iPad battery

[gsusser]

I have an odd question. I had the battery replaced on my iPad mini 5. The device is about 5 years old and the battery wasn't lasting nearly as long as previously - for streaming and gaming, only a few hours. When I got the iPad back from the store, it seemed absolutely no different from when I brought it in. My question is, how can I check if the battery was actually replaced? Is there a way to check battery health like with the iPhone?

Fyi, I am in South America and the repair was done by an authorized Apple service center here. The charge was about $75 USD.

Thanks.

Look up how to view the battery cycle count.

I found coconut battery, a very useful app to check battery health on apple products.
