Common iPad Air 1 Battery Problems
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries gradually deteriorate through normal use and repeated charging cycles.
As an iPad Air battery ages, its ability to store and deliver power can reduce significantly.
Common symptoms of an ageing or faulty iPad Air 1 battery include:
• Battery percentage dropping unusually quickly
• iPad constantly needing to be recharged
• Battery no longer lasting as long as it previously did
• Unexpected shutdowns
• iPad switching off while battery percentage remains
• Unreliable battery percentage readings
• iPad only remaining powered reliably while connected to a charger
• Battery becoming unusually warm
• Swollen or expanding battery
If your iPad Air is experiencing these symptoms, replacing the internal battery may restore normal portable use.
iPad Air 1 Battery Draining Quickly
One of the most common signs of an ageing battery is significantly reduced running time between charges.
You may find that an iPad Air which previously lasted for many hours now requires charging several times during normal use.
Battery performance naturally deteriorates as the internal battery goes through repeated charging and discharge cycles.
If the battery has lost a significant amount of its usable capacity, replacement can restore much more practical battery performance.
iPad Air 1 Constantly Needs Recharging
If your iPad Air needs to be connected to the charger far more frequently than it previously did, the internal battery may no longer be storing sufficient energy.
This can eventually make the iPad difficult to use away from a power source.
Our battery replacement service removes the ageing or faulty internal battery and installs a replacement before the charging and power functions are tested.
iPad Air 1 Unexpectedly Shutting Down
A deteriorated battery can sometimes cause an iPad to switch off unexpectedly, even when the battery indicator suggests that power remains.
This can occur when the battery is no longer able to maintain the power required by the iPad during normal operation.
The device may subsequently restart when it is connected to a charger.
If the shutdown problem is being caused by the battery, replacing the battery can resolve the fault.
iPad Air Battery Percentage Is Unreliable
An ageing or faulty battery can sometimes cause unusual battery percentage behaviour.
The percentage may fall rapidly, remain at one level for an unusually long period or change significantly after the iPad is restarted.
Battery percentage problems are not always caused by the battery itself, but when combined with poor battery life or unexpected shutdowns they can indicate a deteriorated battery.
What Is Included in the £74.99 iPad Air 1 Battery Replacement?
Our professional iPad Air 1 battery replacement service includes:
• Professional dismantling of the iPad
• Removal of the worn or faulty internal battery
• Installation of the replacement battery
• Internal visual inspection during repair
• Charging functionality testing
• Battery and power testing
• Professional reassembly
• 3-month warranty covering the original repaired fault
The iPad is tested following replacement to confirm that the battery and charging functions are operating correctly.
Professional iPad Air 1 Battery Replacement
The battery inside the original iPad Air is fitted internally and is not designed to be replaced by removing an external battery cover.
The iPad must be carefully opened before the internal battery can be accessed.
Our engineer removes the existing battery, installs the replacement and professionally reassembles the iPad.
Charging and power functions are then tested before the repair is completed.
Battery Fault or Charging Port Fault?
Battery and charging port problems can sometimes produce similar symptoms, so identifying the correct fault is important.
If your iPad recognises the charger normally but the battery runs down very quickly or no longer holds charge for a reasonable period, the battery is a likely cause.
If the Lightning cable feels loose, charging cuts in and out when the cable is moved or the iPad only charges when the connector is held at a particular angle, the charging port may be faulty instead.
A damaged Lightning port requires a charging port repair rather than a battery replacement.
Battery Fault or Logic-Board Charging Fault?
The battery and Lightning port are not the only components involved in charging an iPad Air.
Charging is also controlled by electronic circuitry located on the logic board.
An iPad can therefore fail to charge correctly even when the battery and charging port are not responsible for the problem.
Symptoms such as displaying the charging symbol without the battery percentage increasing can require further investigation.
If testing identifies a charging circuit or logic-board fault rather than a defective battery, we will explain the appropriate repair before additional chargeable work is carried out.
Swollen iPad Air 1 Battery
Lithium-ion batteries can occasionally swell as they deteriorate or fail.
A swollen battery can place pressure on components inside the iPad and may cause the front screen to begin lifting away from the aluminium frame.
If your iPad appears swollen or the screen is being pushed away from the frame, stop using and charging the device and arrange for it to be inspected.
Do not attempt to press a lifted screen back into position, as this can place additional pressure on the battery.
Will a New Battery Fix an iPad Air That Will Not Turn On?
A completely dead iPad Air can be caused by a faulty battery, but the battery is only one possible cause.
No-power faults can also result from the Lightning charging port, charging circuitry, power circuitry or another logic-board problem.
If your iPad Air is completely dead and the cause is unknown, diagnosis may be more appropriate than automatically replacing the battery.
This helps avoid replacing a battery when another component is actually responsible for the fault.
Will iPad Air 1 Battery Replacement Delete My Data?
Replacing the battery does not normally require the iPad to be erased or reset.
Your applications, photographs and other stored information would therefore normally remain on the device following a straightforward battery replacement.
However, important data should always be backed up whenever possible before any electronic device is submitted for repair.
We recommend maintaining a current backup before bringing or sending your iPad to us.

A1474 is the Wi-Fi model.
A1475 is a Wi-Fi + Cellular model.

How much does an iPad Air 1 battery replacement cost?
Our iPad Air 1 battery replacement service costs £74.99.
Which iPad Air models does this repair cover?
This service covers the original iPad Air models A1474, A1475 and A1476.
How do I know if my iPad Air battery needs replacing?
Common signs include poor battery life, rapid battery drain, frequent recharging, unexpected shutdowns and the iPad only remaining powered reliably when connected to a charger.
My iPad Air charges but the battery drains very quickly. Could the battery be faulty?
Yes. If the iPad recognises and charges normally but battery life has become significantly shorter, an ageing battery is one possible cause.
My iPad only charges when I move the cable. Do I need a new battery?
Probably not. Charging that starts and stops when the Lightning cable is moved is more suggestive of a charging cable or charging port problem.
My iPad shows the charging symbol but the percentage does not increase. Is the battery faulty?
Possibly, but charging circuitry and logic-board faults can produce similar symptoms. Diagnosis may therefore be required.
Can a swollen battery lift the iPad screen?
Yes. A swollen battery can place pressure on the display and cause it to lift away from the frame. If this happens, stop using and charging the iPad and arrange for it to be inspected.
Will battery replacement erase my data?
Battery replacement does not normally require the iPad to be erased, although maintaining a current backup before repair is recommended.
Does the battery replacement have a warranty?
Yes. A successfully completed battery replacement receives our standard 3-month warranty covering the original repaired fault.

Yes. Our repair centre is at 517 Tonge Moor Road, Bolton, Greater Manchester, BL2 3BG.
