iPad shuts down when charged

Hi! My iPad is only 3 years old and never had a problem

Suddenly when fully charged it shuts down and shows no charge left

If I force it to restart it stays on at 100% for a few minutes then shuts down and shows no battery left again

Sometimes it will stay on at full charge if I use it with the charger but not always. Help!

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 13

The symptoms that you describe suggest a failing battery - quite probably at the end of its usable service life.


You would be well advised to directly contact Apple Support - and request a remote battery diagnostic test. If your iPad battery is failing, they will be able to offer appropriate advice.
