I have several Insignia 10.1" tablets (P10A7100) that are single use and always are plugged in to AC (they never move). I originally was under the impression they would always work while plugged in to AC even after the battery failed. I now fear this may not be the case. Does anyone know of a method to keep them working with just the charger plugged in (after the battery gives up). Perhaps a way to wire that 5V 2A power around the battery? If this is not possible, does anyone know of a source for new batteries for this model? Thanks.
Hi, Here’s a link to a supplier of the batteries. I suggest that you verify the dimensions of the replacement battery, (Width: 100mm; Height (Length): 150mm; Thick: 2.5mm) ‘‘with one that you already have , just to ensure that they will physically fit into the tablet. Here’s a link to the ifixit Insignia Flex 10.1 NS-P10A6100 Battery Replacement guide, which may be of some help. As an aside, it is interesting to note that the battery shown in the guide is a 6000 mAH 3.7V LiPO battery and the supplier is advertising a 5000 mAH 3.7V LiPO battery, just so that you are aware that the tablet may not operate for as long when on a fully charged battery only as perhaps it did with the original battery, when the battery was OK. ;-). Hopefully this is of some help.
