If you see the following symptoms on your iPad, there is a high chance that your battery has come up with issues that warrant a complete replacement. However, we encourage you not to self-diagnose and book an appointment with our experts to get professional advice about your iPad battery.
Here are some of the symptoms you should look out for:
- Battery doesn’t last as long as it used to/as long as specified (for a new device)
- Certain sections of the battery are bulged, which also sometimes distort the screen or display
- The device gets heated up very quickly when used for relatively less-consuming tasks
- The device refuses to turn on even after being plugged in for a long time
- iPad starts rebooting at random intervals while you are working on an app
Usually, when this happens, there is a reasonable explanation for the issues. After extensive usage of the device over the course of several years, the battery cycles of the device get depleted. As a result, the device is capable of holding only a fraction of energy it could hold earlier. Since battery cycles, once depleted, cannot be replaced, the battery will no longer be functional unless it is replaced.
Excessive charging of the iPad with incompatible chargers and power adapters can also lead to the degradation of the battery over time. A common symptom of using an incompatible power plug or charging cable is the constant overheating of the device and the plug while plugged in.
If your device is relatively new (less than 1 year), there might be a manufacturing defect with your device. In this case, no matter what you try, if your warranty has expired, you will have to get the battery replaced if you want to keep using your device.
