About this replacement
Sony CECH-ZCM2E / CECH-ZCM2U PS Move Motion Controller — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (LIS1654)
This 3.7V, 3350mAh Li-ion cell replaces the OEM LIS1654 / LIS1651 battery inside the Sony PlayStation Move Motion Controller (CECH-ZCM2E and CECH-ZCM2U). It also fits the PlayStation PS4 Move Motion Controller Version 2. The cell matches the original voltage rail and physical envelope — 66.50 × 21.90 × 20.00mm — so it seats correctly behind the rear panel.
- CECH-ZCM2E, CECH-ZCM2U, and PS4 Move Version 2 compatibility: All three controllers share the same LIS1654 / LIS1651 form factor, 3.7V nominal rail, and micro-USB charge circuit. One cell covers the whole Move platform because the BMS handshake and connector pinout are identical across revisions.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through the Move controller's charge IC and confirmed the protection circuit trips correctly at the low-voltage cutoff. The BMS accepted the new cell without fault flags on the USB charge line.
- First-cycle calibration: After fitting, run one complete wireless play session — motion tracking active, rumble enabled — until the controller shuts off automatically. The Move's fuel gauge IC uses that first full discharge to set its empty reference point. Skip this step and the battery indicator will read inaccurately for several sessions.
Why the PS Move controller cuts out before the battery LED turns red
The Move controller pulls current from two loads simultaneously: the Bluetooth radio and the internal rumble motor. When both run together, the instantaneous draw spikes well above the controller's average idle current. If the cell voltage sags under that combined load — even briefly — the BMS reads it as a low-voltage event and cuts the output before the battery indicator visually registers as low. This is a measurement timing issue, not a fault with the cell. A cell that has completed two or three conditioning cycles holds its voltage more steadily under those spikes and the early cutouts stop.
Battery percentage jumping or stuck at the wrong level after cell swap
The Move's fuel gauge IC tracks charge state against a learned discharge curve from the previous cell. After swapping to a new cell, the stored curve no longer matches what's physically inside, so the percentage reading can jump, stall, or show full when the cell is part-depleted. This is not a fault — it clears as the IC recalibrates. Run three full discharge-to-cutoff and charge-to-complete cycles via USB. By cycle three, the gauge IC will have mapped the new cell's curve and the percentage display will stabilise.
