About this replacement
Toshiba Portege T110 / T130 Series — 10.8V Li-ion Replacement Battery (PA3780U-1BRS)
This is a 10.8V, 4400mAh (47.52Wh) Li-ion replacement battery for the Toshiba Portege T110, T112, T130, and T131 series notebooks. It cross-references OEM part numbers PA3780U-1BRS, PABAS116, PABAS21, and A000062460. If you're replacing a dead or degraded original cell in any of these ultra-portable business notebooks, this is the correct unit.
- Portege T110/T112/T130/T131 fitment: These four models share the same battery bay dimensions, connector pinout, and BMS handshake protocol. The 10.8V nominal rail and three-cell Li-ion configuration are consistent across the T1xx platform, so one SKU covers all variants.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge-discharge cycles on a T130. The BMS communicated correctly with the system from the first cycle — no charge rejection, no fault codes. Capacity held within 3% of the rated 4400mAh across repeated cycles.
- Post-install calibration on the T110/T130: After fitting this battery, run the laptop on battery alone until it hibernates at low charge, then charge uninterrupted to 100%. This forces the BIOS battery learn cycle to reset against the new cell and clears the inaccurate "poor health" warning that appears after any cell swap on this platform.
Why the Portege T130 shuts down at 20–30% remaining after a battery swap
The T130 BIOS uses stored discharge curve data from the old cell to predict cutoff voltage. When you install a new cell, that data doesn't match the new chemistry profile. The system reads an artificially low state-of-charge and triggers an emergency shutdown before the cell is actually depleted. Running two full discharge-to-hibernate cycles recalibrates the fuel gauge IC against the new cell's actual voltage curve. After two cycles, shutdown behaviour returns to normal.
BIOS reporting battery as "unknown" or 0% immediately after fitting
This happens because the EEPROM data embedded in the old battery pack no longer matches what the system is reading from the new cell. The T110 and T130 BIOS pulls Wh rating, cycle count, and health status from the battery's EEPROM on first contact — if that handshake returns unexpected values, it flags the battery as unknown. Connect the AC adapter, allow a full uninterrupted charge to 100%, then reboot. The BIOS re-reads the EEPROM on a clean power cycle and registers the battery correctly. If the "unknown" status persists past the second full charge, check that the battery connector is fully seated — a partial connection corrupts the SMBus data read.
