LG G Pad 5 10.1 Replacement Battery BL-M02 3.8V 8000mAh

LG G Pad 5 10.1 Series — 3.8V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (BL-M02)

This 3.8V, 8000mAh Li-Polymer battery replaces the original BL-M02 (also listed as EAC6452601) in the LG G Pad 5 10.1 and G Pad 5 10.1 FHD tablets, including LM-T600L and LM-T600QS variants. It fits the original battery bay directly, using the same flex connector and BMS pinout as the OEM cell. Capacity matches factory spec at 8000mAh / 30.4Wh.

• G Pad 5 10.1 and 10.1 FHD compatibility: Both the standard and FHD variants run the same 3.8V power rail with an identical connector and BMS handshake. The LM-T600L and LM-T600QS share the same battery bay dimensions — 154.45 × 116.82 × 2.80mm — so one cell fits across all four models without modification.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran charge and discharge cycles on this cell against a G Pad 5 10.1 unit. The BMS handshook correctly on first connection, charge current accepted without fault flags, and the protection circuit tripped at the expected low-voltage cutoff threshold under load.
• Fuel gauge recalibration after swap: After fitting this battery, run one full discharge to automatic shutoff, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. The fuel gauge IC in the G Pad 5 is calibrated against the old cell's discharge curve — skipping this step causes the percentage display to drift or read incorrectly from day one.

G Pad 5 10.1 shutting down at 15–25% remaining

The G Pad 5 drives a large 1080p display alongside active WiFi and background sync — a combined load that pulls significant current in short bursts. When a degraded original cell can no longer hold voltage under that combined draw, the BMS cuts power to protect the circuit even though the fuel gauge still shows charge remaining. A new cell resolves the voltage sag, but the fuel gauge IC must be recalibrated or it will misread the new cell's actual low-voltage point. Run one full discharge-to-shutoff cycle after installation, then charge straight to 100% without interruption.

Fast charging not available after battery replacement on G Pad 5

The G Pad 5 10.1 uses USB Power Delivery negotiation to unlock higher charge rates — the charge IC needs at least one accepted full charge cycle on the new cell before it confirms the battery as conditioned and enables elevated current. If fast charge is absent immediately after fitting this battery, that is expected behaviour. Plug in with the original LG charger and let the tablet complete one uninterrupted charge to 100%. After that cycle, USB-PD negotiation runs normally and the higher charge rate becomes available again.
