Straight talk hotspot battery?

I've misplaced the battery for my Walmart Straight talk hotspot, the ZTE Z288L and I can't seem to find a cross reference for a replacement battery anywhere online.

Has anyone replaced their battery, where did you get it?

    That is off the battery in my Z288L

    AMAZON has a hugh selection of devices batteries but you need to have the number off of the battery to find one... I got up to page 6 out of 400 just looking now...

    Yea, that's the critical piece of information I'm missing.

    Can someone post a picture of their StraightTalk battery?


    Well i though I was on to something trying that idea of search for "picture of ZTE Z288L Straight talk battery"

    Got several hits with images but I couldn't make any sense out of it...

  • I just talked to the ZTE service rep. That unit was specifically made for tracfone, straighttalk, and Net10. ZTE does not maintain any parts info or other literature. I did find the startup mauual Z079584506205 and it only says to put the battery in the unit. No identifying info.

    You would think WALMART would carry one. I recently needed one of those round watch type batteries and Walmart had those... Problem with WALMART they have battery stations all over their store haha You almost have to ask someone where it might be...
