About this replacement
Dell XPS 13 9370 — 7.6V Li-ion Replacement Battery (DXGH8)
This is a 7.6V, 6300mAh (47.88Wh) Li-ion replacement battery for the Dell XPS 13 9370 ultrabook. It replaces OEM part numbers DXGH8, 0H754V, and G8VCF. Compatible models include the XPS 13 9370, XPS9370-7002SLV, and XPS 13 2018 line.
- XPS 13 9370 platform fit: These models share the same 7.6V two-cell battery rail, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. Swapping across this model group works because Dell used the same power architecture throughout the 9370 chassis revision.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell on a 9370 board and confirmed the BMS handshake completes correctly — the system exits charge protection mode, the fuel gauge IC registers the new cell, and charge current ramps up as expected.
- Post-install calibration on the XPS 9370: After fitting, run one full discharge down to hibernate-cutoff, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This resets the BIOS battery learn cycle and clears the false "poor health" warning that appears in Dell's diagnostics after every cell swap.
BIOS reporting poor battery health immediately after swap
Dell's BIOS reads health data from EEPROM registers on the battery controller. When a new cell goes in, those registers don't match the system's stored charge history, so the BIOS flags the battery as degraded before it's run a single cycle. This isn't a fault with the cell — it's a mismatch between old logged data and the new chemistry baseline. One full discharge-to-hibernate followed by an uninterrupted charge to 100% forces the BIOS to rebuild its battery model from scratch and clears the warning.

This happens when the cell voltage drops below the BMS cutoff threshold under combined CPU and display load, even though the fuel gauge still shows charge remaining. The fuel gauge IC calibration hasn't caught up with the actual discharge curve of the new cell yet — it's reading state-of-charge from a model built on the old battery. Run two or three complete discharge-to-hibernate and full-recharge cycles to let the fuel gauge IC recalibrate against the new cell's voltage curve. After calibration, the reported percentage and actual cutoff voltage should align at approximately 3.0V per cell.
