It fits the SM-T550, SM-P550, and SM-P555, along with six additional variants in the same lineup. Swap it in when the original cell no longer holds a charge or the tablet stops powering on away from the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSM-T550 and SM-P550 \/ SM-P555 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share the same battery bay dimensions, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. The EB-BT550ABA and EB-BT550ABE part numbers are interchangeable across the full Tab A 9.7 range — Samsung used both OEM references for the same cell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this cell on an SM-T550 and monitored the charge IC through a full cycle. The BMS accepted the charge handshake without fault flags, and voltage stabilised at 3.8V nominal with no thermal events under display-plus-WiFi load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePost-install calibration on the Tab A 9.7:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this battery, run one full discharge to automatic shutoff, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. The Tab A 9.7's fuel gauge IC was calibrated to the old cell — skipping this step causes the percentage readout to jump or stall at incorrect values.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eTablet shutting down at 15–25% remaining after battery swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe Tab A 9.7 draws hardest when the display brightness is high and WiFi is actively syncing. At around 15–25% state of charge, a new uncalibrated cell can hit a voltage cliff that the fuel gauge misreads as a safe level. The charge controller triggers an emergency shutoff before the displayed percentage reaches zero. One full discharge-to-shutoff cycle followed by an uninterrupted charge to 100% resets the fuel gauge against the new cell's actual voltage curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eFast charging unavailable on the Tab A 9.7 after battery replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eAdaptive fast charge on the Tab A 9.7 requires the charge IC to complete one accepted full charge cycle before it enables higher-rate negotiation with the charger. A freshly installed cell starts this process from scratch — the protocol won't engage on the first charge. Use the original Samsung charger, not a third-party adapter, and allow the first cycle to complete fully. After that cycle, fast charge availability returns to normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43426010234970,"sku":"BWCS-SMT550SL-1","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43426010267738,"sku":"BWCS-SMT550SL-2","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43426010300506,"sku":"BWCS-SMT550SL-3","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-SMT550SL-1.webp?v=1779930219","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/samsung-galaxy-tab-a-97-replacement-battery-38v-6000mah-li-polymer","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
