About this replacement
Alecto DBX-60 — 3.7V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (P002009)
This 3.7V, 600mAh Li-Polymer battery replaces the original power cell in the Alecto DBX-60 baby monitor parent unit. It matches OEM part numbers P002009 and LP062937. When the original cell degrades, the parent unit loses charge capacity quickly — this battery restores normal operation.
- DBX-60 parent unit fit: The DBX-60 parent unit uses a compact Li-Polymer cell at 3.7V nominal. The 40.50 x 34.90 x 4.00mm footprint matches the original battery bay, and the connector and BMS communication line match the factory spec.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on the DBX-60 parent unit. The BMS accepted charge from the dock without fault flags, and the unit powered on cleanly at full charge.
- Re-pair after swapping the battery: The DBX-60 parent unit loses its wireless link to the camera unit when power is cut completely. After fitting this battery, place both units within 1 metre and run the pairing sequence from the parent unit menu before moving them apart.
Parent unit battery draining overnight on the DBX-60
The DBX-60 parent unit keeps its screen active during monitoring sessions, and overnight use with the screen on is a sustained draw on a 600mAh cell. Even a new battery will run low after a full night if the screen stays lit. Enable the screen timeout setting in the parent unit menu — the audio link stays active while the display sleeps. This significantly reduces overnight drain without losing monitoring function.
Night vision not working after fitting a new battery
The DBX-60 camera unit's IR LEDs for night vision draw a brief voltage spike when they activate. If the parent unit battery is below roughly 3.5V, the radio link can stutter during that spike, making the night vision feed appear to freeze or drop. This is a voltage floor issue, not a fault with the camera or the new battery. Charge the parent unit to 100% before first use and confirm the voltage has stabilised before testing night vision.
