iPad keeps shutting down
My iPad mini 4 keeps shutting down as well as if the battery is dead but I’ve charged it. Is this an indication of a low battery life? Are there options I can do to fix it?

Hi ALeigh9827,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. It's always important to make sure that your iPad is working as expected. As we understand it, you've verified that your iPad is charged fully, but it still shuts down. Is that right? We'd like to help out with this.
Does this happen when you're using a specific app? Knowing that might help in narrowing this down a bit.
Also, does your iPad seem to be shutting off entirely and staying off, or does it show an Apple logo and restart after shutting down?
Which software version are you using? You can check by tapping Settings > General > About.
As another possibility, are you charging using an Apple-branded charger, or a third-party charger? Have you found the same thing happens regardless of how you're charging your iPad?
You might also double-check your battery usage using this guide: About the battery usage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Are you seeing any particular apps using a large amount of battery life unexpectedly?
Let us know! Take care.
Hello ALeigh9827,
Thanks for the reply! That’s good to know that your device is updated.
Based on your description of what’s been happening, we recommend that you Contact Apple Support to look into this issue further.
Kindest regards.
Hi ryane77,
yes, it’s shutting down using any app. It’s not a specific app. It will shut off and show the plug into battery logo as if it’s not charged. I just hold down the power button and it comes back on. It’s very strange. And the cycle repeats.
I am using software 14.4 and I’m using the Apple charger it came with. I haven’t charged it using any other chargers.
I do see that safari uses the most battery. I make sure to close my apps though to save on the battery life.
