You would find many uses for your iPad. For instance, it's useful for taking down notes during class. Likewise, you'll also find it useful for work, particularly if your job is related to creative content.
With its many uses, you'll definitely want to keep the battery health of your iPad at its prime condition. iPads with a deteriorating battery do not hold a charge for a long time, and you would have to keep it plugged in to be able to use it. But that can be inconvenient.
While you can replace your iPad's battery, it can be quite expensive. Therefore, it is important to maintain the health of your iPad's battery. In this article, we outline several things that you can do to maintain your iPad's battery health.
1. Avoid Exposing Your iPad to Extreme Temperatures
Storing your iPad in a place that's too hot or too cold could cause harm to its battery health, according to Make Use Of. In particular, storing your iPad in an environment with hot temperatures can cause permanent damage to your battery capacity. The battery of your iPad will drain faster and it won't hold a charge as long as it used to.
Moreover, it you recharge your device in high temperatures, it could do even more damage to your iPad. Aside from being dangerous, the damage done to your battery in high temperatures is not reversible.
Likewise, cold temperatures will easily drain your iPad's battery. Although, they won't cause permanent damage like heat will do, exposing your iPad to cold temperatures should also be avoided.
2. Remove the Case While Charging
Charging already heats up your iPad, and having a case will only make it even hotter. Since heat can cause harm to your battery, you should avoid any incidents where your iPad will get too hot.
Charging your device with a case won't do as much damage as extreme temperatures but charging is something you do regularly so it means over time, it might cause damage to your iPad. To avoid this, it is better to take your case off when you recharge your iPad.

3. Store Your iPad Half Charged if You're Storing it For a Long Time
Make sure you store your iPad properly if you're not planning to use it for a long time. Avoid putting it in places with extreme temperatures. Also, make sure that your battery is at 50 percent when you turn it off, according to iPad Pilot News.
Apple recommends having the battery at 50 percent when you store it in order to preserve your battery capacity. Storing the device with a dead battery might cause it to enter into a deep discharge state, meaning it will never work again.
4. Update Your iPad to the Latest Software
It is important to always update your iPad to the latest version of iPadOS. It is a quick and easy way to protect the battery health of your device. This is because the latest version of iPadOS comes with newer updates that might include new features that could help you take care of your battery.
5. Turn-on Auto-Brightness
The more you use your iPad battery, the faster it loses capacity over time. If you can help it, you should avoid doing anything that would easily drain your battery. One feature that easily drains a battery is when the screen is turned up too bright. You can easily fix it by turning on the Auto-Brightness of your iPad.
