It replaces the original cell when the system no longer holds charge or powers on from battery alone. OEM part numbers covered include 5B11K39157, L22B4PC3, L22M4PC3, and fifteen additional cross-references.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThinkPad S3 series compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same 15.56V four-cell Li-Polymer architecture, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. The SMBus communication between battery and EC firmware is identical across the 83AG range, so a single cell covers the full cluster.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this cell through charge, full-load discharge, and hibernate-cutoff on a ThinkPad S3 unit. The BMS negotiated correctly with the EC at first boot, and the protection circuit tripped at the expected low-voltage threshold without triggering a false shutdown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle reset after installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this cell, run one full discharge to hibernate-cutoff, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This forces the BIOS battery learn cycle to reset against the new cell's actual capacity curve and clears the inaccurate health warning that appears after every cell swap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBIOS reporting battery health as poor immediately after replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe ThinkPad EC reads health data from the battery's EEPROM, which stores cycle count, rated capacity, and degradation flags from the previous cell. When a new cell is installed, the EEPROM values don't automatically reset — so the BIOS inherits the old cell's wear history and displays a poor health warning even though the cell is new. Running the battery learn cycle (full discharge to hibernate, full uninterrupted charge) prompts the EC to re-baseline against the new cell. After one or two completed cycles, the health indicator updates to reflect the actual cell condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eLaptop shutting down at 20–30% charge shown on screen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis is a voltage-cliff failure, not a fuel gauge error. Under combined CPU and display load, cell voltage drops faster than the fuel gauge IC can track — the pack hits the BMS low-voltage cutoff while the OS still reads 20–30% remaining. It happens most often when the calibration cycle has never been completed after fitting a new cell. Run a full discharge-to-hibernate followed by a complete charge to 100%, which forces the fuel gauge IC to recalibrate its state-of-charge model against the new cell's actual voltage curve. After calibration, the shutdown threshold and displayed percentage should align at or below 5%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43409526882394,"sku":"BWCS-LVS833NB-1","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43409526915162,"sku":"BWCS-LVS833NB-2","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43409526947930,"sku":"BWCS-LVS833NB-3","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-LVS833NB-1.webp?v=1779579940","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/lenovo-83ag003qau-replacement-battery-1556v-6400mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
