About this replacement
Alecto DVM-75 — 3.6V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (P002095)
This is a 3.6V, 700mAh Ni-MH battery for the Alecto DVM-75 and DVM-75-00 baby monitor parent unit. It replaces OEM part P002095. When the original cell can no longer hold a charge, the parent unit loses portability — this battery restores it.
- DVM-75 and DVM-75-00 parent unit fit: Both model variants use the same parent unit housing, connector pinout, and 3.6V Ni-MH cell specification. The BMS on the parent unit charges at the same rate across both — one battery covers the full DVM-75 range.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge cycles on a DVM-75 parent unit. The onboard charge circuit accepted the battery without fault, and the BMS terminated charging cleanly at full capacity with no thermal event.
- Re-pair the parent unit after fitting: Replacing the battery causes a full power loss to the parent unit. The DVM-75 loses its wireless link to the camera unit when power is interrupted. After fitting this battery and charging, initiate the re-pairing sequence from the parent unit menu before expecting live audio or video.
Parent unit range reduced after battery swap on the DVM-75
The DVM-75 parent unit's 2.4GHz radio transmitter draws from the same cell that powers the screen and speaker. At low state of charge, the radio runs at reduced output power — this shows up as dropped audio, static, or a shorter effective range even in the same room. A freshly fitted Ni-MH cell at low voltage from storage will produce the same symptom. Charge the parent unit to full before testing range. A healthy cell should stabilise above 4.2V across the pack before the unit leaves the cradle.
Parent unit screen stays on all night and battery is flat by morning
The DVM-75 parent unit defaults to keeping the screen active during overnight monitoring. The display and backlight are the largest continuous current draw on this 700mAh cell — more than the speaker at typical volume. With the screen running all night, a 700mAh cell at Ni-MH discharge rates will not last until morning. Go into the parent unit settings and enable the screen timeout or VOX-activated display mode. This alone can significantly extend how long the battery lasts between charges.
