iPad shutting down with 50% battery

My iPad has become frustratingly unusable shutting down with 50% battery life. Is there a fix ? I have looked online and carried out the recommended settings, all to no avail.

iPad Air, iOS 12

As described your battery may require replacement. Assuming that the iPad remains functional, you would be well advised to directly contact Apple Support - and request a remote battery test. The result of the test may better inform your next steps.


You will find the Contact Support link at top-right of this page. Alternatively, you can open a support case using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

As a further alternative, you might visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store - where the technicians will be able to test and assess you iPad.
