Unlike iPhones and Macs, iPads don't offer a direct way to see battery health. This can make it difficult to measure battery degradation over time. Apple usually recommends replacing iPad batteries when their capacity drops below 80% of the original value. So it's a good idea to keep an eye on the battery capacity so you know when your iPad is eligible for a battery replacement. Fortunately, there are methods to get an idea of your iPad's battery health. Let's explore three ways to control it.

Keep in mind that you cannot access this data unless you adjust a couple of settings. Here's all you need to do:

That's how you can check iPad battery health without using a third-party app.
