That depends on the tablet. But at least some kind of protection
circuitry is part of the battery pack.

Yes, the tablet may work with regulated 5V. However some Android devices
don't work with a LiIon battery present. I had this issue with an old
"Archos 35 Home Connect"
(<https://arnowelzel.de/en/android-on-a-clock-radio>). The battery once
didn't work any longer and I decided to remove the battery and use the
device with external power only since the device was stationary anyway.
However that didn't work. Without a battery connected the device didn't
even power on even with external power provided.
