Hello,


I am not sure how helpful this is as the battery battery part number is not listed but the Technical Specifications list some information about batteries.


iPad Air - Technical Specifications

"Power and Battery6

  • Wi-Fi
    • Built-in 32.4-watt-hour rechargeable lithium-polymer battery
    • Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music
    • Charging via power adapter or USB to computer system
  • Wi-Fi + Cellular
    • Built-in 32.4-watt-hour rechargeable lithium-polymer battery
    • Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music
    • Up to 9 hours of surfing the web using cellular data network
    • Charging via power adapter or USB to computer system"


Because you included the part number rather than the model number I am not sure which version of the iPad Air you have. It may be considered vintage or might be obsolete.
