I was wondering if anyone could recommend a third party company who could replace the battery in an iPad Air 2?
How much do apple want, I had my phone battery swapped at apple and it was only £50
How much is in iPad Air 2 worth, the labour and replacement cost as well as packing and shipping would cost more than it’s worth, might as well upgrade.

it’s a flat £99 for all iPads.
It's not for me, it's for my girlfriend's youngest daughter, she's 6 years old. It was my old one (just upgraded to an 11" Pro 2020). I just want to see if it's cost effective.
The iPad is only lasting for a few hours with continual use/play before needing to be recharged. I had it 6 years from new, so I think the battery must be done.
Is that £99 even if it's out of warranty?
I'm an idiot! I looked at that page yesterday and didn't see the battery service section
Just got put off immediately by the iPad Service Pricing!
Can anyone recommend a reliable app to see the current battery health and cycles before spending the money?
I'm right in thinking that the iPad Air 2 should last longer than a few hours after a full charge??

iMazing would do the job.
Yes but at 6 years old the battery will be done so a few hours doesn’t sound crazy.
I have an iPad Air 2 and have no issues with battery life. It can easily last several days between charges. I don’t use it that heavily though. I’ve had mine since early 2015. I was happy to read that it will be getting iOS 14 this autumn, which is amazing for a device that was launched in Oct 2014!
The Air 2’s A8X processor is getting quite old now though, so it’s possible that current games tax the processor quite heavily and may be draining the battery prematurely. No doubt some battery capacity will have been lost since new too.
Has your Air 2 had particularly heavy use/many re-charge cycles over the years you’ve had it?
at least the refurbished will be in pristine condition with no scratch on glass and no scuff on the body.
