It fits the Z820 directly and restores power when the original cell has degraded past usable capacity. Voltage and form factor match the OEM spec: 62.90 × 53.95 × 5.00mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZ820 and Obsidian compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both names refer to the same hardware platform. The Z820 and Obsidian share identical connector pinout, BMS handshake requirements, and the same 3.8V nominal rail — this cell meets all three.\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 Z820 platform. The BMS accepted the cell without error flags, and charge termination triggered correctly at full capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle fast charge advice:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use after installation, disable fast charging and complete one full discharge-charge cycle. This lets the phone's fuel gauge IC recalibrate against the new cell's discharge curve before high-current charging pushes current into an uncalibrated cell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy the Z820 reports wrong battery percentage after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Z820 uses a fuel gauge IC that builds its charge model from the original cell's discharge curve over time. When you install a new cell, that model no longer matches the actual cell chemistry. The IC may report 100% when the cell is not full, or drop percentage faster than expected. One complete discharge-charge cycle — from above 5% down to automatic shutdown, then a full uninterrupted charge — resets the coulomb counter against the new cell and corrects the readout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eSudden shutdown at 20–30% on the Z820 after replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis is a voltage cliff issue, not a capacity defect. When the modem transmits or the screen brightness spikes, current draw jumps sharply. If the fuel gauge IC is still calibrated to the old cell's internal resistance curve, it misreads the voltage sag and triggers a low-voltage shutdown before the cell is actually depleted. The fix is the same full calibration cycle — discharge the phone naturally to automatic shutdown, then charge to 100% without interruption. After one cycle, the IC maps the new cell's voltage behaviour under load and the premature shutdowns stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43404146638938,"sku":"BWCS-ZTN820SL-1","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43404146671706,"sku":"BWCS-ZTN820SL-2","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43404146704474,"sku":"BWCS-ZTN820SL-3","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-ZTN820SL-1.webp?v=1779369095","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/zte-z820-replacement-battery-38v-1800mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
