How To Check Ipad Battery Health 2025 Guide

Method 1: Search in Analytics Data on iPad

The first one is a longer and more in-depth method to check the battery health of an iPad. While there’s no way to directly see the iPad’s battery health, Apple keeps data related to maximum battery charge percentage and cycle count which can help interpret the state of your iPad’s battery health. Bear in mind, that you can’t access this data unless you tweak a couple of settings. Here’s all that you need to do:

Step 1: Enable iPad Analytics

Step 2: Open Analytics Data

Step 3: Search the Analytics File

That’s how you can check iPad battery health without using a third-party app.

Method 2: Using Shortcuts App

The easier way to check iPad battery health is by using the Shortcuts app. Reddit users u/nairzak and u/ericswpark shared how you can quickly get your iPad battery health details by installing the Battery Stats shortcut with the Analytics file opened in the Settings app.
It’s worth knowing that this method won’t give you the MaximumCapacityPercentage which allows you to compare your iPad’s battery health to the original battery capacity listed on Apple’s specs pages. That said, you can have a fair idea of your iPad’s battery health.

Method 3: Using a Third-Party App

If you’re thinking if there’s an app to check iPad battery life, you’re in luck. While the App Store has several options, we recommend checking out the iMazing app to know your iPad battery health. Before you get too excited, let me tell you this app has two requirements.

First, you need a Mac or a computer to plug in your iPad. Second, it’s a paid app and you can activate a free trial.

If you’re ready, follow the below steps:

Know When to Replace an iPad Battery

Now that you know the battery capacity of your iPad, you can use it to understand if your iPad’s battery needs replacing.
If your iPad is one year old and has a battery health of around 95%, you need not worry. If you bought an iPad two years ago and it now shows a battery health of around 90%, that’s fine as well.
On the flip side, if it’s been only a few months since you got an iPad and the battery health appears drastically below 90% or 85%, you must contact Apple support, get your iPad examined, and ask them if the battery needs to be replaced. Rather than these percentages, it’s a great idea to replace the iPad battery only when you start to encounter issues with the device. The common issues include sudden battery drain, shorter-than-expected battery life, and sluggish performance.
Also, if you’re using a years-old iPad and the battery dropped below 80% of its original capacity, you must go for a replacement. Of course, you can continue using your iPad with a reduced capacity, but make sure to deal with reduced runtime.
Apple will charge you somewhere between $99 to $179 to replace the battery on iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro, and iPad mini models. The exact amount of iPad battery replacement costs depends on which iPad model you’re using. You can use Apple’s Get Estimate tool to know in advance how much you need to pay if you replace your iPad’s battery directly from Apple.
That’s all for now. You can use any of those workarounds to check iPad battery health until Apple adds a dedicated Battery Health feature to iPadOS. In case you’re looking for ways to improve the battery health on your device, here are 10 tips to prolong your iPad’s battery health.
