Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 SP4960C3B Replacement Battery 3.7V 3000mAh

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 GT-P6200 Series — 3.7V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (SP4960C3B)

This 3.7V, 3000mAh Li-Polymer battery replaces the SP4960C3B cell in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 and related GT-P3100, GT-P3110, and GT-P3113 models. It fits the original connector and battery bay without modification. Capacity figures come from the product data — 3000mAh / 11.1Wh.

• GT-P6200, GT-P3100, and GT-P3110 series compatibility: These models share the same 3.7V cell format, SP4960C3B part number, and battery bay dimensions — 129.00 × 70.55 × 5.20mm. The connector pinout and BMS communication protocol are identical across the group, so one cell services all of them.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on a GT-P6200 unit. The BMS accepted the new cell without fault codes, charge termination triggered cleanly at 4.2V, and the protection circuit responded correctly to load spikes from the display and WiFi radio firing together.
• Fuel gauge recalibration after install: After fitting this battery, run the tablet down to automatic shutoff — not a manual power-off. Then charge it uninterrupted to 100%. This gives the fuel gauge IC a full reference window against the new cell and corrects the inaccurate percentage readings that appear on the first few cycles.

Tablet shutting down at 15–25% remaining after battery swap

The GT-P6200 draws hardest when the display brightness is high and WiFi is actively transferring data. At around 15–25% state of charge, cell voltage dips sharply under that combined load — faster than the fuel gauge IC expects. The BMS reads that voltage cliff as a low-cell condition and triggers shutdown before the percentage reaches zero. One full discharge-to-shutoff cycle followed by an uninterrupted charge to 100% resets the IC's discharge curve and moves the cutoff point to where it belongs — below 5%.

Fast charging unavailable after replacing the GT-P6200 battery

Samsung's charge controller on this tablet completes a handshake with the battery's protection circuit before it allows elevated charge current. On a fresh cell, that handshake sometimes doesn't resolve until after the first accepted charge cycle. If the charger reverts to standard 5V input after a swap, plug in and let it complete one full charge without interrupting it. Check the charge rate after the second session — it should restore to the higher current tier the original adapter delivered.
