IPad Pro 2nd gen battery drain

I have always felt my iPad battery is bad, but today I actually took a closer look and noticed it’s much worse than I thought. I’m seeing a 50% drop in battery while no apps were opened, airplane mode was on and it was left untouched overnight.

Your iPad’s battery is probably degraded over time. If you experience fast battery drain in general use, it’s time to replace the battery.


If you are referring to 2nd generation iPad Pro 12.9, it was released in June 2017, so it is almost 6 years old.


If you are referring to 2nd generation iPad Pro 11, it was released in March 2020, so it is 3 years old.

If experiencing unexplained issues with battery performance, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support - and request a remote diagnostic test.


You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad. If battery service is required, you’ll be in the best possible place to explore your available options:
