About this replacement
Alcatel One Touch POP 10 — 3.8V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (TLP046A2)
This is a 3.8V, 4600mAh lithium-polymer cell for the Alcatel OT-P360X and One Touch POP 10 (9.6) tablet. It replaces OEM part numbers TLP046A2 and CAC4600007C2. If the original cell has degraded, lost charge capacity, or stopped holding any charge, this restores normal tablet operation.
- OT-P360X and One Touch POP 10 fit: These models share the same 3.8V battery rail, physical dimensions, and connector pinout. The 141.30 x 123.00 x 2.60mm cell fits the battery bay without modification, and the BMS communicates correctly with the tablet's charge IC.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this cell through charge and discharge on the OT-P360X platform. The BMS accepted charge current without fault codes and balanced correctly at full capacity. Voltage at full charge measured within spec.
- Fuel gauge recalibration after swap: After installing this battery, run the tablet down to automatic shutoff — do not force it off — then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This single full cycle lets the fuel gauge IC recalibrate against the new cell and clears the inaccurate percentage readings that commonly appear after a battery replacement.
Tablet shutting down at 15–25% remaining after battery swap
The OT-P360X runs a combined display and WiFi load that draws a sharp current spike. If the fuel gauge IC is still calibrated to the old degraded cell, it misreads the new cell's actual voltage curve and triggers a low-battery shutdown early. This is not a fault with the replacement battery. One full discharge-to-shutoff cycle followed by an uninterrupted charge to 100% resets the calibration. After that cycle, the tablet should hold charge through to single-digit percentages as expected.
Fast charging not available after fitting a new cell
Some users find the tablet reverts to standard charge speed after a battery swap. The charge IC needs at least one completed charge cycle — from low voltage to full — before it re-negotiates the faster charge profile. Use the original charger and cable for the first cycle, not a third-party adapter. After one full accepted charge cycle, fast charging should resume at its normal rate.
