Will replacing the battery resolve kernel panic: TG0B missing sensor?

I have a repeating kernel panicking iPad Pro 2016 and have seen in the panic logs that it’s missing the TG0B sensor. This seems to be a thermal sensor related to the battery.

I have been searching online whether this is fixable by replacing the battery and got mixed results. One website says that the BMS (which might contain the TG0B sensor?) is not located on the battery module and that this is a logic board problem. Another website says that this should be fixed with that new battery module.

Can anyone confirm whether replacing the battery has resolved the kernel panic?

After opening the iPad, i found that it had been opened before. I could tell as the logic board had missing screws, the battery has been replaced before, some plastic parts were missing and the external keyboard connector was severely bent. After further disassembling the iPad, i noticed that the battery connector on the logic board had a pin missing as outlined in this image from the iFixit repair manual:
