Signs Your iPad Battery Needs Replacing
Most iPad battery faults are easy to identify. If you recognise any of these symptoms, bring your iPad in, we test battery health and give you a written quote before starting.
iPad Dying at 40% or 50%
The battery gauge jumps from 40% to zero suddenly. This is a classic sign of a degraded lithium cell that can no longer sustain load at lower charge levels.
Swollen or Raised Back Cover
A bulging back panel means the battery is swelling. This is a safety risk, continued use can crack the screen or damage internal components. Repair immediately.
Barely Lasts Half a Day
An iPad that used to run all day now needs charging by noon. Battery capacity degrades after 500–800 charge cycles. Replacement restores full-day battery life.
Takes All Day to Charge
Very slow charging can indicate a degraded battery struggling to accept charge. We test the battery and charging circuit to identify the correct cause.
iPad Shuts Off at Random
Unexpected shutdowns, even at 60% or 70%, are caused by voltage sags in a failing battery. Replacement eliminates the shutdowns.
iPad Only Works Plugged In
If your iPad shuts off the moment you unplug it, the battery has lost its ability to hold any charge. This requires immediate replacement.
Battery Health Below 80%
Apple recommends replacement when battery health drops below 80%. At this point capacity loss is noticeable and will worsen with every charge cycle.
iPad Overheats While Charging
Excessive heat during charging can signal a failing battery or faulty charging circuit. We diagnose the cause before replacing any parts.
Why Replace Your iPad Battery at ZA Support?
Up-to-3 Year Warranty
Every battery replacement includes a warranty on the replacement cell and labour. Unexpected capacity loss or faults are covered at no cost.
Same-Day When in Stock
We stock batteries for the most common iPad models. Same-day repair is available when your battery is in stock, confirmed when you bring it in.
Battery Health Test Included
We test your iPad battery health before quoting. If the battery is fine and the fault is elsewhere, we diagnose that too, no unnecessary replacements.

We do not use cheap no-name batteries. Our replacement cells meet Apple capacity and cycle specifications and are tested before installation.

“Noticed my iPad mini back was slightly raised, ZA Support confirmed a swollen battery and replaced it within two hours. Safe again and charges perfectly.”
“iPad Pro 11" was shutting off randomly at 60%. Fixed in two hours, up-to-3 year warranty. Should have done this months ago.”
