I know with the newer iPads and iOS 7+ I can check the battery health but I'm wondering if there is anyway I can do it with the original iPad running iOS 5.1.1

I tried used Cocobattery but it needs iOS 7+.

Anyway insight would be appreciated!

Thanks!

EDIT: I found a MacOS App called iBackupBot which when connected to the iPad via USB tells you the information. My iPad has 89% health and 199 cycles since I got it in 2010. Not bad.
