OEM part numbers EB-BC500ABE and EB-BC500ABA both cross-reference to this cell. It fits all variants in the C5 lineup that share the original Samsung connector and BMS handshake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eC5 and C5 Duos compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The SM-C5000 single-SIM and the C5 Duos TD-LTE use the same battery bay, connector pinout, and BMS communication protocol. Both variants accept this cell without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this battery on an SM-C5000 mainboard and confirmed the BMS handshake completed correctly — the charge IC accepted the cell, the fuel gauge IC began tracking, and no charge-fault flags were raised.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel gauge recalibration on first install:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this cell, disable Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging for the first full discharge-to-charge cycle. The Galaxy C5's fuel gauge IC is calibrated to the original cell's discharge curve. One standard charge cycle lets it recalibrate before high-current charging pushes current into an uncalibrated cell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eSudden shutdown at 20–30% on the Galaxy C5 after a cell swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Galaxy C5 shuts down mid-use despite the status bar showing charge remaining because the fuel gauge IC is still mapping the old cell's voltage-to-capacity curve. A new Li-Polymer cell has a slightly different discharge curve — the point where voltage drops sharply under modem or display load sits at a different state-of-charge than the IC expects. When the CPU draws a burst and cell voltage dips below the cutoff threshold, the phone cuts power even though the gauge hasn't hit 0%. One full discharge down to automatic shutdown, followed by an uninterrupted charge to 100%, resets the coulomb counter and eliminates these premature cutoffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eSamsung Adaptive Fast Charging not activating after battery replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eOn the first cycle after a cell swap, the Galaxy C5's charge IC may not negotiate the fast-charge protocol with the replacement cell's BMS. This shows up as the phone charging at standard 5V\/1A instead of the higher-voltage fast-charge rate. The BMS on a new cell starts in a cautious state and may require one standard charge cycle before the handshake completes correctly. After that first full cycle, reconnect the charger — Adaptive Fast Charging should activate and the notification shade will confirm it at 9V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43392081428570,"sku":"BWCS-SMC500XL-1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43392081461338,"sku":"BWCS-SMC500XL-2","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43392081494106,"sku":"BWCS-SMC500XL-3","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-SMC500XL-1.webp?v=1779143639","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/samsung-galaxy-c5-replacement-battery-385v-2600mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
