-battery-38v-2300mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
