Battery Care Tips
Battery Care Tips
🔹 Getting Started
Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.
🔹 Keep It Healthy
Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Lenovo ThinkPad E480S / E490S — 11.25V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (L18M3P52)
This is an 11.25V, 3650mAh (41.06Wh) Li-Polymer battery for the Lenovo ThinkPad E480S and E490S. It replaces OEM part numbers L18M3P52, L18M3P51, L18C3P51, 02DL001, 02DL000, 02DL002, SB10K97640, SB10K97639, and SB10K97641. If your original cell is no longer holding a charge or BIOS is flagging poor battery health, this cell fits directly into those chassis.
- E480S and E490S platform fit: Both models share the same battery bay geometry, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol — Lenovo used a common battery spec across the S-suffix E4x0 series, which is why this cell carries cross-compatible OEM part numbers for both.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell in a ThinkPad E480S and confirmed the BMS negotiated correctly — BIOS recognised the battery, voltage reporting stabilised within one charge cycle, and charge current ramped normally from trickle to full rate without a fault flag.
- First-cycle calibration on ThinkPad E-series: After fitting this cell, run a full discharge down to hibernate cutoff, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This resets the BIOS battery learn cycle and clears the inaccurate health warning that appears on the status page immediately after a cell swap.
BIOS reporting poor battery health after fitting a new cell
ThinkPad firmware reads health data from the battery's EEPROM and compares it against a stored baseline from the old cell. A freshly swapped cell has no charge history logged, so BIOS flags it as degraded or unknown — even when the cell is brand new. This is a firmware interpretation issue, not a hardware fault. Running one full discharge-to-hibernate then a complete uninterrupted charge gives BIOS enough cycle data to reset the health reading to normal.

This happens when the fuel gauge IC hasn't yet calibrated against the new cell's actual voltage curve. The gauge loses accuracy when a new cell is installed, so it under-reads remaining capacity — the system hits a low-voltage shutdown before the displayed percentage reaches zero. Under full CPU plus display load, voltage sag accelerates this cutoff point. Complete two full discharge and charge cycles to let the fuel gauge IC re-map the new cell's curve, and the reported percentage at shutdown will drop back toward single digits.

Frequently Asked Questions
BIOS shows my ThinkPad E480S battery as "poor health" right after I installed a new cell — is the battery faulty?
It isn't faulty. The ThinkPad BIOS reads health data from the battery's EEPROM, and a new cell has no charge history written to it yet — so firmware interprets the blank record as degradation. Run a full discharge to hibernate cutoff, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. That single learn cycle writes enough data for BIOS to clear the warning and report normal health.
Windows is showing a completely wrong Wh rating for this battery in the power report — it doesn't match the 41Wh spec on the listing.
The Wh figure Windows displays comes from the rated capacity stored in the battery's EEPROM, which reflects the original OEM cell chemistry classification. The actual measured capacity after calibration cycles may read slightly differently depending on how the fuel gauge IC interprets the new cell. Run two full discharge-and-charge cycles. After the second cycle, the reported Wh in the Windows battery report typically converges closer to the physical cell rating.
My ThinkPad E480S battery stops charging at 80% and won't go higher — is something wrong with this cell?
Nothing is wrong with the cell. Lenovo's BIOS includes a charge threshold feature that caps charging at 80% to reduce long-term cell wear — it ships enabled by default on many ThinkPad models. Open Lenovo Vantage, navigate to Power, then Battery Charge Threshold, and either disable the limit or set the upper threshold to 100%. Once changed, the battery will charge to full on the next cycle.
