Descripción del Producto
The iPad Pro 11-inch 2018 (1st generation) launched Apple’s current iPad Pro form factor — no Home button, Face ID, USB-C, Liquid Retina display. Units from this release are now well past their original battery service life: the global install base is large, the repair market is active, and A2042 is one of the more consistently demanded SKUs in the tablet battery category.
This replacement cell uses a 1S2P architecture — two pure LiCoO₂ (lithium cobalt oxide) soft-pack cells connected in parallel, cell-matched within ±20mAh before assembly. The delivered rating is 3.82V nominal at 7812mAh. The BMS chipset is a Texas Instruments solution, not a generic IC: TI’s fuel gauge algorithm communicates accurate state-of-charge data to iOS, which is why battery health percentage reads correctly after installation without extended calibration cycles. Generic BMS chipsets frequently cause erratic percentage display on iPad Pro models — this is the most common complaint on aftermarket batteries for this device.

Características y ventajas
✅ 🔋 1S2P Pure Cobalt — Matched-Pair Assembly
Two LiCoO₂ cells graded and paired within ±20mAh before parallel connection. Cell imbalance is the primary cause of premature capacity loss in dual-cell designs — this step is skipped by most aftermarket suppliers. Delivered output: ≥ 7812mAh actual measured capacity.
✅ 🧠 Texas Instruments BMS Chipset
TI’s fuel gauge IC communicates accurate state-of-charge data to iPadOS. Battery health percentage displays correctly from first charge. Generic IC chipsets on competing aftermarket batteries frequently cause erratic percentage readouts and false low-battery warnings on this model — a known pain point for repair shops getting return complaints.
✅ ⚡ USB-C PD Compatible PCM
PCM overcharge cutoff at 4.35V, over-discharge at 2.75V — tuned for the iPad Pro 11 2018’s USB-C Power Delivery charging profile. Standard Lightning-era PCM designs are not rated for this input; this one is.
✅ 📋 CE, FCC & RoHS — Import Documentation as Standard
CE (EU), FCC (US), RoHS, and UN38.3 test reports provided with bulk orders. MSDS/SDS on request. No separate documentation chase needed for repeat customers — documents ship with the order.
✅ 📦 MOQ 50 pcs — Mixed SKU Orders Accepted
Minimum 10 pcs. Mix with other iPad or tablet battery SKUs from our catalog — counts toward the same threshold. Custom labeling from 200 pcs. Free samples before volume commitment; buyer covers freight.

Preguntas frecuentes
Q1: Which iPad Pro 11-inch 2018 models does this battery fit?
A: This battery fits all variants of the iPad Pro 11-inch 2018 (1st generation): A1980 (Wi-Fi), A1979 (Wi-Fi China), A2013 (Cellular Global), and A1934 (Cellular alt). Battery P/N is A2042, Apple internal codes 020-02875 and 020-02507. It does not fit the iPad Pro 11-inch 2nd Gen (2020) or later — verify the model number on the back housing before ordering.
Q2: Why does the BMS chipset matter — what’s different about a TI solution?
A: The battery management IC controls how the battery communicates its state-of-charge to iPadOS. Texas Instruments’ fuel gauge algorithm is calibrated for Apple’s battery reporting protocol. Batteries with generic IC chipsets frequently display inaccurate battery percentages, trigger false low-battery shutdowns, or show inflated health readings on the iPad Pro 11 2018. TI-based designs eliminate these issues — which is why repair shops see fewer return complaints compared to generic alternatives.
Q3: What does 1S2P mean for this battery?
A: 1S2P means two cells in parallel. To reach 7812mAh within the iPad Pro 11’s physical housing, two individual LiCoO₂ cells are connected in parallel. The production-critical step is cell matching: both cells must measure within ±20mAh of each other before assembly. Unmatched cells cause one cell to bear disproportionate load, accelerating degradation and reducing effective capacity faster than a single-cell design would. Our cells are matched before assembly.
Q4: Does this battery need calibration after installation?
A: The TI BMS chip handles accurate fuel gauge reporting from the first charge. For best initial iOS battery health percentage accuracy, run 1–2 full charge/discharge cycles post-installation. This is a gauge calibration step only — the cell delivers full capacity from cycle one regardless.
Q5: What is the MOQ and can I combine with other tablet battery SKUs?
A: MOQ is 50 pcs. Mixed orders combining this SKU with other iPad or tablet battery models in our catalog count toward the same 50-pc threshold — no per-SKU minimums. Stock orders ship in 3–5 business days. Free samples available before any volume commitment; buyer covers outbound freight.
Q6: What certifications are included and are documents available for customs clearance?
A: CE (EU), FCC (US), RoHS, and UN38.3 (air transport). MSDS and SDS on request. Batch test reports — capacity, voltage, BMS function — can accompany each shipment. All documents provided as standard with bulk orders, no additional lead time required.
