We investigate the shell-filling sequence of gate-defined elliptic bilayer graphene quantum dots (QDs) with low charge carrier occupation (N ≤ 12), using magnetotransport spectroscopy and numerical calculations. Considering short-range electron-electron interactions and wave-function-dependent valley g-factors, we deepen our understanding of the fourfold shell-filling sequence, emphasizing the need to include these factors. They introduce an additional energy splitting at half filling of each orbital state, and different energy shifts in out-of-plane magnetic fields. Our analysis of 31 bilayer graphene QDs shows that the valley g-factor and energy splitting increase as QD size decreases, aligning with theoretical predictions. The charging energy of these QDs does not consistently correlate with size, revealing complex electrostatics and offering insights for future BLG QD devices.
