How Long Should an iPad Battery Last?
Apple designs iPad batteries to retain a significant percentage of their original capacity after many charge cycles. However, all rechargeable batteries gradually wear out over time.
What a new battery does
Can a new battery help?
Sometimes. A new battery won't make an old iPad faster, but it can:
A new battery can:
- Improve daily usability
- Reduce charging interruptions
- Restore battery runtime
- Reduce unexpected shutdowns
- Make the device more practical for school, work, or travel
Tested before collection
Included in every repairA final inspection is completed before collection.
Every repaired iPad is checked for:
- Charging performance

Is a Swollen iPad Battery Safe To Use?
No.
A swollen battery can damage the screen and is a safety risk.
Stop using and charging it straight away, and bring it in. We'll replace it safely.
Will I Lose My Data?
Battery replacement doesn't normally affect your data.
We always recommend backing up to iCloud or a computer before any repair, just in case.
Is iPad Battery Replacement Worth It?
In many cases, yes.
Battery replacement is often worthwhile when:
- The iPad still meets your needs
- The device performs well apart from battery life
- Repair costs are significantly lower than replacement
- The battery is the primary issue
- You want to extend the life of the device
Replacement may be worth considering when:
- Multiple major repairs are required
- The iPad no longer meets your needs
- Performance limitations are becoming significant
- Repair costs approach replacement value
If replacing the iPad makes more financial sense, we'll explain why. We can also show you refurbished iPad options.
