Is it possible to purchase a replacement battery for an iPad when the battery is not defective, it has lost the ability to hold a charge due to normal wear and tear?
What happens when the battery in the new iPad you buy today loses 50% of its ability to hold a charge in 2 years?

Typically, most Apple store locations DO NOT do any type of repairs or actual iPad battery replacement.
To expedite quick and speedy customer service, many Apple store locations will ONLY offer in/out-of-warranty device replacement for any iPad repair or battery replacement circumstance.
A device replacement, in lieu of an actual battery replacement, for an iPad is $99 U.S.D., plus tax.
Time to use the “Support” link, in the top black Apple Website menu bar, at the upper right hand corner of every Apple Support Community Webpage to attempt to schedule an appointment with your nearest Apple Store location to have your iPad evaluated/diagnosed and options presented to you.
Apple Store employees will be glad to help/assist you.
Sorry & Best of Luck to You!

Yes, you can pay Apple to replace the battery after the warranty has expired.
Apple classify devices within support - and for older devices that are no longer sold, are classified as “vintage” (for which hardware service and parts remain available) or “obsolete” - at which time no parts or service are available.
More information about available out-of-warranty services can be found here:
Obtaining service for your Apple product after an expired warranty - Apple Support
System software updates are generally only supported for five to seven years from release of the product. Unlike hardware support, the end of update support is not calculated from end-of-sale.
Thanks Michel! I don't have a problem currently as I own a Microsoft Surface Pro. (I have owned an iPad in the past). Microsoft make it almost impossible to replace a battery so I am researching if I will have the same problem if I purchase a powerful iPad and the battery wears out before the storage, ram or cpu are obsolete.
I was incorrect. It’s a minimum of five years after they discontinue the model but can be as long as seven, depending on the product and your region.
Obtaining service for your Apple product after an expired warranty - Apple Support
Apple generally provides warranty service for iPads for seven years after they discontinue the model.
Not seven after they launch it, you mean seven years after they stop selling it. Did I understand you correctly?
Thank you for clarifying that Idris! You have been very helpful and it is most appreciated.
Glad it helped!
For what it’s worth, I think the current iPad Pros are fantastic (though I’ve never had a Surface so can’t compare).
