What to do when iPad battery life has deteriorated?

It is inevitable that the battery of your iPad, or any other battery powered gadget for that matter, will depreciate in terms of  capacity and performance over a considerable amount of time which means you will need to get fresh new batteries or a possible unit replacement depending on the manufacturer of your device.

As for Apple products, you may drop by the nearest MAC/Apple Retail store or visit their website for further support details. If your iPad will require service, it is highly recommended that you back-up your iPad files before you hand it over because during the service process all the data on your iPad will be erased.

Apple suggests that you back-up your data via iCloud or iTunes. Alternatively, you may download and use AVGO’s Free iPad to Computer Transfer program.
