About this replacement
GE Logiq E10 / Logiq S8 — 14.4V Li-ion Replacement Battery (480304-2)
This 14.4V 10200mAh lithium-ion battery replaces OEM part numbers 480304-2, 5450061-2, M2843, and U80304-2. It fits the GE Logiq E10, Logiq S8 Polaris, Polaris Maru, and Ultraschall Logiq P7 ultrasound systems. These are clinical-grade portable imaging machines — the battery powers the system during point-of-care examinations when mains power is unavailable.
- Logiq E10 / S8 platform compatibility: These models share the same 14.4V battery architecture, connector pinout, and BMS communication protocol. A single cell pack services the full platform without modification.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through charge and discharge on the Logiq platform. The BMS handshake completed correctly, charge termination triggered at capacity, and no false fault codes were logged during the self-test sequence.
- Post-swap startup protocol: After installing this battery, allow the Logiq system to complete its full power-on self-test without interruption. The BMS runs a verification cycle at boot. Interrupting startup before that cycle finishes triggers a battery fault flag that persists until the next clean reboot.
Why the Logiq E10 flags a battery fault on the first few cycles with a new pack
GE's BMS on the Logiq platform compares delivered capacity against a threshold calibrated to aged OEM cells. A brand-new cell has slightly different charge acceptance and internal resistance than the BMS expects on cycle one. This mismatch can trigger a fault flag even when the battery is fully charged. One complete charge-discharge cycle is usually enough for the BMS to update its learned parameters and clear the flag. Do not attempt clinical use until the self-test passes cleanly.
Logiq system will not power on after the battery sat unused in storage
Li-ion cells self-discharge at roughly 2–3% per month. If this pack has sat in storage — or shipped after time in a warehouse — cell voltage may have dropped below the Logiq BMS recovery threshold, typically around 10.8V for a 14.4V nominal pack. At that voltage, the BMS locks out discharge to protect the cells and the device will not boot. Place the battery on charge immediately after installation and leave it connected for a full charge cycle before powering on. If the charger does not engage, hold charge for 30 minutes — most BMS firmware includes a trickle-recovery mode that activates after a brief delay.
