Both devices share the same battery bay dimensions and connector pinout, so one cell covers the full compatibility list. Dimensions are 71.80 × 59.20 × 4.40 mm — measure your bay before ordering if your unit has been repaired before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMi 4A and Redmi 4A compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both models run the same 3.85V power rail, use the same flex connector, and negotiate charge current through the same BMS handshake — one cell spec covers both.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this cell through a full charge cycle on a Mi 4A unit. The BMS accepted charge handshake without fault codes, and the protection circuit tripped correctly at the expected over-voltage threshold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge recalibration on first install:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use after installation, disable fast charging and run one complete discharge-charge cycle at standard current. This lets the fuel gauge IC map its coulomb counter to the new cell's actual discharge curve before high-current charging starts.\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 BN30 replacement cell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis is a voltage cliff issue, not a capacity defect. Under modem TX bursts or peak screen backlight load, a new cell that hasn't been calibrated yet cannot sustain the voltage the SoC expects — so the phone shuts off even though the fuel gauge still shows charge remaining. The fix is a full discharge-charge cycle with no fast charging on the first pass. After calibration, the fuel gauge IC tracks the cell's actual minimum sustainable voltage and stops triggering low-voltage shutoff prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003ePhone won't power on after the BN30 sat in storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eLi-polymer cells self-discharge in storage, and if the cell dropped below approximately 2.5V per cell, the BMS enters lockout mode and blocks charge input to prevent thermal events on a deeply discharged cell. Plugging in normally often shows no response. Connect the phone to a low-current charger — a USB port rather than a wall adapter — and leave it for 20 to 30 minutes without pressing the power button. This trickle current is usually enough to bring the cell above the BMS re-enable threshold, after which normal charging resumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43392084541530,"sku":"BWCS-MUM480SL-1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43392084574298,"sku":"BWCS-MUM480SL-2","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43392084607066,"sku":"BWCS-MUM480SL-3","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-MUM480SL-1.webp?v=1779143685","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/xiaomi-mi-4a-replacement-battery-385v-3100mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
