About this replacement
VeriFone VX670 — 7.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery (24016-01-R)
This 7.4V, 1800mAh Li-ion battery replaces the original power cell in the VeriFone VX670 and VX670 wireless payment terminal. It fits the VX670 battery bay directly and matches the OEM connector and BMS communication profile. Capacity is 1800mAh (13.32Wh) — identical to the factory specification.
- VX670 and VX670 wireless compatibility: Both variants run the same 7.4V two-cell Li-ion architecture with the same BMS handshake sequence. The battery pack uses the LP103450SR-2S cell configuration, which the terminal's charge IC recognises on first insertion without any manual pairing step.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through full charge and discharge on a VX670 unit. The BMS held the overcurrent trip threshold in line with OEM spec, and the terminal's charge indicator reported state-of-charge correctly across the full voltage range from 8.4V down to the 6.0V cutoff.
- First deployment cycle: After installation, run one complete transaction from power-on through receipt print before deploying on a live counter. The terminal maps battery capacity during normal operation and needs at least one full power cycle to calibrate the charge indicator accurately.
VX670 rebooting mid-transaction after a battery swap
The VX670's receipt printer draws a sharp current spike — typically 1.2A to 1.8A — at the moment the paper advances. On a discharged or poorly seated new battery, this spike can trip the BMS overcurrent protection and cut power mid-print. The terminal then logs the event as an unexpected shutdown. Seat the battery firmly until the latch clicks, then charge to full before processing any transaction that triggers a print job.
Terminal stuck on boot screen and not completing PCI sequence
The VX670 runs a PCI-compliant tamper check during every cold boot, and that sequence draws sustained current for 15–20 seconds. If the battery cell voltage is below roughly 7.0V when you insert it — common with freshly shipped stock that has partially self-discharged in transit — the terminal may stall or loop at the boot screen. Connect the charging cradle and let the pack reach at least 7.2V before attempting a cold boot. The PCI sequence will then complete normally.
