About this replacement
Verizon Ellipsis 10 — 3.8V Li-Polymer Replacement Battery (MLP3276120-2P)
This 3.8V, 6600mAh lithium-polymer battery replaces part number MLP3276120-2P in the Verizon Ellipsis 10 tablet. It fits the Ellipsis 10, QTAIR7, Ellipsis 10 XLTE, and Ellipsis 10 16GB variants. If your tablet no longer holds charge or shuts down unexpectedly, this is the direct swap.
- Ellipsis 10 platform fit: The QTAIR7, Ellipsis 10 XLTE, and 16GB models share the same battery bay dimensions and connector pinout as the base Ellipsis 10. All four draw from a single-cell Li-Polymer configuration with the same BMS communication lines, so one battery part number covers all variants without modification.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this cell through charge and discharge cycles on the Ellipsis 10 platform. The BMS handshake cleared on first connection, charge IC accepted the cell without fault flags, and voltage held within spec across a full discharge curve.
- Fuel gauge recalibration after swap: After fitting this battery, run the tablet down to automatic shutoff, then charge it uninterrupted to 100% without using it. This single full cycle resets the fuel gauge IC against the new cell's actual capacity and corrects the inaccurate percentage display that almost always appears right after a battery replacement.
Ellipsis 10 shutting down at 15–25% remaining
The Ellipsis 10 runs a 10-inch display alongside active WiFi, and that combined load pulls enough current to cause a sharp voltage sag at the low end of the discharge curve. The battery's terminal voltage drops below the BMS cutoff threshold before the fuel gauge ever reaches 0%. The tablet reads 15–25% on screen and then cuts out without warning. After fitting a new cell, run the recalibration cycle described above — if the shutdowns continue past one full cycle, check that the display brightness is not set to maximum during the test.
Fast charging unavailable after battery replacement on the Ellipsis 10
Some users find the tablet reverts to slow charging after a battery swap even when using the original charger. The charge IC needs at least one completed charge cycle before it re-negotiates USB-PD or the device's proprietary fast-charge protocol with the new cell. Plug in the original Verizon charger and let the tablet charge from near-empty to 100% without interruption. Fast charge availability typically restores after that first accepted cycle completes.
