Introduction |
| Use this guide to replace an old or failed battery that no longer holds a charge, and bring the life back to your iPad Air LTE. | | | If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]]. | | '''***Before you begin, drain your iPad's battery below 25% charge.'''*** This will minimize the risk of a dangerous thermal runaway in the event that you accidentally puncture or deform the battery. | | | Lithium-ion batteries contain dangerous chemicals and may catch fire and explode if punctured or mishandled. Use caution. | | | Parts of this guide were shot with a Wi-Fi model and as such the internals may look slightly different from the LTE model. The procedure is the same for both models except where noted. | | | '''Warning: the battery isolation method in this guide is outdated, and may result in irreversible damage to the battery pins of the logic board, effectively destroying it. If you choose to isolate the battery this way, heed all warnings and work extremely carefully. If you choose to complete the guide without isolating the battery, avoid using metal tools except when completely necessary (like when removing screws) to prevent shorting the battery and damaging sensitive circuit components.''' |
