Our warranty doesn’t cover batteries that wear down from normal use. Accidental damage isn’t covered by the Apple warranty. Use our “Get an Estimate” tool to review potential costs if you get service directly from Apple. This page uses safe scripts to provide service price estimates.
We’ll inspect your product when we receive it and confirm the service charges. AppleCare+ also provides coverage for accidental damage from handling for your iPad, Apple Pencil, or Smart Keyboard, and each incident is subject to a service fee.
iPad Air Wi-Fi Battery Replacement
If you choose to isolate the battery this way, heed all warnings and work extremely carefully.
How to Replace a Dead iPad Battery
The iPad battery generally has a life of a few years, but it will eventually start to hold less power and need to be recharged more often. It’s not easy to replace an iPad battery because Apple designs its products with solid cases that can only be opened with effort and skill. If your warranty is still active, go to Apple’s iPad Repair support page and click the Start a service request link in the “iPad battery and power” section (Search the page for “Start a service request” to find it faster). The repaired or replaced iPad should arrive three to five business days after you give yours to Apple.
Apple may test your iPad to see if the problem was caused by something not covered by the warranty (if so, your replacement likely won’t be free). You can extend your iPad’s battery life by disabling certain features like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use.
It will cost between $50 and $90 to buy the tools and parts needed to replace the iPad battery.
Apple can now replace internal battery of iPad mini 6 rather than the entire device
For some unknown reason, Apple never replaced just the internal battery of the sixth-generation iPad mini. Starting today, Apple Stores and service providers around the world will have the tools to replace the battery in the latest model of the iPad mini 6.
With the launch of the iPhone 14, iFixit has revealed that the back glass of the new models (except for the Pro lineup) can be easily replaced. It’s worth noting that Apple now has a self-service repair program that provides parts and tools for those interested in fixing iPhones, iPads, and Macs themselves.
Apple no longer replacing entire iPad mini 6 just to swap the battery
Repair shops and experienced DIY-ers know this, and Apple seems to acknowledge it, usually giving customers seeking battery swaps a new iPad instead. For customers, getting a replacement iPad could sometimes be a small blessing, as scratches, dents, or other defects not noticeable at a glance would be fixed by Apple’s supply chain. That’s set against the process of having to restore a full backup and sign into dozens or hundreds of apps again, simply because you needed a new battery.
