Hi, I have a iPad pro 2018 11 inch model. I'm getting poor battery life, watching 4 hours of video drains the battery from 100% to 25%.
When using coconut battery, it shows Manufacture Date 05-20-2019. Charge cycles 171. Battery health 88.2%.

Since the ipad is 7 years old, is there a form of battery degradation that occurs with age that isn't reflected in Coconut battery's data?

Thanks

Is this already downloaded videos? What format? Streaming? What quality etc....there could be many things that has an impact on battery life.

That's pretty normal there is nothing strange there.
Note that 88% battery health does not mean 88% od the original battery life.
In my experience it's more like 75%. And 80% battery health is more like 50-60%.
Under 80% you are like if it lasts a couple of hours.
