AA-PBVN3AB 11.4V 43Wh Samsung ATIV Book Replacement Battery — Factory Wholesale Supply

Q1: AA-PBVN3AB and AA-PBVN2AB are both listed as compatible — are these genuinely interchangeable, or is there a fitment risk ordering the wrong one?

A1: The two P/Ns are functionally interchangeable across the ATIV Book platform. AA-PBVN2AB appears in some OEM documentation as a nominal 10.8V designation for the same physical unit; AA-PBVN3AB is the revised listing reflecting the actual 11.4V cell chemistry. The connector, form factor, and BMS profile are identical. Ordering either P/N from a stock position carrying this unit carries no fitment risk on any supported ATIV Book 3, Book 4, or Book 5 model. For purchase orders, AA-PBVN3AB is the preferred reference P/N as it reflects current spec documentation.

Q2: Some listings show 10.8V for this battery. Is the voltage specification on this unit correct?

A2: The correct nominal voltage is 11.4V. The 10.8V figure appears in older aftermarket documentation and some reseller listings that carried over the AA-PBVN2AB designation without updating the voltage to reflect the cell revision. Samsung’s own parts reference and current parts database listings consistently show 11.4V for AA-PBVN3AB. The 11.4V unit is the correct and current OEM-matched specification; 10.8V-listed units may reflect older or uncertified stock.

Q3: Does this battery cover the Samsung 500R5H and Notebook 3 (340XAA / 35X0AA) series, or only the ATIV Book range?

A3: Coverage extends beyond the ATIV Book naming. The NP500R5H series and the Notebook 3 variants — including NP340XAA and NP35X0AA regional models sold primarily in the Asia-Pacific and Chinese markets — are confirmed compatible with AA-PBVN3AB across multiple parts databases. For service depots handling Samsung devices from multiple regional procurement cohorts, this means one P/N covers a substantially broader device population than the ATIV Book label alone suggests.

Q4: After installing this battery, the Samsung system shows “Battery not detected” or refuses to charge. What is the likely cause?

A4: On ATIV Book platform Samsung notebooks, the embedded controller runs an authentication check at boot and on AC reconnection. If the BMS PCB identification response doesn’t match the expected handshake, the system logs a non-detection or charge-inhibit state. First, remove the battery, reseat it fully ensuring connector contact, and perform a cold boot with AC disconnected. If the status persists, reset the EC by holding the power button for 30 seconds with AC and battery disconnected, then reconnect. Units shipping from this stock position are validated for EC handshake compatibility — persistent non-detection after EC reset typically indicates a connector seating issue rather than a BMS mismatch.

Q5: We run a multi-technician repair depot and need to order several Samsung battery P/Ns together. Can we mix AA-PBVN3AB with other Samsung lines on one order?

A5: The depot workflow this model supports directly: place one order combining AA-PBVN3AB with other Samsung battery lines you stock — no requirement to split by P/N into separate purchase orders. Submit the full P/N list with quantities and we’ll return a consolidated quote covering all lines. Low MOQ applies across the combined order. Contact us with your parts list to receive pricing.

Q6: What is the correct storage condition if we’re holding AA-PBVN3AB units as forward stock between service intervals?

A6: For Li-ion cells, hold units at approximately 40–60% state of charge in a cool, dry environment — ideally between 15°C and 25°C. Avoid storage at full charge (100% SOC) for extended periods, as this accelerates calendar aging in Li-ion chemistry. Units stored under these conditions and cycled within 12 months of receipt will perform within the rated capacity specification. This P/N has no storage characteristic that deviates from standard Li-ion handling protocol.
