How can you see battery health on iPad Mini 5th Generation

I see posting/info that you can see battery health (max charge percent) in Settings --> Battery.


But this is not visible on an iPad Mini 5th Generation running iOS 14+


Am I missing something? How can I see this on the iPad, or is it not visible on this model?

Thanks.

iPad mini 5, iPadOS 14

The battery health feature is exclusive to iOS for iPhone. Inclusion of this feature is relatively recent.


iOS/iPadOS for iPad has never had the Battery Health feature - most likely because iPad batteries are both considerably larger and have a much longer service life. 


An iPad battery is rated to maintain at least 80% of its initial capacity after 1000 full charge/discharge cycles - whereas an iPhone is rated to have 80% of initial capacity after 500 full cycles.


There are software packages available that can access battery cycle count. Popular choices for Mac are Coconut Battery and iMazing - whereas iMazing is available for PC.
