iPad Battery Pro 10.5

[SeMu]

Hello all.
I’m getting the knock back from Apple about my battery “failure”, I need to charge twice a day and I’m not doing anything heavy, just mail and Safari. They say it’s ok and healthy on 82%. Any thoughts on how I could run the battery down to an unhealthy below 80%

The requirements for battery replacements on iPads are more stringent because Apple replaces the whole device. Not much you can do other than to keep using it.

Operating temperature. iPad is designed to work in ambient temperatures between 32° and 95° F (0° and 35° C) and stored in temperatures between -4° and 113° F (-20° and 45° C). iPad can be damaged and battery life shortened if stored or operated outside of these temperature ranges. Avoid exposing iPad to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity. When you’re using iPad or charging the battery, it is normal for iPad to get warm.

If the interior temperature of iPad exceeds normal operating temperatures (for example, in a hot car or in direct sunlight for extended periods of time), you may experience the following as it attempts to regulate its temperature:

• iPad stops charging.
• The screen dims.
• A temperature warning screen appears.
• Some apps may close.

Important: You may not be able to use iPad while the temperature warning screen is displayed. If iPad can’t regulate its internal temperature, it goes into deep sleep mode until it cools. Move iPad to a cooler location out of direct sunlight and wait a few minutes before trying to use iPad again.

If you want a quick way to toast the battery in order to get to the repair threshold, just run a bunch of intensive benchmarks while off the charger, this will drain the battery a lot which will also speed up the amount it degrades.

It will also likely be very hot to the touch so wear gloves or oven mitts.

Thanks everyone for your input, I’ll give the benchmark trick a whirl.
Funny how Apples idea of ok battery health is nothing like my real world experience and having to use power banks or charging twice a day.
I don’t like having to behave underhand but I feel they started it by not taking my money for what I need, a new battery. I won’t be going down the iPad pro road again.

Apple is so shady about iPad battery replacements. Not only they don't disclose the information, but make it super difficult for people with legitimate battery issues to obtain proper service at acceptable price.

Yeah.. shame that we have to deliberately ruin the battery before they cave and say "Okay yeah. This one is actually bad now".... like it wasn't bad with a wondrous 4 hour battery life
