Now that you know the battery capacity of your iPad, let’s discuss what it means, and whether you need to take any action.
Suppose you’ve purchased an iPad in the last year; expect the battery health to hover around 95%. If it’s two years old, the number should be between 90% and 85%, and that’s fine.
However, if the battery health falls drastically to 90% or, say, 85% in a couple of months since you purchased the device, you should contact Apple support and ask them to examine if there’s a problem with your iPad, and if it needs a battery replacement.
As general practice, you shouldn’t charge your iPad with third-party chargers, which might harm the battery. Apple also recommends users update their iPads to the latest version of iPadOS and enable auto-brightness. To extend the battery life, users can also enable low power mode.
That’s about it. Now you know how to check your iPad’s battery health, how to interpret it, and what you can do to preserve the battery.
