What does the battery health information mean?
The battery health information provides you with important insights into the current condition of your iPad's battery. It includes the maximum capacity and peak performance capability.
The maximum capacity indicates the overall health of your battery. A higher percentage means your battery is in good condition, while a lower percentage indicates a degraded battery.
The peak performance capability shows whether your iPad supports peak performance management. If your battery has degraded significantly, your device may automatically reduce its performance to prevent unexpected shutdowns.
How to interpret the battery health information?
If your iPad's battery health is above 80%, it is considered to be in good condition. However, if the battery health is below 80%, it may be time to consider a battery replacement.
If the peak performance capability is disabled, it means your battery has significantly degraded, and you may experience performance issues. In such cases, replacing the battery can improve your iPad's performance.
Conclusion
Checking the battery health on your iPad is essential for maintaining its longevity and performance. By following the simple steps mentioned above, you can easily access the battery health information and take appropriate actions to ensure your iPad continues to serve you well.
