Technically it’s a few percent over the 80% limit, but when it drops below 80% I’m calling Apple to see if they’ll offer me a free replacement, seeing as a battery with less than 2 years of usage and less than 200 cycles shouldn’t be nearing its end of life.īy the way, sometime near the end of last year, or the start of this year, I started to care for my devices’ batteries in a way that most would describe as OCD-like, after doing some deep research in scientific journals for the main factors that prolong battery lifetime. COCONUTBATTERY IPAD UPDATEUPDATE Jul 22 2019: the battery is now at 178 cycles at only 80.7% health. I know about the beta Battery Health feature in the Settings app, as it's available on my iPhone, but apparently not for iPads. Also, is there an "official" (Apple-blessed) way of obtaining the device's battery health? I don't think they will consider info obtained with coconutBattery as valid. I'm wondering if Apple usually replaces batteries (or the whole unit) in such a situation. If it continues like this, the battery will barely last for 2 years until it reaches the 80% health indicative of end of life. None of my previous iPads (or iPhones, or MacBook Pros, …) showed anything like this so quickly. Such rapid degradation seems out of character. Meanwhile, my iPhone X, which was manufactured in October 2017 and which I started using in November 2017 is still at 100% battery health (in truth, a few mAh above design capacity), despite 138 charging cycles. It has gone through 63 charging cycles and the battery health is already down to about 92%. The coconutBattery app indicates it was manufactured in August 2017. I bought an iPad in January 2018 (this was written in July 2018).
