Do you have the “Clean Energy Charging” option on your iPad as described in my previous post? If you do turn it off.
iPadOS 16.7 (20H19)
After being at this version for over a week now the problem remains the same.
Also - v17 for my iPad isn’t offered as the software update reports my model is currently up to date(?)
I am now on 17.0.3 on my iPad Pro, two updates within a couple weeks, and battery is performing better. Not the significant drain within a few hours as before. Haven’t calculated time drain as yet, but noticeably different as not having to recharge so often. Still noting it takes a long time to recharge especially if down to less than 20%.
v17 iOS?
What model number for your iPad Pro please, as I’m only seeing the option for 16.7.1 as the latest OS version.
Currently at 16.7 on Pro 12.9” Model ML0N2CL/A1584 and the battery drain issue remains.
iPad Pro (10.5-inch)
Model MQDX2LL/A

He asked about an iPad not an iPhone there’s no clean energy charging on iPads.
That’s only on the iPhone. It’s not an option on the iPad.

Hi,
My I-Pad Pro is 7 years and I replaced battery 4 months ago. It was ok for awhile, but with last 2 or 3 updates it has deteriorated badly.
Eg, when it says 67% batt left Pad just powers off and when I turn it back on it says 1%. I’m very confused as I’m not that tech savvy. And yet my Pad says my battery is ok. Go figure.
Also I keep having to restore my touch assist every time I turn Pad back on.
Can anyone give me ideas as to what I can do. I can’t afford to buy a new pad this year.
Regards.
OK - this has to be more than the software issue we’ve been discussing on this thread. You don’t say where the battery swap took place but that’s your recourse here. Go back to the service provider and get their help with this.
’Touch assist’ - I assume you reference the issue where the touch screen stops working? This was an issue during the latest rash of software updates for iOS but for my situation at least, seems to have been resolved.
The age of the iPad shouldn’t influence the outcome here.
Good luck with this …
Took your advice. Let’s see what happens.
I have the same problem. iPad will say it has for example 85% battery and then switches off after using it for about 10 minutes. Won’t restart as it says it needs charging. Plug it in and it will say it has 70% charge straight away. Go to use it and same thing happens! Have updated to 17.0 but still the same issue
You don’t say if the battery is original or replaced?
My suggestion would be the same as before - escalate the issue to the Apple support desk as it goes beyond the simple case of excessive battery drain.
I’m speculating here but if the battery is original it could be in need of replacement. Batteries sometimes can maintain a terminal voltage but then be unable to deliver any current draw. This type of fault could explain what you are experiencing.
The way iOS reports the state of charge of a battery seems suspect anyway.
thanks for the reply. Its an original battery from an A1954 6th Gen iPad Pro
Hi,
I took I-Pad Pro back to Omni in Henderson Auckland and I’ve just come back from picking it up. They said it was the battery they put in and it was poked and bloated as in swelling. Lasted 3 months. It was a generic. Not an original Apple one. Let’s see how it goes this time, lol.
I’ve tried all the tricks of the trade as in Eg, having location device off and a host of other things. No difference or marginal only. Anyway I had over 6 years of good use. Frustrated to heck I am.
Next year when OLED I-Pad Pro becomes available, I’ll buy a new one. In the mean time fingers crossed as my name isn’t Elon Musk.
Greybeard and others I thank you for your trying to help us all with you knowledge. Kind of you.
