Understanding Battery Health on Your iPad
As your iPad ages, the battery may start to lose its capacity, leading to shorter battery life, longer charging times, and even unexpected shutdowns. Checking your iPad’s battery health can give you an idea of its current state and help you decide whether it’s time for a replacement. In this article, we’ll show you how to check your iPad’s battery health and what to look for.
Checking Your iPad’s Battery Health
1. Go to “Settings” on your iPad
2. Select “Battery”
3. Tap on “Battery Health”
Here, you’ll see a percentage that represents your battery’s maximum capacity compared to when it was new. Ideally, this should be as close to 100% as possible, but it’s natural for it to degrade over time. You’ll also see a “Peak Performance Capability” section that tells you if your iPad’s performance may be impacted due to an aging battery. If it says “Optimized Battery Charging On,” your iPad may have a better battery lifespan as Apple will learn from your daily charging habits.
Understanding Battery Health Warnings
If your iPad’s battery health is below 80%, you may see a warning that suggests your battery may need servicing. This means that your battery isn’t holding as much of a charge as it should be, resulting in shorter usage time.
If you see this warning, Apple’s support pages say to contact Apple Support. They will help diagnose the issue and come up with potential solutions for you.
Tips for Extending Battery Life
1. Turn down your screen brightness
2. Use low-power mode when your battery reaches 20% or lower
3. Reduce your screen time-out duration
4. Turn off App notifications when possible
5. Disable auto-playing videos in web browsers such as Google Chrome
By following these tips, you can help preserve your iPad’s battery health and extend its lifespan.
Conclusion
Your iPad’s battery health is crucial to the device’s overall performance and lifespan. Always keep an eye on your battery’s health, and take care of it by following the various tips listed above. If you do experience any issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to Apple support to find a resolution.
